Cars to be started by lasers instead of spark plugs. Surprised it's taken so long to develop.

Iran 'linked' to Iraqi group holding British hostages. No s**t.

Dresden zoo forced to rename primate called 'Obama'. I pity the poor creature who had to live with the name Obama.

Britain's transport system braced for £30 billion funding shortfall. Another failure from Labour.

Generals rebuffed in plea for more Helmand forces. This could be the thing that brings down Labour.

Brown banned ‘swine flu’ aide from G8 summit. A spot of swine flu amongst that lot would have done us all a favour.

El NiƱo is back, bringing droughts, floods, crop failures and social unrest. And it will be blamed on global warming.

Government honours veterans of Bletchley Park at last. About time.

British Army vehicles must withstand Taleban test in Afghanistan. First we have to get them out there.

Now the Times is joining in the "lets make things up" club:

In the "Display of US Military Hardware" article, the writer states that the Sea Stallion & Sea Knight helicopters are versions of the Chinook.
The Sea Stallion (CH-53) & Sea Knight (CH-46) are most assuredly NOT versions of the CH-47 Chinook.
The Sea Stallion wasn't even made by Boeing......

This crap is irritating when it comes from the tabloids but inexcusable from what is supposed to be the "quality" press.
