Middlesborough Police's Finest Stand Around As A Burglary Takes Place Behind Them

Superintendent Steve Swales, a local police commander, said: "Middlesbrough has made great strides in terms of our professionalism and the service we provide to our community."

Yes, we can just see those strides in action.

Middlesborough Police are making an appeal for the return of their 'Image of Professionalism', last seen stolen in a cardboard box by students running down the road. Any (reliable) witnesses in the area at the time?

Men Should Reclaim Their Place

And so Sean Morey has composed a little ditty to make sure we know just who's boss round here. Thanks Sean. It's so nice to know you're not alone... My wife is sitting opposite me laughing like she's been found out...

Very Professional Pilots In A Crisis

No embedding on this clip of an engine on a plane failing on take-off. Could have gone horribly wrong, even fatally, apparently. This happened just two weeks ago. Follow the link.

I wonder if my fascination is a bit morbid but I love clips like this.

Yeltsin's Sense of Humour

Boris Yeltsin responds to a reporter's characterisation of him as a 'disaster' at the end of a successful summit with the then President of the United States; and Bill Clinton is beside himself with laughter.

So was he a disaster or not? He was a catalyst for democracy in the Soviet Union but also someone who partly through alcoholism & ill health proved unable to institutionalise reform sufficiently. Putin took over and has since been dragging the nation back towards dictatorship.

Boris Yeltsin died today.

Only history can tell whether his reforms will stand the test of time. I am not hopeful.
