Whilst browsing around the net earlier, I stumbled upon this site, FlightAware, which tracks flights that are currently moving within and across the US. It can plot arrivals and departures from any airport and you can see where flights are going. What is very interesting and well worth a look is the movie tracking all flights over a 24 hour period, located here.

serbian signature
My signature in the previous post was taken from Wikiquote, a sister site to Wikipedia. The entry reads:-
Cyrillic: Где ти много обећавају, малу торбу понеси.
Latin: Gde ti mnogo obećavaju, malu torbu ponesi.
Translation: Where people are promising much to you, bring a small bag. (Similar to There is no free lunch.)

milosevic dies of heart failure
Slobodan Milošević (Слободан Милошевић in Serbian), the former Serbian president who was in prison in The Netherlands awaiting trial for genocide, died on Saturday. The BBC News website, pictured left, states that he died of heart failure. I was just wondering what else one can die of apart from a failed heart?

the aussies hit a record score - and lose
This morning in the final ODI between Australia and South Africa, Australia scored 434 runs for the loss of 4 wickets, the highest ever score in a one day match. They also became the first team to score more than 400 runs in an international 50 over match.
After the mid session interval, the South African batsman came out to the pitch and hit 438 runs for the loss of 9 wickets - thus meaning that they beat the Australians and posted the new highest score in a one day international.

the rules by men
We always hear the rules from women, so now here are the rules from the men.
These are our rules!
Please note - these are all numbered "1" on purpose!
1. Men are not mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it
down. We need it up, you need it down. Compromise! You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let
it be.
1. Shopping is not a sport. For your information, no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one - subtle hints do not work and strong hints do not work and obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and no are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem, so go and see a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect
us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
1. Don't be offended if you ask us if you are fat and we say yes - honesty is the best policy after all.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways
makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or you can tell us how you want it done.
Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. All men see in only 16 colours, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a colour. Pumpkin is a vegetable. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing", we will believe you. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape!
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but men
really don't mind that because it's like camping.

dalek bread?
Firstly I would like to apologise for the awful pun mentioned above, but I thought of it on the train in reference to the following story and wanted to share it.
Peter Kay, Bolton comedy genius, is to star as a villain in Dr Who, reports the BBC website. It sees him taking a more serious acting role, following his cameo in Coronation Street

four word film review
Over the weekend I was intoduced to a site called the four word film review. The title of the site sums up what it is fairly well - reviews of films in four words.
Included are such gems as
"Marlon Brando, hoarse whisperer" for The Godfather
"Boom in public transportation" for Speed
and
"Child smuggling ring discovered" for Lord of the Rings

tim's work boots
To the wag who commented on my barefootedness on the beat, the answer is no. I have a nice new pair of Magnums with fibreglass toecaps in, which I will be more than happy to demonstrate...

police community supporting
Hey hey!
Sorry for the lack of posts in the last few weeks but I have been doing my training as a Police Community Support Officer with the Metropolitan Police. I am currently 15 days into a 4.5 week training course and am really enjoying the work. I have spent the past few weeks learning different bits of the law, and now have a different view on life in London. I have received my appointment and as of 15th March, will be a PCSO at Paddington Green station, a high security station in the City of Westminster. The station is located on the Edgware Road, in an area that is made up partly of residential estates and partly of shops and businesses. The local area is predominantly Arabic, more specifically Lebanese, which could mean some interesting new cuisine will be experienced!
