I'm Blown Out Of The Water By This

The boat, being anchored by a World War 11 bomb


During a routine patrol of a small Malaysian fishing village, local police made the shocking discovery that a local fisherman was using a World War 11 bomb to anchor his vessel. Because of its age the fisherman had been using the bomb for several months, thinking it was safe. The bomb squad were alerted and removed the 160mm device to be destroyed. Acting on information provided by the fishermen, police discovered eight similar bombs. The bombs about the size of a fire extinguisher were found behind a restaurant in the village. Abdul Aziz Ahmad, local chief of police, said "Unless the bombs are destroyed, they are considered still active and very dangerous". He then cited a deadly incident in Johor on February 27 when two men died and a woman seriously injured after they tried to salvage metal from an old bomb.

Mandelson Custard Attack

I find the story of the green activist who threw green custard over Business Secretary, Peter Mandelson, quite disturbing. In this day and age of gun and knife crime, not to mention terrorist activity, it is frightening to think that our politicians are vulnerable to this kind of attack. I would defend any one's right to protest, but there are ways of doing it properly. An assault on another individual is not an acceptable way of making your point.
