The Bees - Sunshine Hit Me

Just found out some more things that I missed out on over the last few days.

• Bobby Robson being replaced at Newcastle (I wrongly thought that he was loved up there)
• England not doing very well against Austria

Also realised I'd not emailed Stubbs for ages, so fired one off this morning. How neglectful I've become.

It seems like the worst isn't over for the Floridians - after the second hurricane Frances turned round for a second go, it appears that another one, Ivan, is waiting in the wings to add to the misery.




James Bond technology is far to available to the general public these days!

Doc sums up the whole Russian school tragedy very well

In Beslan, the bad guys didn't just kill civilians. They killed children. Worse, they apparently carefully planned killing children they knew.

With the 911 attacks, Al Qaeda attacked symbols. Killing innocents was part of the plan, but not the whole purpose. Planes full of innocents were flown into highly symbolic buildings.

Now, in Russia, killing the most innocent of the innocent, the most loved, is a strategy put to practice.

Of course, it's been a strategy elsewhere for some time. It's not new. But I sense with this horrifying event some kind of corner has been turned. This wasn't a bus, a plane, or even a crowded market. It was a school: a place that embodies a society's care and love for its children.
