This aptly named pony (Fat Boy) got more than he bargained after gorging on apples which had fermented on the ground, probably having difficulty walking (a known side effect of cider drinking that I have experienced) he fell into a swimming pool.
Scientific “proof” that surfing the Internet is good for the brain in older people can be found here.
Some more good news for red squirrels, it appears that some of them are developing immunity to the virus which has been wiping them out. Now that is a line of research that Red Squirrel beer could fund to good effect.
Big Brother came another step closer yesterday, why the government feels that it is best placed to store data on dates and times of calls, emails websites visited is beyond me. ISPs and phone companies are required to store the data for 12 months and will supply the data to police/security services on request and this system enabled the convictions to which the Home Secretary referred.
In order to comply with the EU directive the cheapest option would be to double the 12 months to 24 – but then there would continue to be an external audit trail of information requests. Call me cynical but I cannot think of any other reason for this ludicrous “plan”.
To prove the point read this story from earlier this year which reveals that there are more than 600 public bodies in this country which already have the powers to monitor communications.

Fat Boy looks a bit sloshed in that photo. He has that drunken look we all get. Too funny. (When I was young I remember watching a wildlife program--usually found it boring--one night they showed a bunch of animals drunk on a fruit...I never laughed so hard.
If surfing the web and such is good for the brain, I'm going to have one, huge brain! Yeeee haaa!
rt, One sorry looking pony indeed!
