I know someone that had the bad taste to make ponyprobe and minionprobe - but he redeems himself with some geek/TEA/GAS porn at https://www.flickr.com/photos/anachrocomputer/albums
I approve of his work, but only because he had the good taste to choose classic
Fluttershy and Original
Kevin. Thanks for the link... I can waste much valuable time there between skirmishes with the JENGA scattered from hell to breakfast about the house.
I leave you with our welcome from the ground This was mowed into Hatfield Heath on Stansted approach path. Also he's so welcome the Queen can't accommodate him in the palace despite having 775 rooms, 57 of them being guest suites
Thank you for bringing this morning's smile.
I hope Ollie gets an award from Queen mum; he deserves it.

@mnem.dragon - Texas are just getting rid of red light cameras 'cause of the ? USD75 fine/?privacy. Down under in ahem,' glorious' South Australia it is a AUD$405 fine and 3 demerit points (you can get 12 over a 3yr period b4 u lose licence).
Well, it's not that simple. The state constitution here is VERY explicit on how you can fine any citizen for any infraction; they HAVE TO catch you and ARREST you in person. They CANNOT write a ticket to a VEHICLE; it is not a person. They TRIED to do an end run around that by making it a "civil infraction" that wasn't so constrained by the law, which created massive exposure to all the gigacorporations operating chemical plants, fracking sites, and of course refineries; they've spent millions changing the laws to create "corporate personhood".
THAT COULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO STAND.
So no... nothing so altruistic as actual concern over civil liberties.
It eventually boiled down to a simple business choice between collecting pocket change from the general population vs annoying their corporate overlords.
Firstly with Porton Down, I think your taking a risk there....assuming he's a human,:-DD I think we are rapidly becoming the grumpy old men of the forum
Edit.Actually PFI (PPP) was first introduced and used by the Conservatives under John Major in 1992, the Labour attacked it but subsequently went on to be heavy users of the scheme when they gained office in 1997 and it exploded from then on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_finance_initiative
Not surprising; just as with Bush and NAFTA. Clinton has stated several times that signing it is his single great regret; he was brand new in office and made the mistake of thinking they would fix the huge, bleeding holes "in Committee".
I want to believe that, if only for my own sanity and hope for humanity... but it's hard once you see the floodgates of international corruption that single act opened up.
