Apparently the reason the BNP managed to get seats in the recent elections was not because the number of votes for them had increased - it was due to disillusioned Labour supporters not turning out to vote at all, so the BNP's proportion of the vote increased.
I've not heard anything about poisoning cats, but green tea sourced from China sold in the west contained the toxic pigment Prussian Blue, as discovered by Robert Fortune on his expedition to collect tea plants to start plantations in India. This was at a time when foreigners were forbidden in China, and he risked death by going.
Mr Fortune witnessed the process of colouring them in
the Hung-chow green-tea country, and describes the process. The
substance used is a powder consisting of four parts of gypsum and
three parts of Prussian blue, which was applied to the teas during the
last process of roasting.
'During this part of the operation,' he says, 'the hands of the
workmen were quite blue. I could not help thinking, that if any
green-tea drinkers had been present during the operation, their taste
would have been corrected, and, I may be allowed to add, improved.
One day, an English gentleman in Shang-hae, being in conversation with
some Chinese from the green-tea country, asked them what reasons they
had for dyeing the tea, and whether it would not be better without
undergoing this process. They acknowledged that tea was much better
when prepared without having any such ingredients mixed with it, and
that they never drank dyed teas themselves; but justly remarked, that
as foreigners seemed to prefer having a mixture of Prussian blue and
gypsum with their tea, to make it look uniform and pretty, and as
these ingredients were cheap enough, the Chinese had no objections to
supply them, especially as such teas always fetched a higher price!'
Have you tried turning on the status report function on your phone? Most of them have this, buried in the settings somewhere. You get a message sent to you telling you whether the message was delivered, not delivered, or delayed, and if it wasn't delivered, you receive another when it does eventually get delivered (e.g. if someone had their phone turned off and switches it on again). It doesn't cost anything extra, at least in the UK.
You might find this radio comedy programme amusing, or disturbing. It has a false phone-in section with people's opinions of increasingly invasive CCTV schemes:
BBC Radio 4: As Told to Craig Brown
I'm working on a project using an AFM and STM, and there is really no problem with the scan rate. There is a monitor which is used for aligning the sample and lowering the cantilever onto the surface. . . but the monitor happens to be a TV, so we have the joy of daytime terrestrial television to pass the time. . .
I missed the full stop off that.
I think it must be a rule that when one is writing about others' grammar or spelling, one makes at least one mistake in one's own spelling or grammar.
The man who designed the map (Beck), only got paid £50 I believe. This was after years of submitting the map to London Underground who rejected it in favour of their own map which was just a physical overlay of the network onto the roads.
Despite continued involvement (his life work) and revisions after it was finally accepted, Beck was never paid more than that initial amount.

. . .that's nothing compared to current UK government plans!

Don't worry, most native English-speakers are probably not familiar with it either.

Was I the only one to misread the title as: "IE 8 To Include New Security Holes" ?

A rational fear, surely?
Shematics? Are those plans for making fembots?
