http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-13481924 I absolutely agree with the Israeli position on this. As far as I'm concerned Israel won this territory in a war that they were provoked into.

The senate's top waste watcher is demanding to know how people who live their lives as 'adult babies' are able to claim disability payments.

According to the Washington Times, in a letter to Inspector…

I have a massive list of my own but Is there any news stories that spring to mind? It's not just going to be a collection of videos/images of the news stories it will be more than that.

We know Gerald wanted to be filmed and BBC1 wanted to film him but should Gerald dying be shown on television?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/may/18/david-cameron-urged-sack-kenneth-clarke-rape I don't agree with the government planning to increase the maximum discount for an early guilty plea for rapists from 33% to 50%. But I think Clarke's comments have been taken out of context. "Asked whether he thought "date rape" did not count as a "serious" offence, he said: "Date rape can be as serious as the worst rapes, but date rapes, in my very old experience of being in trials, vary extraordinarily one from another and in the end the judge has to decide on the circumstances."" I think this is the fairer quote of all. Clarke gave an honest answer, which is perfectly valid.…

Taken from their press release : http://garmin.blogs....d-traffic-.html Are these people insane? Some people are already distracted by these things and do stupid things like stick them into the middle of the windscreen so they can't see where they are going and now Garmin goes on better. Live traffic cams so instead of looking at what's 100m in front of you, you can look at what's happening at the next junction (as you plough into the car in front that has slowed due to the traffic buildup you are watching the front of).

Seems the old submarine service are not having the best of times at the moment...
