Lots of Links
Just to give you something to read while I go through the pictures I will need for the Goatfell page of my travelogue, have a few links I found interesting the last few days:
- I've only started to drink real ale fairly recently, just before I fell out of the age group brewers are concerned about: Two-thirds of 18 to 34-year-olds have never tried real ale. I guess they just don't know what they're missing: Islay Ales, Arran Brewery and Loch Fyne Ales.
- Not too much new, but still an interesting read about spam filters, how spammers try to get around them and how people cope with it.
- After the quite bad weather this summer (summer? what summer?) an interesting read about lightnings and their dangers in The Independent. Did you know that
during a thunderstorm, lightning can strike as far as 10 miles from the area where rain is falling
? Better watch out...
- Terrorism, politics, traffic chaos, crime, the news are full of it. But then again, does it all really matter? I sometimes wonder.
- The "affair" (I always thought for an affair at least one of the involved needs to be married?) between Sven Goran Eriksson and Faria Alam was (well, still is) all over the news. The Sunday Herald has a list of the 10 best celebrity mistresses. That should keep the gossipy types among my readers happy. Hopefully.
- Boyz need toyz? The Kalashnikov MP3 player (via The Register. Might be NSFW depending on your company). May be not such a good if you're planning to travel, considering that you can get arrested with terrorism charges for carrying 5 bullets...
- So far for Freedom Fries and all that nonsense: Americans are returning for holidays in France.
I hope that will keep you busy for a while...
