Perennial crooner Bob Dylan, whose last album shot straight to the top of both the UK and US album charts, looks set to become one of the voices on satnav systems. Other eminent GPS voices include Mr T, John Cleese, Kim Catrall, Homer Simpson and Alan Partridge. Wonder why no Katie Price on the list? Probably keep changing her mind.
Beggar’s belief
Meanwhile, down under, Ken Johnson makes $400 on a good day and between $75 aqnd $150 on slower days. Not bad for someone who is homeless!….Article…And does nothing more than beg!!
Always be on your guard
Popular internet search terms are invariably the target of spammers, hackers, phishermen and worm spreaders, with similar or look-alike sites or pages being set up to try and catch the unwary. These ‘dodgy’ sites may contain trojans, worms, malaware or other unwanted items.
One letter can make all the difference
Thank you to those who pointed that in yesterday’s piece Offenders to have it cut off, the question: Why is the unelected Mandy, several times shamed and involved in shady deals, having any say whatsoever in the running of a country? should probably have read: Why is the unelected Mandy, several times shamed and involved in shady deals, having any …

If it didn’t cost so much you’d have to laugh
Government quangos have once again been busy wasting taxpayer money to come up with more phrases they consider should be ‘banned’ under the pretext of political correctness in order to avoid possible offence.
Prince of Gaffes
There are those upon whom one can always rely to periodically insert their feet into their mouths and provide us with a good laugh.

The spectators were expecting …
