"'Within faith schools we are still getting a message of anaesthetised hatred - 'we don't hate these people but they're not equal'. If that is said enough, it softens the brains of young people and that's so dangerous. And it's a message echoed by sections of the press.'" - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

"I stepped between two glass walls and was subjected to what my police training would allow me to conclude was a procedural vacuum." - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

"Fifteen university students have been permanently scarred after branding themselves with heated coat hangers. The group from the University of Exeter branded their chests with the initial of the halls they lived in last year." - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

If this is in any way related to that bloody Jan Moir article I feel I may have to burn down the Dail Mail's printing presses. They did pick the wrong poof though... - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

Have a read of some of these comments, they're just fricking unbelievable. I mean things like: "why do we test for antibodies and not the virus itself? BECAUSE THE VIRUS DOESN'T EXIST!" - no you moron, it's because antibody testing is fast, cheap and reliable. These people make me beyond mad. - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

I'm sure this will make for an even more impartial FIA. - Alex Lomas

Jandy: duh, you just made me realize that, in fact, my home feed does not contain my whole Twitter stream, but only the tweets from those I also follow on FF. Thanks for the heads up! - Colin Surprenant

"I told him that I really couldn't care less whether passengers were carrying pointy objects onto my plane. "Shouldn't you be looking for bombs instead?" I asked. He wasn't impressed. "Why?" he wanted to know. "What do you mean, why?" "Weren't no bombs that knocked down the World Trade Center," he replied. "It was those knife things..." "Box cutters," affirmed his colleague, sitting to one side and staring languidly at her monitor. "That's what I'm looking for."" - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

"Come and be involved in my nationwide experiment, and be part of The Events. Yesterday evening, a curator of London’s famous Science Museum drew a picture in secret, wrapped it up in newspaper and placed it in the museum on display. No-one but she knows what it is. Until next Thursday, 3rd Sept, this picture will remain on display for any of you who wish to take part, to come and look at the wrapped-up picture and attempt to sense what the image is. The only limitation placed on the curator is that she was to draw some ’simple design’, to make the image relatively straightforward. If you would like to take part in this experiment into psychic ability which will form part of one of The Events, please visit the Science Museum and follow the signs to the picture. Good luck! Your guesses will be shown on TV in September." - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

"Nearly ten years ago, the Medical Board of California had placed him on 10 year’s probation and required him to have a chaperone present during medical examinations after he had ‘inappropriate sexual contact with a 15 year old male patient’. In his defence he said that “the penis was most accurately measured while erect.” Unfortunately, the measurement continued “until he ejaculated”." - Alex Lomas from Bookmarklet

"The human is one of the world's most widespread species, and is present on all continents. After a gestation period of nine months, the young usually live in the parents' nest for around 16 years. While the parents are out foraging for food, juveniles are looked after in large groups by other adults. In adolescence, the offspring adopt a more nocturnal lifestyle and engage in ritualized activities of drinking fermented liquids and dancing to rhythmical sounds, which scientists believe may help them find a mate. Humans usually pair for life, retiring from most social activity and moving into brick and concrete nests once a partner is found. Pairs produce an average of 2 young. They are known to adopt other species as pets, particularly dogs (canis lupus familiaris) and cats (felis catus). The human diet is very adaptable to regional crop varieties and personal taste, with some groups able to live almost exclusively on chipped potatoes and sugary drinks. Groups of humans are often fed... more... - April Buchheit

This is a 30s Jubilee train running through my home station of Canada Water :) This is probably the last time they'll run - unfortunately I didn't get a ticket to go on this run or theone that stopped in the disused Jubilee sidings at Charing Cross. - Alex Lomas

I've heard of GPS dongles for cameras, but am interested in the "cheap" way to go: create a GPS track w/my iPhone and sync the info with my pictures when I'm at home on my computer... Anyone got any foolproof instructions for me to follow? - Cheryl Jones

Today I generated a GPS track with the RunKeeper Free app on my iPhone, and was able to sync the track up to a few pictures I took using GPicSync. It worked pretty well, actually. I will try again with one of those little GPS pucks to see how well it works, too. - Cheryl Jones

it's been borked for a while for me, I never could get it working again after it stopped. - Bill Kinney

Which camera is this? - Tony Ruscoe

@Tony The HD video quality is about the same on the 100 & 110 (amazed you can do some on camera editing of video too!). There's a rubbish sample at http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Alex Lomas

This will also include pictures :) - Benjamin Golub
