Interesting links for 19 Nov 2010 - 07 Feb 2011:

• Another TSA Outrage - "This might be a good time to remind everyone that approximately 233 people re-boarded that plane with assault rifles, pistols, and machine guns - but nothing that could have been used as a weapon." - I'm glad the UK border police haven't reached these levels of stupidity.
• Pothole repair, South African style - What a great, quick, efficient and cost-effective way to repair potholes. Now who's going to sell this to the UK - our roads are terrible after all the snow.
• The World is sinking: Dubai islands 'falling into the sea' - Well, that's hardly a surprise. Just as well they haven't developed on all the island yet else they'll be disappearing into the ocean too.
• BBC bans the word 'reform' in debate over voting reform - News, TV & Radio - The Independent - Huh? What? Oh ok, if you insist. We'll call it "that thing" instead. Good for you?
