One for Brits of a certain age only I suspect. Er…Andy Capp from the Daily Mirror has his own brand of potato crisps (chips y’all) in the US? My flabber is gasted.

The Public Domain Photo Database is a great collection of thousands of public domain photos for commercial and private use. A very few have limited use restrictions, note. ‘Just keep in mind that if you put photos here you lose control of how they can be used.

How strange that no-one seems to have picked up on the fact that SD cards appear to suck battery power out of certain devices like a Hoover in a room full of talcum powder. I was first alerted to this by the fact that this ‘ere Siemens SX1 handset wot I am currently using has a standby time of some 12 hours or less with a 256MB MMC card inserted, and around 5 times that (or more) with nothing inside….
