Mums sell pupils pies to defy Jamie Oliver [/url] Mums: 'Kids not interested in low fat rubbish' He managed to persuade the Government to part with 220 million pounds to improve school dinners. But Jamie Oliver it appears has failed to make a lasting impression on two mothers who are now leading a junk food rebellion. Instead of backing his quest to introduce healthier meals they are running a delivery service offering fish and chips, hamburgers and fizzy drinks. Julie Critchlow, 43, and Sam Walker, 41, launched their "meals on wheels service" for youngsters who they say are not interested in overpriced "low fat rubbish" served up at lunchtimes. The m…

Terrorist theater tricks By Caroline B. Glick What are we seeing when we watch events from the Middle East on our television screens? Is it news or is it terrorist theater? Let us observe two media events which occurred on Sunday in Gaza. Sunday afternoon released hostages and Fox News journalists Steven Centanni and Olaf Wiig spoke before the cameras. The fact of their release and their statements were reported by more than 1,000 news organizations throughout the world. At the press conference, Centanni and Wiig, who were forced by their Palestinian captors to convert to Islam, praised the Palestinians. Centanni said, "I just hope this never scares …

New driving test rule forces Muslim women to remove their veils Muslim women are having their face veils removed so their identities can be checked before they take driving tests. The move by the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) follows a spate of cases in which bogus learner drivers impersonated friends or relatives and took the test for them. Now the DSA has ordered female test examiners to discreetly remove the face veil - or nikab - from Muslim women in a private room along with a female chaperone or interpreter. They will then match the women's faces against a photo ID from their provisional driving licence or passport to ensure entrants are genuine. Pos…

Pandamonium! They are pictures that will tug the heartstrings of every animal lover - 16 baby giant pandas being nursed at their own unique kindergarten. And they are just part of a miraculous success story for scientists in China, who are using modern technology to save one of the world's rarest and most endangered species from extinction. This year the artificial insemination programme at Wolong Research Centre has produced a record 25 giant panda births - including a set of twins born last Monday - and a further 20 babies are expected before Christmas. The twins weighed just 5.5oz each and the as-yet-unnamed cubs were the first for their eight-ye…

Big Brother is shouting at you Big Brother is not only watching you - now he's barking orders too. Britain's first 'talking' CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly. The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts - from dropping litter to late-night brawls - to send out a verbal warning: 'We are watching you'. Middlesbrough has fitted loudspeakers on seven of its 158 cameras in an experiment already being hailed as a success. Jack Bonner, who manages the system, said: 'It is one hell of a deterrent. It's one thing to know that there are CCTV cameras about, but …

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Two 17-year-olds suspected of plotting a shooting spree at their school were fascinated with the mass killings at Columbine High School and had homemade bombs and weapons at their homes, investigators said Friday. The boys were arrested Thursday at East High School after a student went to an associate principal. A detective said Friday that one boy wanted to enact the plan Thursday but the other talked him out of it. "If someone hadn't come forward, we'd be talking about funerals instead of charges," said Brown County District Attorney John Zakowski. William C. Cornell and Shawn R. Sturtz were arrested for suspicion of conspiracy to commit firs…

Plans for three new skyscrapers to sit alongside Freedom Tower on the site of the World Trade Center in New York have been unveiled by architects. The towers will descend in height in a semicircle around the memorial to the victims of the 11 September attacks. The designs complete plans for Ground Zero, where the showpiece Freedom Tower is already under construction. But five years on, frustration is growing over the lack of actual rebuilding work, correspondents say. British architects Norman Foster and Richard Rogers have each designed one of the new towers, as has Fumihiko Maki of Japan. Each building will be covered in glass and the tallest will stan…

Six killed in Swiss tunnel crash At least six people have been killed in a crash in a busy road tunnel in the southeast of Switzerland. Police say a bus carrying a youth ice hockey team and a car collided in the 750-metre (820 yard) Viamale tunnel near the border with Italy and Austria. Both vehicles caught fire, filling the tunnel with smoke and hampering rescue efforts. The tunnel is almost 40 years old, and with traffic flowing in both directions is of the type now seen as most risky. Police said six people had been injured and warned that the death toll might rise. Passengers travelling in other cars were forced to flee on foot and rescue workers say a…

Pressure mounts for 'ban' on zero size models Pressure was mounting today for a catwalk ban on super-skinny models. On the eve of London Fashion Week the growing trend for "size-zero" models in the fashion industry is causing grave concern. Experts say legislation is now needed to protect the health of the models and of the teenage girls and young women who are influenced by them. They are urging London to follow the lead taken by Madrid � and likely to be adopted by Milan � of banning models below a certain size from the catwalks. Under any ban, super-thin models such as Lily Cole would be barred. London Fashion Week, which begins next…

Forgetful driver takes seven months to find parked missing motor Erick King: Absent-minded An absent-minded driver has finally got back behind the wheel of his missing car - seven months after forgetting where he parked it. Eric King, 57, left his black X-reg Ford Focus in a residential road last February so he could walk into the town centre while visiting Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. But when he tried to find his &pound3,000 car again, he could not remember the name of the road where he had parked it or where it was. Mr King, a retired engineer, searched for four hours before catching a coach back to his home in Milton Keynes. He lost two stone in we…

Met's Operation Burberry causes fury at fashion house Police incurred wrath of Burberry after naming an operation after the fashion brand Bosses at Burberry must have thought that the company was at last beginning to shed its unwanted association with Chavs. No longer would their upmarket brand and its distinctive check pattern be instantly linked to downmarket wannabes and wide boys. But then along came the Metropolitan Police. Senior officers decided to call a crackdown on football hooligans Operation Burberry. Caps in the check pattern, or at least fake copies, had become part of the hooligan uniform. Burberry is furious at the use of its nam…

The ancient Olmec civilization probably produced the faintly etched symbols around 900 B.C., or roughly three centuries before what previously had been proposed as the earliest examples of writing in the Americas. "We are dealing with the first, clear evidence of writing in the New World," said S…

Thumbs up... 3 mins later he was dead SMILING Steve Irwin gives the camera the thumbs-up only three minutes before he was killed by a stingray. The 44-year-old was snapped by tourists just before he died in the freak accident when the creature’s poisonous barb pierced his heart. The new photos show the lovable Crocodile Hunter in great spirits just before he perished while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef.

Kate’s 14 steps to £30 million Nearly a year to the day since Kate Moss was sacked by high street retailer H&M, she is riding high as the face of a record 14 advertising campaigns. Her &pound11million annual income is now believed to have tripled to more than &pound30 million. The fashion world was divided when photographs of Moss allegedly snorting cocaine were published.

Drink and drugs ruining British youngsters, Government admit An epidemic of smoking, drinking and drug-taking is ruining an entire generation of young Britons, the Government's own expert advisers have warned. A scathing report by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs exposes the shocking scale on which British youngsters are wrecking their lives with dangerous substances. It says underage teens have 'little difficulty' in obtaining the alcohol, drugs and cigarettes they want, while drug prevention programmes in schools have 'little if any impact'. The report highlights a rapid recent rise in binge drinking, particularly among young women, and wa…

Hundreds camp out for tickets to Steve Irwin's memorial service Golden ticket: Hundreds of mourners queued for tickets for the chance to attend Irwin's memorial service Three-thousand grieving fans, hundreds of whom camped on the street overnight, were rewarded Friday with tickets to "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's public memorial service next week. The free tickets were distributed at three locations across Irwin's home state of Queensland, and were snapped up within about 15 minutes. Melissa Power, a 34-year-old beautician, was at the front of the line in the state capital, Brisbane, and had tears in her eyes when she finally got her ticket. "It…

Pervy PC ... Lumber poses next to commemorative stone PC plays cops and doggers A BEAT bobby has been given the boot after he went “dogging” for sex while on duty. Pervy PC Darren Lumber, 35, stunned one couple by squeezing in beside them as they smooched in the front of their car. The married dad of two egged them on to have sex as he tried to join the romp in full uniform. At one stage he even got a call on his radio but told fellow cops: “I’m busy at the moment — I’ll get back to you in 20 minutes.” He was sacked after bragging to colleagues on the Avon and Somerset force about his car park antics.…

Right... I'm sure there's a lot of big PC people out here (I'm one myself) but I just wanna get some opinions on this. My computer isn't great, and I want to just make it faster. I'm upgrading the RAM in it but I wanna know if anyone has any solutions to how to make my computer faster. I'll listen to ANY solutions. :D

What a load of Ballacks 14/09/06 THE world’s highest-paid footballer claims he can’t afford to live in Britain. Chelsea’s Michael Ballack, 29, hit out at London house prices – despite earning a whopping £130,000 a week. That’s enough for a mortgage of nearly £30million. The German captain insists his £6.76m annual salary isn’t enough to get on the property ladder – which will stun Brits earning the average annual wage of £25,100. The midfielder is believed to have initially set his heart on buying a six-bedroom home with a pool, either in the capital or near Chelsea’s training ground in Cobham, Surrey. But after being told it would set …

Drunk Gascoigne blows thousands in seven-hour betting binge Betting binge: Gascoigne gets drunk as he blows thousands of pounds at casino Paul Gascoigne is back on the booze as he goes on an alcohol fuelled gambling binge in London. The troubled football legend spent seven-hours at a Mayfair casino, downing glass after glass of Cristal Champagne and chain-smoking 100 cigarettes – while betting up to 4,000 a hand on black jack. Gascoigne's gambling has spiralled out of control recently as he has been spotted on several occasions laying large sums of money on the turn of a card. The latest gambling marathon by the England and Spurs hero will concern…

Terror group threatens England's water GLASGOW, Scotland, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A Scottish terrorist organization Sunday threatened to poison England's public water supply, endangering hundreds of thousands of lives. The Scottish National Liberation Army, dedicated to Scottish independence, made the threat in an e-mail to The Sunday Times of London office in Glasgow, Scotland. "Our aim is to poison water supplies in England, not in the entire UK," the e-mail said. "We have the means to do this and we shall. This is a war and we intend to win it." Police said the e-mail came from a Canadian server, the newspaper said. Britain's Home Office also launched an inves…
