more guns in the 'items we carry' stuff:

my eyes have been rolling so much over this forum I am in danger of getting brain damage but not from what this guy might think:

For the most part, they're a bunch of idiots. Groc has brain damage. The group is at least 2 years old, and has over 2,000 submissions. So for the past 2 years and 2,000 posts, there are pages and pages of wallets, keys, and the occasional knife. Now, for the past two weeks, they're getting something outside the norm for that group. Do they relish the chance to look at something different? Nope. They cry that now "all the posts are boring because they're all guns".

So, 2000, photos of my car keys is exciting, 20 photos of my firearms are boring.

I get it. Morons.

Oh? If the group was so desperately dull and uninteresting before - then why join? Oh wait - it's OK now because it has a few guns in it.

Do we relish the chance to look at something different? Well - no. We're not the gun club.

Living in a plane

73-year-old pays $370/month to live in a plane he bought for $100,000 from a salvage yard

Love the idea. But I'd make it a lot more Austin Power-y in the interior myself. As it is it's a bit too 'Lost' chic. 

Mmm PFAs. Everywhere.

Nightmare Britain

Pupils 'come to school hungry', says teacher union

and this has been happening for a while now and any public outrage about it? - there came none...

Blogspot vs the rest...

I'd blog more - or at least copy/back up things I've posted on FaceBook and Tumblr and Google+ here if only Blogger automatically made nice links with picture thumbnails like all those other places do.  Blogger hasn't moved on much in yours now... Odd considering all the other attempts Google have made to try and do something new (all of them failed) in the world of social media.

This Week - yet another Tory shill gets a platform.

Was watching 'This Week' and being incensed by the vile Julia Hartley-Brewers effectively blaming the under-paid people who have to claim tax credits for er... being poor and having to claim tax credits. According to her it's a simple 'life style choice'. So it's nothing to do with businesses taking the piss by not paying their workers a decent enough wage so they don't have to claim benefits, nothing to do with people not being given the chance to take a full time job because, again businesses are finding it easier and a lot cheaper to take on two or three part timers rather than the one full time employee. Which has also been a crafty ruse of the government in keeping unemployment figures down, if it wasn't for the massive increase in zero hour contracts and part time jobs we'd more than likely have unemployment levels running at something like three or even four million. Julia Hartley-Brewers is your typical 'blame the victim' right-wing shill.
Worse - the token lefty Margret Hodge did nothing to shoot her down, instead she was practically agreeing with her. With people like her in opposition who needs door mats?

New google chrome now with audio out socket.

Woo-hoo which might make it a little bit more useful.
