And you think flying's safe....


 It's the 7th of January and there has been 4 air accidents since the new year, none of which you'll have seen mentioned on the news (unless your lucky) Indeed there were 2 on Christmas eve that didn't get mentioned either....  So if your flying anywhere this year remember, it's only the big accidents at big airports you'll see on the news.
 And if you are flying, please use a plane, that flapping knackers your arms...

More design fails...


 I've got brand new boots with the laces going already, I've got a washing machine that dislikes taking in water, I've still got bloody shampoo bottles that fall over all the time because they are top heavy and have to stand on uneven sides of a bath.  Don't even get me started on energy saving light bulbs that are supposed to last a million years but last a week, I have door that wont stay open or bloody closed, I've got remote controls that only work a few feet from the telly... the clue is in the word remote...
 Then there's carrier bag and rubbish bags so thin stuff falls through,  food packets you need a plasma cutter to open, non ring pull tins, why?, the ring pulls been around years!
 Seriously though why is it so impossible to actually design and make these things properly, I mean really how hard can it be to make a shampoo bottle heavier at the bloody bottom instead of heavier at the top.
 There's a challenge for Lord Sugar and the Apprentice team, actually make something to work properly, just for once... Please!!!

Sherlock


 The 2015 ? Christmas special has just finished and I have to say it was quite good... However I had sussed who the murderer was from pretty early on and why the murders where being committed, less obvious was why Moriarty was in it, and why the story jumped back and fro in time.  It was like a confusing episode of Doctor Who.
 And another thing, I thought the Beeb were not supposed to use the name Sherlock Holmes any more after a lawsuit?
 Being honest I think having it set in the 1880's is far better, it's as the books were written for a start, all the high tech nonsense just spoils it.
