Kinda a kick in the head, huh?It is a victory for victims’ families, who want to know whether the bombings could have been prevented had security services followed up on leads pointing to the unfolding plot....

"Harrods store sold to Qatari investors
LONDON — Mohamed Al Fayed, a flamboyant businessman who has controlled Harrods department store in London for a quarter-century, has sold the landmark business to Qatari investors, his financial advisers said yesterday. The sale price was not announced, but the BBC and Sky News reported that it was around $2.2 billion. Fayed, a native of Egypt, joined with his two brothers to buy Harrods in 1985. His son Dodi died with Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris in 1997 (AP)."

Stuff stinks; I used to work in a kitchen so I know.
Twitter service tweetalondoncab, which began in July, is being used by some cab drivers to find customers and avoid the fees of the cab circuit.
PFFFFFT!
Tweetalondoncab’s 40 cab drivers use their phones to post information of where fares can be found, such as recently finished concerts or exhibitions and receive requests from potential customers.
I guess I'll have to swim the Atlantic to make it home.
