  1. Have a guess who BeHIT hired to front their annual charity bash? Let
    me see: exaggeration, outright fabrications, deliberate attempts to
    mislead Parliament - yes, their choice of Jeffrey Archer was strangely
    appropriate!

    I think "outright fabrications" is putting it a bit mildly. How about
    "convicted perjurer"?

    I was referring to BeHIT - Archole is the only speaker they could have
    found who is a bigger liar than they are :-)

    Has there been any news report or web link to the recent BeHit shindig you
    mentioned?
    I haven't seen anything yet.

    It was in the Reading Chronic. Probably of no interest to anyone
    else. Or indeed Reading.

    I was wondering whether they had wheeled out the Annetts case again in which
    case my local rags are likely to be covering it.

    Oh yes - BHIT and find out if your hamlet really does save your life. To be,
    or not to be? That is the question.

    It's somewhat amusing, following Ian Walker's recent research, that the
    organisation that promotes the mandatory wearing of helmets is
    appropriately called Be Hit!

    You would have thought that the Reading local paper would have a more
    imaginative name. 'The Reading Age', or something?
