And I may have found just the one.

Gawd bless Northampton General Hospital for their wonderful advice.

The lights are going out in Iceland this week so people can gaze at the night sky.

How very, erm, Scandinavian.

Tie the knot anywhere (apparently)

This is interesting from two angles… Firstly, Nokia are paying ‘experts’ to make recommendations for their new music service, and secondly they are still pushing to get us to start using the phone for anything other than making calls. The phone manufacturers and the telcos clearly need to differentiate themselves (hence Telco 2.0 and it’s ilk). The Sony W800 and Nokia N91 would love to be iPod killers. Is a recommendations service the way into that market?

As an aside, who would have thought that paying experts in their field for their opinion would be a good idea?

Customise your own StarWars merchandise. Unfortunately Lucas are still so sensitive about their brand that you can’t add your own text. Which rather ruins that plan that I had for a Chewbacca t-shirt…

India ask ICC to drop Hair

It was indeed inevitable that one of the Asian nations would ask the ICC to stop Hair standing in matches at the Champions Trophy. India, as hosts, were likely to be the ones to go first… It’s unlikely they’ll be the last.

It’s a serious problem that Google (and the other search engines) find every document on the web, whether it was intended to be public or not. There’s been a few reports recently about the use of manuals found online for nefarious purposes. The latest is this doozy - hacker uses online maual to reprogram an ATM to deliver $20 bills instead of fives… Sweet. I particularly like the fact it took 9 days for anyone to own up to the fact that they were getting 4 times the money.

Hmm… “I’m down to stand in the Champion’s Trophy“. Not if they’ve finished stitching you up like a kipper by then, mate. And it’s not like you don’t deserve it either…
