  1. It's just such great marketing.

    The CTC rag, whatever it's now called -- you know, the thing that isn't
    called anything you used ot think it was called any more -- arrived this
    morning with a flyer for someone (sorry, I've given it to a colleague
    with a sense of humour) advertising the sorts of things you wouldn't want.

    I always used to think that the one virtue of darts was that it taught
    the masses to do subtraction (and if you can do subtraction you can do
    addition by subtracting twice...). It had an electronic dart board that
    does the arithmetic for you and works out what you have to throw to win.
    What is the point?

    Ah, yes, the point. It was the underseat "bomb bag". "Code BOMB".
    I ask you. I mean, I'm going to be picked up just for posting this,
    never mind for sending it to Private Eye.

    So I won't.

    It must be some sort of Indian food container.

    You do realise the computers in a large listening base in North Yorks have
    just whirred into action don't you? ;-) You'll be visited by the "Men in
    Black" soon.

    I'm quite confident that uk.rec.cycling has already thrown up so many
    false positives that it's in Echelon's killfile. ;-)

    That must be why the police were rather pointlessly stopping and
    searching all pedestrians and cyclists on the Forth Road Bridge a
    few weeks ago, while ignoring those in motorised vehicles who would
    not be clever enough to order a bomb bag.

    I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
    prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

    Erm, Cheltenham for wired communication. I was approached by them with a
    view to employing me once.

    Wasn't part of the purpose for Echelon that the US would monitor UK
    citizens and vice versa to get around requirements for court orders
    etc. to allow eavesdropping on the citizens of their own countries.
