Brief notes
1. I’ve been talking this week with an old friend from school, and one of the subjects that came up was names and how we’d both not really liked ours for one reason or another. But having read this story, I can see that we got off easy. I mean, I thought Moon Unit, Fifi Trixibelle and Zowie were bad enough - but Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii? Come on, how stoned do you have to be to lump your daughter with a name like that?
2. The BPI has pressurised the Government into pressurising the major UK ISP’s to make it their problem to deal with illegal online file-sharing. So, if you’ve been sharing files illegally you might soon be getting a letter from your ISP to tell you to stop it. I’m not sure that I agree it is the ISP’s problem - what about the people that produce the software that make it possible?
3. It’s official; Max Moseley is not a Nazi. Son of a fascist, bad for motorsport in general and Formula One in particular, an embarrassment to his family, and £60,000 richer after the verdict - but not a Nazi.
4. Poor old David Cameron, Conservative leader and (in)famous cyclist. He’s had his bike stolen while out shopping. Wonder if it’s up on eBay yet?
5. Fans of Beaker should check out this clip. Priceless.
