    the whole 'big brother watch' is beginning to bug me, who watches them?
    Who watches the watchmen?
    Who watches those that watch the watchmen?
    Apparently: "doing a WHOIS lookup on their domain, it is owned by the Tax Payers' Alliance"
    Interesting...

    This is the same "Tax Payers' Alliance" which is trying to tell us that using speed cameras has slowed the rate of reduction in casualty numbers. There is no logic in their "statistical analysis" is some what suspect, as every student is taught when they are introduced to stats, "correlation is not causation" all speed cameras do is catch drivers who are breaking the speed limits. There is no evidence that speed cameras cause drivers to drive in a more dangerous manner.

    I think the Pirate thing is only revealed to those of us who have been Touched by His Noodly Appendage.

    @spytfyre Aye there is another abuse, putting up data without context , especially where the context is so entertaining ;-)

    Next the Tax Payers' Alliance will be telling us the Flying Spaghetti Monster is spying on us with CCTV...

    SO nice to see Juvenal being quoted here, good to know that the classics are not dead.
