I remember when he was going to burn the book, a car dealer offered him a brand new Daewoo not to - and he flew from Florida to the dealer in question in New Jersey and then drove the car back to Florida.

Madness.

Flicked onto BBC News, and one of the two most disliked Colonels in the world (alongside Ken Bates of KFC fame) has praised China's response to Tiananmen Square, saying that all protest amounts to armed rebellion, and that he intends to follow their lead.

Bearing in mind that even the likes of Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong-il deny their atrocities, that has surely got to be a contender for the most shocking statement by a head of state in relation to his own people since the advent of colour telly.

For stopping the migration fraud United State government had take a huge decision. US government has planned to integrate U.S. passports with RF (radio frequency) chips in starting of this summer. But because of this decision they have facing huge resistance from various groups of travel who says that the technology is untested and may create a hazard passenger safety.

Actually these chips are very small in size and light weighted. It is based on embedded technology. These types of embedded chips are designed to make passports work like employee ID cards that can be transmitted over an electronic reader. This electronic reader has read the basic information about the employee to access in a building. Official State Department said that the new technology known as radio frequency identification, or RFID, will give Customs officers to quickly process passengers at airports and borders. Passports should be issued to diplomats, from August, and the program would expand to applicants for new passports by next year.

Foreign Ministry officials of United State said that the chips are part of the global effort to prevent immigration fraud or passport fraud. Each chip contains a Hi-Tech digital recording system which is saved all the basic information of passport holder like holder's name, address and number, his/her identity etc . These chips are also contains a photograph of the holder which is used in his/her passport. It is just because of to improve facial recognition technology. Therefore, even if the paper passport is damaged or lost, customs agents are could be able to identify the person or modified to compare the data circuit to the person.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
