Not sure if this photo link will work, but fingers crossed it does.
Scanning the BBC news page and dunno if it's just me, but does this silhouette pic of Obama look a little dodgy??! Under the title link of: Obama answers questions on social site Reddit

Sort of like the bottom of the page here.
I've never been able to take the London olympic logo in any way seriously.

All that hassle to save £3.00 a week, bet he listens to the radio!

Cant see his point really, particularly when his petrol bill has probably risen more than that this month, there is much to raise a head of steam on this isn't really a candidate.

I think the Beeb is pretty good value for 40p per day. There's more quality on their channels than the other hundred channels of dross on Freeview.

BTW the detector vans used to work very well with old analogue valve / CRT televisions, as they locked onto the very high emissions from the intermediate frequency oscillator transformer at ~40MHz and they could even determine which channel you were watching. With the advent of ICs and especially with the conversion to digital, I doubt whether they can discriminate a weak TV signal from all the similar background noise from computers etc.

I've often wondered about this - whether the detector vans were just using the same old CRT snooping tech that the TEMPEST guys got in such a flap about. I'd imagine the advent of digital LCD screens has made that stuff much more difficult.
On a similar topic, I read years ago (10 base-T days) that lots of network cards, routers, switches etc. had the flashing "activity" LED just connected directly to the signal lines, so given a conveniently placed window you could snoop on network traffic from some considerable distance with a telescope and a fast photodetector.

Spent the afternoon being pampered by Aston Martin! Champers, canapes, choccies, facials, manicure... oh and test drive of course!

Marvellous!

Ebay ad made me smile, must go and check the Elan see if shes menstruating

PEUGEOT 607 SE HDI AUTO for SALE 
The car is in a very good condition and I'm only selling it because I have another car and do not need this one anymore. 
The timer belt, driver belt, pulls, water pump, the gear box tampon and engine driver's side tampon were replaced only 4 moths ago and function perfectly. The airflow mass meter is also new. It has new front discs and break pots. It has full service (including oil and filters). I changed the driver's side CV joint and ABS sensor as well. The tyres are in a very good condition, the front ones were replaced only a month ago. The interior is in a perfect condition (leather). 
I did all of these improvements only because I'd like to sell the car in the best condition possible. It has never let me down and I would love to keep it for myself if I could. 
The only little defect is that the ESR and ASR light bulbs are always on and the computer says that there's an ABS faulty. I haven't gone to get it checked but I think it's either the ESU of the ABS or the ABS pump has to be changed. 

If you have any more questions or would like to come and see the car please dont hesitate to contact me. 
Thank you.
