For the UK traveller, if you want to travel around Europe, the E111 is now no longer be available. It has now changed to the EHIC ( European Health Insurance Card ). You can order this card from the following website www.dh.gov.uk/travellers Oh and this is free!
This will allow you to benefit from free or reduced-cost medical care when travelling in an EEA country or Switzerland.

The UK government has since more news of the extrodinary Rendition stories came out last month that it does not accept evidence obtained via tourture. The truth is now out...

The doucuments below have been published by Craig Murray's website (down at the momet due, either to too much traffic, but more like shut down) Craigs Website (Former UK ambassador to Uzbekistan)

What's in the documents:



There is a lot more info at Blairwatch 

Not much more to add from what Blairwatch says, but suffic to say, add the files from the two links above to your website.

I could add,, Happy New Year to Blair... It's gonna be a nice 2006 for you... Read More

Well maybe not all, there are some people who need to be taken down a peg or two, maybe more. There are 2 and maybe the people who they work with who I'm not too sure I can wish a merry Chrismas. It's the 2 Mr Bs (Bush & Blair)

Everyone else! I hope you have a great Christmas and that you have a great day.

Be safe.

Ok, late last month and early this month there was a major virus outbreak that came in the form of an E-mail from the FBI saying that you had visited a list of websites and that they were to open and attachment to answer some questions. Obviously, this attachment was the virus and as soon as you opened the attachment, you were a gonner. Infected and your PC turned into a spam bot.
I can see you asking, what's this got to do with anything? It was a nasty bit of work and those who wrote it should be shot, quatered and body parts sent to the 4 corners of the earth, But some good has come out of this.

Found this on one of my sites I visit :

All I can say, sometimes, just sometimes some good can be got from something really bad. This is rare!

It was on reading this Vioxx court case ends in mistrial that inspired this post.

Bacground to the issue:

Over the summer, it was reported that Thousands may seek Vioxx damages, as for some people, taking Vioxx has caused very serious problem and in some cases fatal .

I am aware that this issue may cause offence and I'm sure that in the future we may see more cases like this due to the nature of newer drugs. But here we go, Drug companies have to invest millions of dollars to simply get the a drug on the market, A drug can spend years in clinical trials in order to check that the drug will not have to many adverse affects on people. You may or may not know, but your common asperin that you take everyday for all sorts of things, to clearing a headache to thining the blood for Heart attack patients, would not pass todays stringent clinical trials, it goes to show, how difficult these trials are. I'm not justifying what the pharmaceutical companies do, but pointing out how hard it is to test a drug before allowing it to be used by the general public.

So back to the main question, Are Medicines Always To Blame? In my view, not always, it is impossible to be able to test a drug, or anything for every eventuality, for every combination to be able to say, this drug is 100% safe. In fact, NOTHING we take, eat, drink is 100% safe, be it organic or non-organic. Read More

Ok, so it took them 2 weeks to workout how the spelling and other little things are different between the US spellings and UK spellings for english... Actually there is a bit more than that. In the search box, next to the address bar, there is a new item, you can search for words in The Chambers Reference Online references dictionary. Not as complete as Answers.com which can at times send you of on a nice surf of knowledge.

Anyway, get your UK or English GB version of Firefox from here

So I observed on waking up this morning after a night of fiddling around with my gallery ( here ) managed to get Google map included so that you can see where I have been, OK, so I've only been to the London Eye and Nowhere else, Just haven't got around to adding other photos yet. But it's getting there.

On the Job front, I'm still waiting for feedback, as usual, this kills my nerves, so I have to take a deep breath to calm them a bit when ever my phone rings. Hopefully some news for today.

The Tory party as most of you may know have voted in David Cameron ( East end Leadership skills ), Ok so youth triumphed over age and experience (Ken Clarke) but there you go, it's a party with no real focus at the moment. As very often mention Tony Blair is the best Tory PM ever!

Condi Rice is over here in Europe trying to convince us Europeans that the US doesn't support torture, Tony Blair is also trying the same trick, but the evidence is mounting by the day.

Well since Firefox 1.5 came out (have you got yours yet?).
Not much really. It's been kinda quiet with not much to do, out job hunting, I hope I get the job I have been gunning for over the past 3 weeks. It has all I'm looking for, small company, small office, big plans and I would really like to work there. It's also not too far from where I live. well that's relative here in London if it takes you less than 1 hr to get there, it's close by. Read More
