Is that a confession ?

Big day for Spurs. The lavatories will be busy at the Lane tonight. Get there early, book a booth.

I have paid my ?44 and after that I have free bike access for a year in and around work. Thats pretty good and easy to understand.

http://cyclehi.com this mobile link works on symbian (Nokia) phones - enter the postcode or tube station name and it gives the info on the available bikes / spaces nearby. So there you go, got there in the end.

I have decided I have a symbian phone, not an android phone. Hence all the problems I have been having trying to download android ???? Since our Head of IT told me this morning it was an android phone, I'll blame him. That will be why I dont have a built in android market app. thanks anyway.

Eh - that was the Administrator - he should know.

Sorry - but the android market I have does not have a search - please post link and put me out of my misery..... This is the link I'm using - I dont see a search icon. thx. Android Market

These are completely new to me. But technology never ceases to amaze me. You can scan this square with the camera of your mobile phone and it takes you to wikipedia. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9b/Wikipedia_mobile_en.svg/150px-Wikipedia_mobile_en.svg.png I'm sure the world and his wife know about this already, but there you go.

I still cant find the download for this app. I can find endless information about the app but not the download. The android market does not seem to have a search facility - anyone who can post the link to the download, Id be grateful.

Spoilsport.

this is getting very heavy. Arent we making this person seem more important than he is?

Anyway to change the subject. If Celtic and Liverpool get into the Europa league proper (pending thursday nights results), I'm happy to take a small bet with any Liverpool fan (or hanger on) that Celtic will match their progress in the competition. Lennon v Hodgson.

I hear he has a preference for the older man though. So look out.

Yes Yes Yes.

Their records are quite similar. I think O'Neill's is as good if not better. I hope Hodgson does well, I just can't see it being a success. I like the way he speaks, he is very calm and assuring but I think its a gamble, I don't have the same faith others do. I'm more than happy to be proved wrong. Liverpool needs success.

Martin O Neill - yes. Roy Hodgson, I see as a bit of a journeyman manager. Before Fulham it seems noone talked of him despite the long list of lower grade success. He was tested once at a top club and failed. It seems to me his reputation has gone through the roof just on recent form. And who could not beat Juventus these days.

Can anyone post a link to the Cycle Hire Widget available within Android Market etc or tell me where i can actually download it from - can't find it anywhere on the android market site. thanks.

I paid ?44 for a year. Journeys up to 30mins are free.

Bike was great, very comfortable and easy to ride - My first time, so thanks for the tip on locating the free spaces and I did think an app would be a good idea. I have a nokia so not sure I can get it, but will look. In general there are too many bikes and not enough spaces at popular work destinations and there should be a redistribution mechanism during early morning busy periods to get them back to their original spots as lots of people cycling round trying to offload their bikes! Thanks.

Has anyone on the Lounge been using this? Took a bike from Victoria to Pall Mall and could not find anywhere to dock it, had to take it into the office and check the website and cycle away from the office 5mins to find a space, then walk back. Great.

Usage today Stoning is practiced in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, and Nigeria.[16][citation needed] [edit] Afghanistan Before the Taliban government, most areas of Afghanistan, aside from the capital, Kabul, were controlled locally by warlords or tribal leaders and the Afghan legal system depended highly on an individual community's local culture and the political and/or religious ideology of its leaders. Stoning also occurred in lawless areas, where vigilantes decide to commit the act for political purposes. Once the Taliban Government took over, stoning became the official punishment for many crimes, although once the U.S.-led occupation started, stoning had ended as an official court ruling, but still occurs unofficially.[17] A Taliban-ordered public stoning of a couple accused of adultery took place in Kunduz on August 15, 2010.[18] [edit] Iran Further information: Capital punishment in Iran The Iranian judiciary officially placed a moratorium on stoning in 2002, although the punishment remained on the books, and there were a few cases of Judges handing down stoning sentences in 2006 and 2007 [19] In 2008, Iran's judiciary decided to fully scrap the punishment from the books in a legislation submitted to parliament for approval.[20] As of June 2009, Iran's parliament has been reviewing and revising the Islamic penal code to omit stoning as a form of punishment.[21] In Iran, stoning as a punishment did not exist until 1983, when the contemporary Islamic Penal Code was ratified. Many Muslim jurists in Iran are of the opinion that while stoning can be considered Islamic, the criteria under which it can be imposed as a sentence are stringent: Because of the large burden of proof needed to reach a guilty sentence of adultery, its penalty is hardly ever applicable. Furthermore, while legally on the books, because of vociferous domestic and international controversy and outcry over stoning in the early years of the Islamic republic, the government placed official moratoriums on the punishment and, as a result, it was rarely practiced. Nevertheless, much of the public was outraged that such a backward and torturous ritual became instituted in the laws of their country.[22] In 2002, Iran's judiciary indicated that stoning will no longer be practiced in Iran.[23] However, following the election of Ahmadinejad, there were reports of judges handing down stoning sentences in 2006 and 2007, and 2010. Finally, in 2008, Iran's judiciary decided to scrap the punishment of stoning in draft legislation submitted to parliament for approval.[20] In July 2010, the Iranian judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimirad was quoted as saying "Stoning has been dropped from the penal code for a long time, and in the Islamic republic, we do not see such punishments being carried out", further adding that if stoning sentences were passed by lower courts, they were over-ruled by higher courts and "no such verdicts have been carried out." [24] [edit] Somalia In October, 2008, a girl, Aisho Ibrahim Dhuhulow, was buried up to her neck at a football stadium, then stoned to death in front of more than 1,000 people. The stoning occurred after she had allegedly pleaded guilty to adultery in a sharia court in Kismayo, a city controlled by Islamist insurgents. According to the insurgents she had stated that she wanted shari`ah law to apply.[25] However, other sources state that the victim had been crying, that she begged for mercy and had to be forced into the hole before being buried up to her neck in the ground.[26] Amnesty International later learned that the girl was in fact 13 years old and had been arrested by al-Shabab militia after she had reported being gang-raped by three men.[27] In December 2009, another instance of stoning was publicized. Mohamed Abukar Ibrahim was accused of adultery by the Hizbul Islam militant group.[28] [edit] Saudi Arabia, Sudan Stonings, with and without legal proceedings have been reported in Sudan and Saudi Arabia [29] [edit] Nigeria More than a dozen Nigerian Muslims have been sentenced to death by stoning for sexual offences ranging from adultery to homosexuality since the Sharia legal system was introduced in 2000. But none of these death sentences has actually been carried out. They have either been thrown out on appeal or commuted to prison terms as a result of pressure from human rights groups. Many others have been sentenced to flogging for drinking alcohol. Although there have been two amputations in north-western Zamfara State which pioneered the introduction of the Islamic legal system in the country.

I'm on my way.
