This question came from our 5 year old granddaughter. I had to admit I'd forgotten and that we'd need to look it up on the Internet.

News International's governance is clearly inadequate, as, if the current allegations are true, it failed to prevent illegal payments to the police for information, and it condoned, or neglected to detect, illegal phone tapping. How then can the UK government clear it for a BskyB takeover? Surely the Coalition's own governance would then be in doubt?

Until, and if, the bribery and tapping allegations prove to be unfounded, there should be no question of allowing a controlling interest of a major TV broadcaster to fall into their hands.

So there I am at my desk, trying to sort out a user's data mountain only partly stored on a failing PC, when the phone rings. A voice says "I'm from XYZ Co.", of whom I've never heard. It then asks "Do you remember that no-fault road traffic accident you had in the last three years?". I immediately smelled a rat, and if you smell one, there usually is one. As the vagueness of the wording suggested cold calling and phishing, I soon brought the "conversation" to a close.

An investigation has started into an incident where two horses were electrocuted at Newbury today.

Immediately, I think of three questions:

What could have damaged the cables?
Were they power supply or turf-heating cables?
Does the maintenance regime for the grass involve spiking the area? If so was the spiking contractor aware of the cables?

The depth at which they were buried is very significant.

I've been researching screen materials and came across these great links which I simply had to share. For inspiration, try http://www.rdalland.com/ and for purchase in the UK try http://bit.ly/fCqngW (handy for loads of other fabrics too).
