My words fail me as to the stupidity of this prank. I thought that "The Troll Station" was bad... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uW7YSWGeFQg I do question if it even possible to be this stupid. Surely it must be fake? Anyone else have any other instances of people winning stupid prizes?

I need some help with my PADI membership if anyone can help? I'm intending to dive in Belize in December and I need to get some sort of proof that I completed my Advanced Open Water (which I completed in 2004). I tried logging onto the PADI forum but it asks for a PADI membership number, however the centre I did it with told me that I don't have a membership number because that is reserved for pro level of Dive Master and above. So, how do I go about getting proof of my qualification? Thanks.

I've been watching a few decent documentaries recently on the BBC, one of which was about the railways in Mumbai. I couldn't help noticing that the producers saw fit to subtitle several different (Indian) people who were speaking perfectly good English. Whilst those concerned had a relatively strong accent they were still perfectly easy to understand. I find it quite insulting, to be honest, and the BBC never seem to subtitle any "white British" people who have very strong accents and who arguably might be just as hard to understand..... I've never seen a Glaswegian subtitled to be honest and I find strong Glaswegian accents hard to follow. It's not just this week, thou…

The Government are considering giving the Armed Forces exemptions to the Human Rights Act, the question I would ask is: Do people think that the Armed Forces deserve less protection than the rest of the population, bearing in mind that military forces are subject to English law regardless of where they are in the world? Should this be applied, could it not also transfer to the Police and other emergency services, keeping in mind the amount of recent articles in the press regarding officers injured in the course of their duties, who have subsequently received large payouts in compensation?
