Fathers day 2007 is on the 17th June, so you might want to get in early and get him something like a gadget from one of the many great shops at UK Gadet Shops. Dad’s love technology and pretty much anything with flashing lights and moving parts so they are not that hard to please.
Fathers day is not traditionally as well observed as Mothers day, however you dont need to spend the earth on a snazzy little gadget or gizmo. You can get a memorable gift for under a tenner, leaving cash aside for something for yourself…
Fathers day 2007 is a Sunday.
You have been reminded…

My favourite new story from last nights news was the one about traffic wardens getting cameras mounted on their hats to record their busy day. While protecting workers is fine, where is the cash to fund this coming from? ( are they going to have to go into overdrive writing tickets, making themselves even more unpopular!) Since wardens will only show the footage that backs up their arguement, will motorists all have to have a dashboard mounted camera to put their side of the story to appeals and court cases.
This scheme was piloted in Greater Manchester and could be expanded UK wide, with even Police getting in on the fun.
The thought of every civil servant in the UK beeming wireless pictures of you to headquarters is slightly disconcerting and raises the question of who will be watching the footage and Freedom Of Information issues. I don’t think the governmen has thought this through do you?
Soon we will all leave the house with a camera in case anything happens….

Glasgow University in Scotland has been given a grant of £1.2 million to develop the next generation of gadgets that will be 10x faster and 10x smaller than current technology.
The Money was granted by the The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to develop transisters that will be part of integrated circuits in computers, mp3 players, mobile phones and gaming consoles.
Funding bosses are hoping that this will result in the UK being at the forefront of the next wave of technology and bring jobs and further funding to the UK and Scotland in particular.
