I. Don't. Care. Go away Dubya. You're not welcome here.

George W. Bush (America's first Simian President) is to visit the UK next month. I am away for most of that trip so I'll say here and now that I don't care.

What I do know is that his gas-guzzling entourage of cars, motorcycles, SUV's, ambulance's, hummer's, helicopters, tanks and jet aircraft are going to bollix up the traffic in London for ordinary Londoners. We'll have hundreds of wire-infested SS muppets wandering around talking into their sleeves and generally giving us Londoners a thoroughly hard time.

I look forward to a protest while he is here. Perhaps a good egging is in order or a flying penis? Perhaps not, no-one would be able to tell the difference.

US to redesign banknotes for blind

About blooming time too! I've said that there was a problem with the US bank notes for ages. How do blind people there tell a $1 bill from a $100 or even a $1000?

Seems like I wasn't alone as the American Council for the Blind has just won a court ruling which, if it succeeds (and I'm pretty sure there's a lot more work for the lawyers here) will force America to make changes to their currency. Mind you, with their current currency problems they'll probably need to design and print higher denominations soon enough anyway!
