Oh dear

the Clangers lived on a small blue planet and not the moon.

The real concern is the ejected blue cheese which could cause major disruption to global transport systems and severe confusion in the fromage producing regions of northern France

Please do pay attention at the back.

May I be the first

to give a sincere and utterly grovelling welcome our new carbon based overlords.

Just in time

to replace most of the current inhabitants of the Palace of Westminister.

Yeah right.

So what

exactly was on there that the IWF didn't like?

flying killer drones operating overseas by remote control

Why not just let the ordinary X-Box players do the dirty work - a highly skilled self motivated workforce like that would save a fortune in training.

the patient would be discharged

No, sorry I will resist...........

11 per cent of Australia’s total emissions

so presumably the other 89% is Fosters related.

Paris because she is responsible for many emissions

@disguised as a member of a mime troupe

Must give it a try when I fly out this evening.

He missed

the 'Have a nice day' from the sig.

something more modern

You mean there has been an upgrade?

Lots of info on aliens at the moment

Are we being softened up for an important announcement?

This should be fun

when used in the new microwave security scanners.....

So

...no more beefburgers with your pint for you lot at Reg central then.

What I like to see......

.......a liberal (with due apologises to all red necks) sprinkling of awesomes.

Paris because its her day.

Paranoia Levels

In that case maybe the Rumsfeld (being 10 Blunketts) might be a good starting point.

Castro is gone but ...

"The Home Secretary's interview with Today can be found here. Smith's interview starts about the 12:00 minute mark and her comment on database security for the National ID Cards project can be found after the 18:20 mark."

New Labour is obviously in serious contention with a 6 hour 20 minute plus interview.

mission seems to have achieved its aim

Hmmmmm. The press report cant possibly be genuine - there's not a single use of the word awesome.

Yes

but it's our dirty bomb.

"One answer might be to fire ......

.....one of the Missile Defence Agency's (MDA) Ground-Based Mid-course Interceptor rockets at the errant sky-spy."

Or they could ask those nice Chinese chappies (and chappesses) to do it for them with their proven anti-sat clobbering gizmo.

Great fleas....

..... have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum

You mean...

.....these chappies (and chapesses) are not using flags and mirrors anymore?

Just not cricket y'know.

Just remember

that the diversion major roadworks outside (insert your favorite hold up) may not have actually made it to the on car database.

For sale...

'and he has sold this corporate data, including information on weapons systems, to about 250 buyers through the internet.'

That's the real joy of the 'Buy it now' button on eBay. Much easier (but less fun) than the old smokey bars and turned up collars.

I know...

lets introduce a compulsory ID card system to ensure that kiddies can't buy forbidden goodies using a card that should have been checked by the supplier who sold it to said kiddie.

I suspect

that the answer to this is report can best be summerised as being spherical and in the plural.

Pizza home delivery

does work out there after all then.

Dr Strangelove

is alive and kicking it seems.

"abandoning consensus decision making so fast action can be taken"

Presumably before the sane decision makers can finish their scrambled eggs and switch off the launch gear.

It's all a joke really

isn't it?

Tell me so, then we can all wake up happy in the morning and have a laugh along with those hilarious guys and gals who like to teaze us by just pretending that our data is insecure...........................

Hmmm

a sphere made of this stuff could be interesting, especially when left out in the sun.

Obvious question now

is 'How many Americans does it take to change a lightbulb?'

How long

before someone sees the togerless version of themselves, decides they are therefore deformed and undertakes DIY surgery to correct the problem?

equipment and furniture, rather than MPs and Peers

Ah so they've found Lord Lucan then.

But.....

....surely the information that the procedures are restricted must also be covered by a security restriction.

Security alert

But is it correctly encrypted?

Going cheep...

He can have my company for a cut price 25M any day.
