        Will Self's The Book of Dave is coming true
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            Good. Makes it easier to round horrible thick common sorts up when we run out of dog food or soap.

                  Hmm. The article header was misleading.

                  I thought it meant that babies were being given text speak name identifiers, eg...1-800-Jade or Dial-4-Gary

                  Which I thought was a brilliant idea !

                  Why ?

                  Because then, if you are introduced to someone, eg Mr Jack Jones, you don't have to exchange contact details, because everyone in a country has a common contact identifier in which you can communicate with them.

                  So instead of me having a seperate email, phone number, etc etc etc, i have one unique point of contact for all communication, so I can be tracked down easily wherever I am.

                  Ah well...back to Eleezabet Porshe names it is then...
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    I can hear a turning noise coming from Fleetwood's grave.
                    You shouldn't mess with the original spellings of Padraig and Ysobel.

                      Of course, Mercedes-the-cars are named after Mércédès Jellinek, daughter of the engineer who wrote the specs for the first car to bear that name. So she can tell them to get stuffed
