In the news

Impressive use of the word "might".

Which team is it this week for Keane?

She is I believe broke, as Jagger is kicking her sorry arse out of the house that he owns.

He's 84 so she won't have to have sex with him. Viagra isn't that much of a miracle drug.

Ah - all that business about "undisclosed divorce settlement" must mean she didn't do very well out of his vast fortune.

He is notoriously careful with his cash though.

Ronnie isn't. He once took £30k out of his house in the seventies and instead of doing the renovation work to his house, he freebased the lot.

And what's wrong with a lollipop stick or two?

Splinters in your vagina?

The things we do for a billion pounds love...

Not sure this has been posted. Helmet cam footage of the El Chapo raid.

...and woman number 2 being dragged in court (There's another woman facing court for getting medication for her under 16 year old daughterto induce an abortion. Otherwise you need to cough up to £££ to go to England, NHS won't pay for it, and of course travel never would be paid anyway and face all sorts of practical issues/stigma

I do get a touch frustrated with Westminster and their looking the other way approach.
Justice may be devolved to NI, but human rights are not.

Terrible though it may be for the women to be forced to defend her rights to her own body, you might hope that some good could come out of this - the case goes up to the ECHR, and the law is officially called out as the antiquated, misogynistic, retarded travesty that it is, and deemed unlawful in itself.

[Edit]

Just read that the Belfast High Court has already ruled that the law is incompatible with human rights, but that the legislators are too stuck up their own collective women-hating arses to do anything about it.

To make this any more bitter, Suzanne Lee who has told the whole world she took pills is not facing court. Also, a lot of activists who signed a letter admitting to this (a crime basically...) aren't either. But, they're going after a young woman and a young mother and her teenage daughter.

So people in a more vulnerable position. Selective "justice".

Such a sad state of affairs.

The Penn Rolling Stone article was awful. It seems even more trite now.

Celebrities and gangsters...

Robot Wars is coming back.

Probably more excited about this than I should be but then again, most of the people who used to watch it are probably in their 30's now.

I discussed doing an robot AI related dissertation with Prof Noel Sharkey (one of the Robot Wars judges) but ended up doing something far more dull instead with a different lecturer.

I'm gonna cut your heart out with a spoon!

RIP Alan Rickman. :(

Got tickets for the Manc live show! Can't wait. I'm nearer 20 than 30 and remember it well!

The thing is that the number of environmental disaster stories that you've never heard about before is incredibly depressing:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/15/french-drug-trial-one-person-in-coma-and-five-critically-ill

Just say "Non".

Or maybe 'just sign non' if a drug trial has fucked up your ability to speak.

Just dribble non?
