Get Out Of Debt

Bad times in the economy means a lot of people can find themselves in debt. There are some quick fixes out there and they all have one thing in common, they won't work.

You want a solution that's a bit more serious. Have a look at www.debtfreellc.com because they have some great advice on how you can get out of debt.

They give you a personalised financial plan that is specifically tailored to your situation. Then you use that plan to sensibly head out of debt. No one is saying it's going to be easy, but if anyone says it can be easy they're probably lying.

Fart Free Pants

Some people don't understand what the deal is with science. They don't see the beauty.

Tell them this, and they will see it.

A US company invented an underwear fabric that absorbs all smells.

Now that's technology working for you. We should hand it out to tramps. Imagine how good the world could be.

The material is inserted into a pair of pants with two self-adhesive strips and traps any pongs or whiffs.

So the problems of farts will never be the same again. Of course if you get rid of the smell you will still have the noise. If people are free to let rip because they'd be no smell there will be a general background of fart noise.

And you thought kids trying out their ring tones was annoying.

The Dark Side Of Cartoons

Do you sometimes suffer when you are surrounded by happy people and you're not quite in the mood?

Sometimes people are little rays of sunshine, and all you want is some sunglasses.

Well, you can take the edge of a happy person by showing them this.

It's kids' cartoon characters violently killed.



The images are part of an art exhibition. The pressure group Mothers Against Violence said it was “sick”. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation myself.

The Age Of Information

Data Warehousing Software

In the past society has been through the age of farming, the age of iron, the age of industrialisation, but now I'd say we live in a time of information. Data rules. It's all about getting the data in, dealing with it well, and using it. That runs everything.

Their products are used by 90% of all the companies who are listed on the Fortune 100. And their software is used by companies across 50 countries. So the pedigree is there.

Their software deals with speed data warehouse processing, they can improve database loads, and improve query performance.

If you need your data backed up and protected, they can do that too.

You can see more on their website, www.syncsort.com.

The Lego Of Evil

It's been a while since Lego was a hot, contentious issue. In fact I bet the last time you had an issue with Lego you were probably 7 and you couldn't find the roof bit you needed.

But now Lego has upset religious leaders. A range of Lego-style fighting figures that include an al-Qaeda terrorist has been made. Oooh, there's nothing like a mini terrorist to cause upset.

Mohammed Shaffiq, of Muslim organisation The Ramadhan Foundation, branded the toy “absolutely disgusting”. He said: “It is glorifying terrorism — the makers should be ashamed.

Wait a minute. When Lego made a Darth Vader figure no one thought they were glorifying the dark side. The makers weren't told to be ashamed of promoting the ways of the Sith.

If someone takes their moral judgements from the Lego they play with, they've got bigger issues to worry about.

I don't know why the religious people are upset, it's the Americans who have the right to be annoyed. Lego can be used to make a model of the Twin Towers, and now they've sent in the al-Qaeda Lego. Now that's taking the p***.

Amy Winehouse's farewell sex with Blake

Apparently Amy Winehouse had sex with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil before he was sent back to prison, as a final goodbye.

Ain't that just the final irony of life: the kind of woman who will have say to say goodbye is the kind of woman you don't want to leave.

David Van Day: How the I'm A Celebrity star became Mr Nasty

DVD has left the jungle. He was a drama queen, a pain, a manipulator but we'll be sad to see him go because when he cried like a baby when he had to do a trial, that was good TV.

Boy George guilty of falsely imprisoning male escort

Well, Boy George has bee convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort. He admitted to police that he handcuffed Norwegian Audun Carlsen to his bed at his flat in Shoreditch, east London, on April 28 last year.

When he sings, "Do you really want to hurt me?" The answer is yes, if you come near me with those handcuffs again.
