As with most thing, often there’s good and bad points. The same can be said for Graffiti, some of it is Art, some of it is humorous and some of it is just plane narcissistic vandalism. This is definitely Art, and impressive Art at that… as long as it’s not placed inappropriately.

Man barricaded in No mans land

We previously stated in an earlier post that the Island of No Mans Land Fort was for sale for 20 Million Dollars. We have now learnt that this is not the asking price.

The story as related by BBC news is that the Island is up for sale by creditors KPMG, due to the fact that the company who owns the island is in receivership.

The asking price for the island is a mere 4 Million Pounds or approximately 7.85 Million US Dollars.

In an even more amazing twist for the historical island, the previous owner, property developer Harmesh Pooni has recently barricaded himself on the island and refused to allow anyone to land by boat or helicopter.

“In a statement, a KPMG spokeswoman, said: “Mr Pooni has never been the freeholder of No Man’s Land Fort but was a director of Bob’s Leisure Limited a company, which was the registered freeholder of the fort, having purchased it using monies borrowed from Lexi Holdings Plc.”

“Bob’s Leisure Limited went into administration on 26 October 2004 and Mr Pooni was made bankrupt on 23 January 2006.

“Lexi Holdings Plc were left as a creditor of Bob’s Leisure Limited as the loan had not been repaid.

“It is our view that Mr Pooni is trespassing on the fort.”

“Mr Pooni said he came out of bankruptcy in November 2006 and Bob’s Leisure Limited was “reconstituted” in December 2007.

He claims he has a legal right to benefit from the proceeds of the sale of the fort

The battle is now set to move from the high seas to the High Court as it is the subject of possession proceedings, which were transferred there on 5 March.”

20 Million dollars and you can have this island

20 Million? Is that all, I’m on my way to the bank right now and see if they’ll lend me nineteen million nine hundred and ninety nine thousand five hundred. I’ll contribute the five hundred dollars of savings I put away for a rainy day, or any islands that may come up for sale.

The island is called No mans land fort and it is in a body of water called the Solent, which is located between Portsmouth and the Ilse of Wight in the South of England. The fort was built between 1867 and 1880 as a means of defense against potential attack from France.

David Pogue When it comes to tech, simplicity sells

A phrase we’ve all heard is ‘Tech support’, but it’s support for techs, not the average Joe or Joeann… if your not tech savvy they seem to be speaking in tongs, you sort of recognize most words, but it’s like they pulled them out of a hat or something, and then, just to make sure you’ve got no chance of understanding… they send you to India or the Philippines, forcing you to speak to someone who’s accent is sooo bad, you got no chance of understanding their basic English, yet alone their technobabel.

Now considering you were probably suffering from ’software rage’, before you resorted to the last resort, they then put on hold… don’t you just hate that. What ever happened to KISS? Why do they get geeks to explain geeky things in technobabel? What ever happened to plain English? What ever happened to Service? You bought their software, surely decent service is not too much to expect? But no, if you ring Microsoft, the first thing they ask for is your credit card number, a sort of wham bam thank you mam, no foreplay no pillow talk just give us ya money, and this from one of the supposed riches companies… and who else but Microsoft would call their off button ‘Start’?

Tender words

This phrase was shown to me by my Wife and came from a magazine she was reading.

Flying fish clocks 45 second record

Flying fish!, That’s pretty amazing. What is also curious is that the fish appears to fly along beside the ferry that the person was filming from.
