Keep track of the D-Notice...
Firstly, the Hindu Times.
Secondly - strangely, another Indian newspaper.
Google search: here.
And for those who like their news with a little Hollinger spin: go here.

Well, Well. Looky what we have here...
Firstly, apologies for the extended absence. It would seem the ghost of Ronnie Raygun is still inhabiting the White House. His classic 'We start bombing Russia in 5 minutes' has been (it has been alledged) updated by the Rev Dubya (from the Church of Voting Rigging War-Mongering Psychopath).
And as his loyal poodle, Our Tone has D-noticed any reference in the media to the FACT THAT GEORGE BUSH SAID HE WAS GOING TO BOMB AL-JAZEERA.
Since when do we have to pander to the insane media control of the U.S.? Well, of course the obvious answer is 'ever since Thatcher, and her new incarnation, Anthony Blair'.
But this is truly crazy.
Boris Johnson has promised to publish the document, if it comes into his possession, and you can bet your cinammon buns that it'll be here as well.
Watch this space.

The Curse Of Leerdammer Strikes!
Well, well. Poor old David. Ooops, my hypocrasy-o-meter just went off the scale.

Oh - Do please just GO!
Can we please be rid of this fucking fool? Does he have to shoot someone in order for Bliar to no longer support him?

Blind Cherry Pie
No, it's not a lesser-known Delta Blues Man, having to relocate from a submerged New Orleans, it's a cheap dig at that arrogant son-of-a-windowdresser David "Would You Like To Touch My Stick?" Blunkett. Lees than sure in my own mind how on earth he does it, it would seem our David has obviously significantly more charm with 'the ladies' than that which he usually displays when in conversation with the media.
Perhaps it's the dog, girls love the dog...
Well, let's face it, it couldn't be anything to do with honesty or decency now, could it? Or, god forbid, paranoia?

Like a rolling BORE!!!!!!
Would someone just please shoot Bob Dylan now, so we can get it over with, get the tributes out of the way, and forget all about him.
He was never, and will never be, as good as The Beatles.
All the current BBC Arselikhan 'films' by directors (who are now so past their prime it's laughable) are driving me up the feckin' wall.
At least sometimes I find a glimmer of hope out there in the dark.

The True Face of Evil
Forget Lucifer - she's already here!
Poor old Philip Hayton, being teamed up with grimacing gorgon Kate Silverton. It's all become too much for him, and he is no longer the 'Man from Aunty', having quit after 37 years with the Beeb. A sad day.
Now, it would seem we are left with yet another Sophie Wrayworth buffoon-a-like.
Anyhow, coke-snorting mediaslag, sorry - agent Alex Armitage (head of the Noel Gay Artists outfit) has leapt to the defence of his clueless talking head Silverton, saying typically unspecific, yet barbed words suggested the problem lies with Hayton.
Lest we forget, Noel Gay Artists also represents: Richard Littlejohn (oh my god), Rod Little (well...), and, of course everyone's favourite 'Today' programme presenter - Sarah Montague; For that last one alone they should be doused in kerosene and made to rub themselves on Charles Clarke.

But is it Art? Answer: No!
If you have 40-odd seconds to waste - take a look at this.
"I grasp daily for what I pretend are certain tangabilities in my life, grasping, and always I am surprised"
What a load of film-student-up-my-own-arse pretentious old toss.
In his Vlog's 'Statement' Shannon Noble (do you think he might be a yank?) notes that "I have the potential to pontificate endlessly".
Perhaps he should get his head out of his rear end and get a ruddy job. I rather suspect he is trying to set himself up for a career in advertising, though (in his dreams, more like).
Quote of the decade: "My pretentious nature shines like the waxy surfaces in a car commercial."
Quite. But one which you are unlikely to direct in the near future, you knob.

T-Mobile - Liars & Providers of Shoddy Service
Well, it would seem that the jolly chaps over at T-Mobile are a big bunch of liars. Kieren McCarthy was nearly stung by them in their wonderful attempt at obfuscating the non-service they offer in terms of sending and receiving email from one's (his) mobile phone. I suspect he is not alone on this.
They cunningly use a lot of back chat and delaying tactics to make sure you exceed your '7 days to cancel' cooling off period, so that you are locked into the good ol' 12 month contract.
Kieren, luckily is a smart and persistant kind of guy, and managed to get them to fess up to their services' lamentable shortcomings.
The transcript (and an MP3 recording of the conversation are available here.
As may be evident from my tone, I'm not the biggest fan of T-Mobile, and think their customer service veers between crap and diabolical (on a good day).
My lovely other half recently tried to get an upgrade through them to a more 'Business Usage' friendly kind of tariff, and ended up having her contract cancelled by T-Mobile, apparantly on some whim of one of their internal divisions. She was only informed of this when she rang to enquire where her new phone was. Superb.
For myself, I tried to get a new phone out of them earlier on this year, and when (due to no fault of my own whatsoever) the phone was stolen before it even got to me, T-Mobile claimed that in order for me to get another phone, I would have to pay the £200 for the old one. Naturally, I refused, and asked to get a PAC number to take my custom to another network. Once again, they said I'd need to settle the 'outstanding' £200 on the account before they could do this. Just to re-iterate, this was for a phone I had never received. Cool, eh?
7 weeks later (!), I managed to get them to cave in, and at this point took my custom to a slightly more reliable service provider, where I have been realiably informed that 'The future is bright'. Enough clues?
Added to this, the new chav-friendly ad campaigns ('Mates Rates' - oh please....)that T-Nobile (intentional) are running, it seems pretty clear to me that as a telecom provider they should be avoided at all costs - those costs mainly being shouldered by oneself.
Avoid!!!!

Introducing the Beyond Journalists
Moving Right Along - (Yes, the pun is intentional.) Here's the first two.
Rick Moran (No, I'm not going to do the obvious joke), a 'beyond journalist' for the Thinker has his own little blog, bless him. It's called Rightwing Nuthouse. And, no, I'm not linking to it. He's on the dole, though, but a "rabble rouser" (his words, not mine) all the same. Well, that's nice.
He has some great connections and writing credits, though. Rush Limbaugh amongst them (not linking to him either, ferchrissakes - oxygen of publicity, and all that)
Richard Baehr - He's a real gem. He is a member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, former Education Director of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of Illinois. A real rennaisance man. Don't criticise him, though, or you'll be labelled a fascist.
