Roger, Wilko, Over And Out

Like many people (well amongst the older population) in the UK, I was saddened by the news that general hardware store (and a bit of everything else as well .... that was part of it problem), Wilko was going in to administration prior to probable closure.

The news doesn't look good, as they said that they risked running out of money to pay the bills last Friday .... So the chances are pretty high that it will not be saved (at least not in its current form).

Indian Call Centre Chaos

 Once again I have fallen foul of the curse of the Indian Call Centre ...

Call Centre Memes Are All Over The Internet .

 ..... In this instance, its eBay and PayPal who have chosen to inflict this terror on to the British public (while probably not daring to do so with their American customers).

Benito's Brain

Recently I posted on the whereabouts of the remains of Adolf Hitler, and the demise of Stalin. So my attention was immediately drawn when in one of those strange coincidences that we all encounter, a story surfaced this week that Benito Mussolini's brain and other physical remains had been stolen for sale on the Internet.

Benito's Brain Gone Missing ....

With the initial price requested for the material at 15,000 euros ($22,000; £13,000), the listing, on EBay, was said to include images of a wooden container and ampoule's of blood. EBay, said that the listing was removed within hours.

So there you are, Hitlers bits could be anywhere (probably lost), Stalin's embalmed and buried in a wall, and Mussolini's parts were offered up on EBay, and Hirohitos got a state funeral.
