Things I Like.

This is a departure from my usual rantings in that I will highlight sites and people here that I like or that impress me.

Firstly.. My old web site contained a link to a dissertation written by Guy Fraser Staniland written as a means to his law degree.
The entire dissertation is available for download here as a ZIP file
Unzip it into a clean directory and then run the HTML file and enjoy.
It is also available in the House of Commons Library.

You may find it educational.

In my rants page, I mentioned the desire to post some interesting sites about speed cameras. Try these for starters

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

If you want more, type 'hate speed cameras' in to any search engine and behold.

Political Correctness

I am a proud member of the Campaigns Against Political Correctness.
You can be too by clicking this link www.capc.co.uk

If you are wound up by politically correct garbage then I urge you to sign up.

You get a few leaflets to give to yours friends and a window sticker.
There are some tales on the site to raise anyone's blood pressure.

How about health and Safety suggesting that Ballet teachers should NOT be allowed to TOUCH their students. Maybe a big stick is a suggested alternative?
Or the police witness who was NOT allowed to call the perpetrator of a crime FAT and the term Well Build was deemed to be acceptable.
The Governor of California is definitely "Well Build", but FAT?

Equal opportunity law has been suitably manipulated such that MEN can now sue if their employer insists that they wear a TIE.

When these ridiculous laws were introduced, a small ad appeared in a paper for builders. The ad said "Applicants must be prepared to strip to the waist in summer"
Equal pay, certainly. Opportunity too if the physics allows it. Other than that, get real.

It reminds me of Monty Python's Life of Brian where a conversation between two militants goes like this.

I want to have babies.

But you can't have babies Stan. Where is the foetus going to gestate, you going to keep it in a box?

Don't you oppress me

OK, lets agree that we shall fight for your RIGHT to have babies.

If is wasn't meant to be funny, you could almost hear a resolution being passed in one of our loony councils couldn't you.

By the way The peoples republic of Lambeth have decreed that the towns Christmas Lights will now be called Winter Light so as not to offend Non Christian Faiths.
I wonder how many Mosques have had their planning permission refused on the basis that it might offend non Mosque affiliated religions?

If you like computer animation then look at this site specifically jebsjobs

This short movie had me in hysterics as one of my jobs was at ITN in Facilities Maintenance and when the name was changed, in Studio Support.

Nick Forshaw at Weakend Productions is a very clever man.
His animations have appeared on TV and though his site makes the claim "Not as good as Pixar", his work is as technically superb on a fraction of the budget.

His take off of "The Crazy Frog" is sheer genius AND you can have a free download for your mobile phone.

If you visit the site and enjoy what you see, drop him a mail and tell him.
