Random Musings - Day #253

I was just about to say, have a look at the Pub in the Park festival. But it looks like organisers have cancelled it. BTW I am not sure what pubinthepark.co.uk is all about...

What's happening to these guys...
I read recently that former UK #1 artist, Sonique has had treatment for breast cancer. Also Phil Collins spinal injury has finished his career as a drummer.

Random Musings - Day #149

Britain's got last semi
I just finished watching the last semi-final heat. I was looking forward to seeing the break-dance kid, Aidan Davis and wasn't disappointed. If it wasn't for Susan Boyle's popularity he would be favourite to win the final. Also the comparisons between him and last year's winner George Sampson may stop him.
Boyle is courting controversy particularly with her recent outburst which made her sound like Rab C Nesbitt.
The other qualifier was wee Hollie Steel who actually broke down during her performance. But she got to have a second crack and did well. She got through the judge's vote, which wasn't surprising and considering what happen to fellow contestant Natalie Okri...

The final, for what it's worth, this is how I think it might finish...
1. Aidan Davis
2. Susan Boyle
3. Stravos Flatley

Mascot cheeky jab

Thyroid Cancer
Shame to hear that BBC's Clare Balding has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Those of you who know, a family member recently had that and is still need precautionary treatment. It's no laughing matter. So I wish Clare well.

M&S Bra
They have been selling well of late due massive billboard posters of an ample woman with a green bra. The woman in question has been revealed as Natalie Suliman. This campaign has been compared to the 'hello boys' wonderbra poster from 1994.

Computer bits
Here's a list of IP Numbers which relate to the transport layer protocol which of course the popular TCP and UDP. And for those of you who might forget how to unzip and untar a compressed tarball...
