BBC thinks what happened to Anne Franck to be most amusing

The BBC have a radio programme called "The Unbelievable Truth". It's a panel game-show and is classed by the BBC as comedy. Team players are asked to judge unlikely, amusing and quirky statements as to whether they are true or not.

On last night's show (26 October 2009, 6:30pm) by way of a lead in to the programme, the programme's chairman gave various examples of such "statements". One example he gave of an untrue statement is that the last entry in Anne Franck's diary is about her father giving her a set of drums. The studio audience laughed - presumably at the thought of Anne Franck leading herself to the gas chamber by having hit the drums and alerting the Nazis to her hiding place. Silly girl.

I could not believe my ears - I still cannot believe it. Is the BBC staffed with of such a bunch of ignorance, vulgar and insensitive cretins? They seem to have learnt nothing from the Jonathan Ross affair.

Kevan Jones MP

Read this and then view the man! Jones is typical of the little shits that are today's British politicians.

Yahoo is now utterly, utterly hopeless!

When Yahoo first started, way back in the early 1990s, I was an enthusiastic user. They had some excellent facilities. I particularly liked Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Briefcase and links to Palm software - and my very first web site was on Geocities.

Since that time the company has steadily gone downhill. It cannot decide whether it's a web portal, a search engine or a social networking site. Consequently it is none of those things. Yahoo mail is now so slow as to be unusable and all the better facilities have been withdrawn, leaving us with total rubbish. The latest to go is Geocities.

Whatever Yahoo's CEO is smoking, it is not medicine!

Sir John Sawers and Facebook

For those readers who do not know of Sir John Sawers, he is the new head of MI6, the British "secret" intelligence service. Sir John's profile, details, bio or whatever the hell its called has had to be removed from Facebook (story here) for security. I had always thought only kids, celebs, media wonks or total morons actually had Facebook accounts. It appears not to be so. How sad.
