So earlier this week for work experience I had a chance to go and spend a day in the Westminster office of my local MP. Turns out her assistants share an office with George Osborne's (the chancellor, for you foreigners ) secretaries.
So we were all watching Prime Minister's Questions on the TV in the office as David Cameron declared that he would do all he could to support the Grand Depart short of clothing himself in lycra.
Roughly an hour later, once PMQ had finished and the TV had naturally been switched over to Wimbledon (everyone in the office spent the entire afternoon glued to the tennis, no wonder nothing gets done in this country ) the Tour was brought up in conversation and one of the secretaries decided to check road closures etc on Monday as it goes right past Westminster etc.
There was a brief pause, before: 'It's just absolutely ridiculous - half of central London has to grind to a halt; all the important roads are closed and I won't even be able to commute in properly from south London, all because of some shitty bicycle race.'
Nice to know the government is united in supporting the Tour coming to Britain
7 stabbings in the week so far, Stage of Emergency Declared due to flooding related issues. Not sure why anyone lives in Manitoba apart from the great cottage country.

I can't even bring myself to it. I want so badly to believe the USA is still a great country. I wish the best Independence day to all. Let's hope for a change of heart from the rest of America.

I was wondering if anyone has pages on an iPad can help me. Ive looked online but not found anything. All of a sudden I cannot access any of my old files, only new ones. This is particularly appropriate/annoying, as I have pages and pages of story updates on there, which I cannot access, or even read.
EDIT: Forget that, I just had to update my IOS

Rainforest Connection (RFCx) transforms recycled smartphones into autonomous, solar-powered listening devices that can detect and pinpoint signs of environmental destruction activity—such as chainsaws, gunshots and animal distress calls—at great distance.
Current detection systems rely on satellites which show rainforest destruction days or weeks too late. Our system provides the world's first real-time logging/poaching detection system. We can pinpoint deforestation activity the moment it begins, while simultaneously streaming the data openly and immediately to anyone around the world.
EVERYONE - If you want a good healthy environment to live in in the coming years then I suggest you sign this petition (and recommend it to others): https://action.sum...s-lawsuit/
It basically takes action against the ridiculously immoral and fascist-esq company which is Bayer. Who, if they had their way, would have this planet destroyed in a few years as they seemingly fail to understand the concept that without bees, life on this planet would quickly stop.
Many areas of China have already learned the hard lesson, that without bees (due to death by chemical fertilizers) the land quickly dies ........
It may not be as great as the TDF, but I just returned from Rock Werchter. One day of recharging now before going on holiday with my family. I can still feel the music inside me, the bass to be more precise. Very scary
"What kind of spark plugs does that engine use? The 3rd from left?" This is a "general" museum with 4 buildings and three full storage rooms. Do you think I know about fucking spark plugs?!
"It says on the sign that you open at 10am. Are you open now??" Said at 9.15pm.
"Are we here?" Points at a town in the north... in RUSSIA!
