I found www.techadvice.com on Google, but got the message that it can't
display the webpage.

This is about to happen in the UK, but I wager it won't be long before
insurance companies do the same here.

Insurers target middle-class drinkers .

Insurers target middle-class drinkers with higher premiums

People who drink more than the recommended alcohol limits are being hammered
with huge hikes in life insurance premiums.

Firms are getting tough on the rising tide of binge drinking, and many
clients are seeing their premiums double.

With the Christmas season in full swing, revellers will be shocked to learn
that even those with moderate drinking habits are caught up in the new
rules, with women particularly affected.......contd

“Done the updates. Shall I reboot now? Shall I? Shall I reboot now? I
could reboot now, if you liked? Shall I reboot then? I can reboot now,
would you like that? Rebooty-tooty? Reboot? Since you're not busy,
shall we go read the BIOS copyright message together? How does this
screen look in white-out-of-black text? If you had done it when I first

Ready for a fresh start? Reboot?”

And He did tip the Phone upon its side. Then the display did respond
automatically to this reorientation, and went 'plink'. And lo, a ninety
degree rotation occurred, yet the aspect ratio was maintained and
sensible use was made of all available space, with only tasteful and
coordinated colours.

Thereupon the multitude were sore impressed, and cried out unto Him
saying: Do another one.

And He did place his two fingers upon the Phone, and He did move them
apart, one from the other, as though He was going to make the sign of
two fingers that is very rude yet not understood by Americans.

"Ralph Gardiner: Speed-limit checks about road safety? I don't think
so"

What dangerous crap he is writing for this time of year. He is all
bitter and twisted about receiving a speeding ticket recently. The
former Commissioner of Police also received a speeding ticket in
somewhat similar circumstances several years ago, but took it on the
nose. He did not whinge and moan about his guys being requiired to
enforce traffic laws.

He was complaining that he went faster when going downhll - he should
have been paying attention. He complained about a multiplicity of
speed limits over a short stretch. Again he should have been paying
attention to his driving.
