A freak meteor storm in outer space has caused the debris from the recently shot down american satellite to alter its trajectory and it is now calculated to be heading directly for Washington.
An emergency conference has been called to discuss the possible effects of Hydrazine on the population.
All denials that the debris would not be harmful seem to have been retracted now that even the White House could be directly in the path of the falling space trash.
Rumours are also circulating that the satellite was not 'rogue', and that the sole reason for shooting it down in the first place was to test American military ability to do so - in answer to the Chinese who performed a similar feat over their own country some months ago(in other words, they got there first!)

And Now the News From Where You Live
Think of all the really good drama that has been produced over the last 50years. Now take off everything with an all english, completely able- bodied production crew and cast - and then ask if any of it would have been made if the form below had been in existence. This is a leaked memo from the B.B.C. to various production companies.
BBC Vision Programme On Screen Portrayal Form
BBC Vision is committed to promoting all kinds of diversity on and off-screen. As part of this commitment we require this form to be filled in for each BBC Vision production.

· From which ethnic group do you believe they originate?
(Please write the number of people in the relevant box on each line)

If I were disabled, or from an ethnic minority, would i want to be employed purely to fulfill someone´s politically correct idea of a work quota?
Or would i want to be employed on merit?

Calling all Ageing Billionaires and Rock Stars
To whom it may concern:
I am a reasonable looking (well, maybe a bit bit hard and calculating) blonde.
I'm english and an ex 'model'in my thirties. I have an evil sense of humour and I dont mind having sex with old men.
Ive been around the block a few times but i can be a bit transparent which is why i like my men gullible and on the wrong side of 60.
Ideally, i would like to get pregnant & married in a short space of time, and if a quick heart attack for hubby isnt on the cards then a divorce would have to be in order. Of course, i would like to make sure that a large settlement will be forthcoming - several million pounds should do nicely.
I would like the split to be easy, but as i have ideas above my station and want to become a lawyer, i will be able to defend myself if necessary.
