Morally if it's OK for major corporations to outsource jobs to China/Poland/Sub-continent (& me to benefit as a shareholder..) I cannot why the worker should not likewise. Workers of the world outsource!!!

Wish I'd thought of it....

Lucky the lad was not cradling the ball in his groin. Could have been even more painful.

I wondered why I no longer find Fawlty Towers funny. It turns out the BBC have edited out the politically incorrect bits.

Richard Littlejohn muses what it would be like if the BBC recommissioned it nowadays:

Watched the whole video! I can concur, I am glad I do not try to drive in Russia. The number of wheels that seemed to come off lorrys/cars was quite scary!

Year ago I remember that Friday feeling turning onto the A3 at Roehampton and it opened up to 3 lanes and you think Yeah it's the weekend.. only to be subjected to the wheels of death in a Mad Max scene.

A car, a tarted up old something, had those clip on wheel covers which under speed just span off and span and bounced all over the place hitting cars and ricocheting about. It was then followed by his front wheel and him pirouetting off into the banking.

I managed to get through this unscathed and sped off home -- it was the weekend after all.
