:) made me giggle. I love our ridiculously long winded set of rules for the second smallest piece of punctuation...

RBS to cut 3,700 branch staff | Business | guardian.co.uk

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:45:29 -0800

From the page: Royal Bank of Scotland is to cut 3,700 jobs in its branch network as it prepares to announce a major restructuring tomorrow.

The job cuts at the bank, which is 70% owned by the taxpayer, will come into force from next May. The cuts total 14% of staff at branches, which include the RBS and NatWest brands.

The news comes as the bank prepares to announce the sell-off of key assets, such as its Direct Line insurance business, as an EU-imposed price for taking state aid in the government's bank bailout last October.

Unions reacted angrily to the news, describing the decision as "absolute madness".

Is this news? There's been a delivery system like this in Manchester for years, if not decades...

Nothing in this photograph is real. She may as well have been computer generated because of the amount of photoshopping going on here.

As protesters bay outside BBC, Nick Griffin insists I am not a Nazi | Politics | The Guardian

From what I've seen of this edition of Question Time, the one thing I can see from Nick Griffin's responses to the questions he received, was how far we have come in understanding the fundimental hypocrisies of a National Socialist party. He tries to knit the two sides of his party, the far right racist bigotry, with the obvious but utterly misguided social patriotism that has a great majority in the BNP. I would feel sorry for Nick Griffin if he hadn't brought his confused and potentially harmful politics to the mainstream. It's one thing being a misguided, hateful national socialist without any power, and another leading a party of misguided, hateful national socialists.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | New instrument scales musical heights

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:38:17 -0700

There's been quite a large bit of hype surrounding the Eigenharp, and although the music that can be made with this instrument is nothing new, it is the first time this kind of music can be truly played somewhat analogously. By that I mean it gives a lot more freedom to make electronica that involves improvisation and even more humanised elements to the music. It does sound like it's been written on an Atari 1040ST but the beauty is: It's live!
