Quote from UK squaddies in response to Defence minister… "Umm Qasr (Iraq) is a town similar to Southampton", UK Defence Minister Geoff Hoon told the House of Commons yesterday.
"He's either never been to Southampton, or he's never been to Umm Qasr", said one British soldier, informed of this while on patrol in Umm Qasr.
Another added: "There's no beer, no prostitutes, and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth."
UK : East : Ambulance Service expecting record calls from football-related incidents and the cops are alll on standby as well - (Eastern England has a high proportion of Portugese immigrants, there was a near-riot in Thetford in 2004 following the last England vs Portugal match)
Ambulances set for cup emergency
A newly merged ambulance service says it expects a record number of 999 calls on its first day of operation. England are playing a quarter final in the World Cup and their last weekend game brought a 25% increase in calls to the East Anglian ambulance service.
The new East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust covers Essex, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Hertfordshire and Suffolk.
A spokesman said: "We're ready for a huge increase in calls on Saturday."
Although the service now covers a much wider area, managers claim response times will not be affected.
The spokesman said: "Most of the calls last time came after the game and were the direct result of people drinking too much and fighting or falling over.
"Football, the weekend and sunshine are a potent combination producing cases of dehydration and violence."

A penis asks for a raise… I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following very good reasons:
-I do physical labour
-I work in great depths
-I plunge head first into everything I do
-I don´t get weekends or public holidays off
-I work in damp conditions
-I don´t get paid overtime
-I work in high temperatures
-My workplace is dark with poor ventilation
-My work exposes me to contagious diseases
Yours sincerely, the Penis
Dear Penis
After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the adminstration rejects your request for the following reasons:
-You don´t work eight hours straight
-You fall asleep on the job after brief work periods
-You don´t always follow the exact orders of the management team
-You don´t stay in your designated area and often visit other locations
-You don´t take the initiative. You need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working
-You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift
-You don´t always observe safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing
-You will retire well before you are 65
-You are unable to work double shifts
-You sometimes leave your designated work before you have completed the task assigned to you
-You have been seen constantly entering, and exiting, the workplace carrying two suspicious looking bags
Sincerely, The Management

London Critical Mass Clampdown? – Policing Policy ‘Under Review’ Hey.
At the last london critical mass bike ride, the cops handed out a letter that warned participants may be liable for prosecution and that "Police policy in facilitating these events is currently under review"...
Mostly the cops on bikes and motorbikes follow along with the critical mass cyclists, withvery little bother. Now it seems they may be preparing to start clamping down on the bike riders.
This year in new york - after yrs of pretty trouble free events - the cops have started arresting people etc etc - wonder if this will happen here?
God this country's getting fucking depressing. Anyway - here's the info on the next critical mass ride, where people are hoping there will be a strong turn out...
JOIN LONDON’S BIGGEST EVER CRITICAL MASS CYCLE RIDE
- FRIDAY OCT. 28TH
London CM meets at 6pm on the last Friday of each and every
month. The first 45 minutes or so is usually spent socialising and the ride has usually left the meet-up point by 7pm. On average the ride lasts about 2 hours but the time is flexible depending on who is there and what the weather is like. This meet up point is central, chilled out and great for pre-ride socialising/planning.
There are a couple of bars/cafes nearby for any cyclists looking for refreshments. The ride often flows around central London taking in major tourist attractions. There is no set route, and the direction we move in is spontaneously chosen as we cycle. Anyone is free to join or leave the ride while it is taking place. The ride usually ends somewhere pretty central, often a pub! People on any form of unpowered wheeled transport are also welcome (eg skates, skateboards, unicycles, wheelchairs, supermarket trolleys…).
SO WHY IS THIS CRITICAL MASS GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST EVER?
On Sept 30th police (who usually facilitate the mass in an
unobtrusive way) handed out warning letters to cyclists
(reproduced overleaf) in an indefensible attack on freedom of
assembly/expression/transport, and the mass will go ahead bigger and more fun than ever in the face of this unprecedented attempt at repression.
Critical Mass in London has rolled on since 1994 without police threatening to use the POA to impose conditions. Why invoke it now when there's been no need up to now?
Why are they wasting time threatening innocent cyclists? Car
drivers flock together to block the roads on a daily basis
commuting to and from work. We don’t block the traffic – we ARE the traffic!!!

Critical Mass Cycle Demonstrations
Organisers of public processions are required by law to notify police at least 6 days before the event occurs of the date, time, proposed route and the name and address of an organiser. Failure to do so makes the event unlawful
Demonstrations within a designated area around Parliament must also be notified, and anyone taking part in an unauthorised demonstration commits an offence.
Police can impose conditions on processions, demonstrations and other assemblies, and participants render themselves liable to arrest if they fail to comply with those conditions.
These cycle protests are not lawful because no organiser has provided police the with the necessary notification. Your participation in this event could render you liable to prosecution.
Police policy in facilitating these events is currently under review.
If you intend to organise a future similar event please refer to the Metropolitan Police website, www.met.police.uk for details. It is preferable for all parties if a lawful event can be safely facilitated, rather than the Police having to enforce legislation.
Superintendent Gomm
New Scotland Yard
SUGGESTED REPLY – PLEASE WRITE!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your letter of the 29th in which you raised your concern that perhaps cyclists might be breaking the law by organising public processions. However, your concern is misplaced since the monthly community ride is not a procession or indeed a protest. Critical mass has no route and no organisers and doesn't aim to be a demonstration.
While new draconian laws now prohibit democracy around Parliament without prior notification this really has nothing to do with the monthly critical mass bike ride which is an ongoing event and nothing new - just like Brian Haw's constant vigil.
Police may like to impose conditions on critical mass and arrest participants not complying to such conditions. However, nobody involved in the ride is in a position to negotiate with the
police as the event is by nature, unorganised and without leaders.
These cycle rides are lawful even though no organiser has provided police the with the necessary notification and while participation may render one liable to wrongful arrest I am certain that we would be victorious in court and well compensated for any assault or unlawful detention resulting from such an action.
If you intend to review police policy in 'facilitating' these events please refer to the dozens of critical mass related websites. It is preferable for all parties to be aware of Human Rights Acts so that unlawful acts by the police can be avoided, rather than wasting court time on overturning bad legislation.

JP : Dell Laptop explodes at IT conference! There have been recent recalls of Dell portable equipment due to power supply and battery design faults. Dell are investigating, but have been tight-lipped about possible reasons
however an Li-Ion battery is a big chunk of chemicals which can go kaboom if overheated....
Could have been even more nasty if that was on someones lap!
