Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Husband facing five years in jail after hacking wife's email

Leon Walker has been charged under anti-hacking laws aimed at preventing identity theft in the US. The 33-year-old had suspected his wife Clara, who had been married twice before was having an affair with her former husband.

He is alleged to have used his computer skills to gain access to her Gmail email account on the shared home computer. Mr Walker discovered a series of emails which confirmed his suspicions that his wife was cheating on him.

With nearly half US divorce cases involving some form of privacy invasion such as the reading of text messages or social networking web pages, the case could have significant legal repercussions.

As her second husband had previously been arrested for beating her in front of her son, Walker handed the emails over to the boy's father. The concerned father, Clara's first husband, sought sole custody of the boy and was forced into revealing Walker had leaked him the emails. When his wife realised her emails had been read she went to the authorities and pressed charges. She later split up from Walker and the couple were divorced earlier this month, when he was arrested for hacking.

Prosecutors in Oakland County, Michigan, charged Walker under the state's anti-hacking laws which were aimed at stopping identity theft and used to prosecute people who hack into Government computers.

Prosecutor Jessica Cooper dismissed Walker's claims that he had used his wife's password to log on to the computer. She said Walker was nothing but a "hacker" who used his skills as a computer technician to gain access to his wife's email account.

"It was password protected, he had wonderful skills, and was highly trained. Then he downloaded them and used them in a very contentious way," she said.

Walker said he had become suspicious of his wife after she failed to return home one night. He claimed he and his wife shared a laptop which he had bought after their marriage and maintained she often left the password to her email account lying around the house they shared in Rochester Hills.

Walker said he was worried as his wife was taking their one year old daughter to stay with her violent ex husband.

"I started putting more thought into it, and thought she was very likely taking our daughter over to the guy's house," Walker said. "So I said to myself, I bet you I can confirm that by reading her email. She kept very simple passwords and she left them in notes and books throughout the house." He added: "I was doing what I had to do. We're talking about putting a child in danger."

Walker, who works as an IT technician for Oakland County, denied that he had hacked into the account. He is due to go on trial in February and could face a maximum of five years in jail if convicted.

I have to admit to being somewhat fascinated by what pops up daily in connection with the murder of Joanna Yeates and giving 'background information' concerning Jo's 'blue-rinsed' Landlord chappie, Chris Jefferies.

My wife and I are actually discussing this case several times a day. Is it the same in your house?

Here's a little bit more on the case, but not necessarily about Jefferies. This was in today's The Scotsman:

It was reported today that police investigating Jo Yeates' death are to look at links to an unsolved murder committed near her home in 1974. Glennis Carruthers, 20, was found strangled outside Bristol Zoo. At the time police interviewed 16,000 people but no one was charged.

By the way, where's Ruth when you need her? ;-)

I was convinced it was her boyfriend that killed her before i knew about her landlord living upstairs , he would have had a spare key to her flat which would explain why her key's were left in the flat but what happen to the pizza that she bought ?

Any DNA will soon bring the case to a close.

The police only went door to door looking for the pizza box and other evidence the day after the recycling men came on Tuesday. Aren't our police wonderful.

Err Hello, extension would indicate not enough evidence to charge said landlord with murder, before condemnation and completion of enquiries innocent until proved guilty should prevail. Even if he does look like a dodgy bastard!

No one is saying his guilty. Extension would indicate the police are waiting for forensic evidence. Did you read today's paper's ? sound's like a right pervert.

I think they have recourse to two more extensions of up to 36 hours each requiring a visit to a magistrate. The maximum once the clock starts ticking is 96 hours unless terrorist offence.

"Takes one to know one" comes to mind!

But I would hang him now. Why waste public money!

aldwick - Did you read todays paper ?

What paper was that then The Sun? The Star? What kin planet are you on!

Not the one your on

"It emerged yesterday that detectives had been watching the retired teacher for several days prior to his arrest."

The Urine test (This was written by Paul Watson a fireman - and what he says
makes a lot of sense .)

I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to earn my monthly pay, I work on a fire station for the Fire and Rescue Service, I am required to pass a urine test for drugs and alcohol at my three yearly medical, with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque, when I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand that I have no problem with helping people to get back on their feet.

I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their arse drinking beer and smoking dope.

Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser who responded:

"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental" was the reply, "we got a great rate!"

"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser... "that's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."

"That's rich" laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful" explained the woman "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked so they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful and I had a handsome 28 year old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodelling job and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They too were overbooked, so they apologised and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough five minutes later the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What'd he say?"


He said: "Who the **** did your hair?"

The ruins of Detroit

eg, "In December 2001, the old Highland Park police department in Detroit was temporarily disbanded. The building it vacated was abandoned with everything in it: furniture, uniforms, typewriters, crime files and even the countless mug-shots of criminals who had passed through there.........."

and there's more.

eg, By the 1950s, Detroit was home to almost 2 million people, and its mainly single-storey suburbs had spread over 120 square miles.

Detroit's dramatic decline began soon afterwards, though, and those same suburbs would play their part in the long saga of abandonment and decay.

The collapse of the automobile industry started in the 1950s and reached crisis point in the 1960s and 1970s, due mainly to the demand for cheaper imported cars, made mainly in Japan, and the attendant rise in global oil prices.

The so called "white flight" from the city centre began in the 1950s and soonan increasingly black city was surrounded by a ring of communities that were all white.

This "white noose", as one contemporary observer referred to it, helped strangle the inner city, both economically and socially, turning it into a series of large ghettos intercut by freeway. Unrest reached a head in 1967, when 43 people were killed in a week of rioting that started after police officers raided an after-hours drinking club and which left the downtown streets looking like a war zone.

Since then, the city has been left increasingly to its own devices abandoned by politicians, planners, developers and businesses, by all, in fact, but the black urban poor.

"Even grocery stores and supermarkets disappeared from the city," writes Sugrue. "By the first decade of the 21st century, observers described Detroit as 'a food desert' a place without even a single, well-stocked supermarket within its boundaries."

Politically incorrect jokes
In a pub quiz the other day, I lost by one point. The question was where do women mostly have curly hair? Apparently, the correct answer is Africa .

I've heard that Apple have scrapped their plans for the new children's iPod after realizing that iTouch Kids is not a good product name.

There's a new Muslim clothing shop opened in Toronto but I've been banned from it after asking to look at some bomber jackets.

You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Just put a deposit down on a brand new Porsche & mentioned it on Facebook.
I said "I can't wait for the new 911 to arrive!" Next thing I know 4,000 Muslims have added me as a friend!!

Being a modest man, when I checked into my hotel on a recent trip, I said to the lady at the registration desk:
"I hope the porn channel in my room is disabled."
To which she replied, "No, it's regular porn, you sick bastard.

The red cross have just knocked at our door and ask if we could help towards the floods in Pakistan, I said we would love to, but our hose only reaches to the bottom of the garden.
