Hm! South West Trains do not really respect their own notices regarding reserved space for wheelchairs (and prams).

From the raspberry.pi blog - some seriously important information :

We just had a wonderful holiday in a rented cottage in Scotland - and they have a website - http://www.cliff-cottage-grogport.co.uk/.

It's a very nice cottage with fantastic views over the sea - and perfect for sea kayaking. I actually saw seals during my first trip out in the kayak.

The cottage even had a perfect little storage space for the kayaks.

Brits have always had a strange relationship to their pets - they are sometimes (often) more important than their kids and other humans.

So I was not too surprised when I found this leaflet at the vets:

It's basically a service that turns the ashes of your (presumably dead) pet into a small "diamond" to put into a ring or other ornament.....

Go figure.

Bruce Scheier puts it very clearly :

Of course: now that the media is talking about cargo security, we have to "do something." (Something must be done. This is something. Therefore, we must do it.) But if we're so scared that we have to devote resources to this kind of terrorist threat, we've well and truly lost. [From Cargo Security]
