Chicken breast prices next?

Groceries Still High When Oil Low

Facebook group Busts 4 Justice and a 30G herself, was so infuriated by the policy that she bought a share in the company with the intention of confronting chairman Sir Stuart Rose at the next annual meeting in July.
But she won her battle as Marks and Spencer admitted it had "boobed" and promised one price would fit all.
A spokesman said: "We've heard what our customers are telling us that they are unhappy with the pricing on our DD-plus bras and that basically we've boobed."
He added: "So from Saturday May 9 no matter what size you buy, the price is going to be the same.

Confidence trick

Have you ever wondered whether that unfamiliar face in the office is actually an intruder about to steal your data? Probably not, but maybe it is time to think again.

At one FTSE-listed financial institution the managing director himself opened the door to a stranger who, within 20 minutes of gaining entry to the building, had found a highly sensitive document outlining a half a billion pound merger lying on a desk.

Luckily, on this occasion, the data was not used for nefarious purposes because the intruder was Colin, a consultant.
He was there at the request of the firm's IT director to test the resilience of the company to social engineering attacks.

In a similar experiment conducted at the Aunty anti-Gazan BBC, Mr Greenpill targeted five Aunty anti-Gazan BBC employees. Pretending to be an IT engineer - with the prior permission of Aunty anti-Gazan BBC bosses - he managed to obtain all of their usernames and passwords with a simple phone call.

Puck me! Waat is problem Yaar!?!

A Hollywood film studio has taken legal action against Bollywood movie-makers who it claims copied 1992 comedy hit My Cousin Vinny.
20th Century Fox has sued BR Films for 70m rupees (£940,000) at Mumbai's High Court, saying Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai is an illegal remake.
The script and storyline is virtually identical to the original US movie, the studio contends.
BR Films has rejected the allegations, saying their film was original.
It argues the characters and settings for their release were different.
Long history
Fox said that the Bollywood studio was given permission to use the film's idea for the basis of a new production, but the rights for a Hindi language remake had not been approved.
The Indian movie industry has a long history of remaking Hollywood productions for the local market.
Recent objections from US film-makers have included a possible remake of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which has been threatened with legal action.

Do not waste a lot of time thinking or talking about the shortcomings or wrong actions of those in power. Their organization of the world has created your opportunity; all you get really
comes to you because of them. Do not rage against corrupt politicians.If it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy and your opportunity would be greatly lessened.God has worked a long time and very patiently too

Race car gets chocolate power

Race car gets chocolate power
A racing car which is powered and built from natural ingredients including chocolate, carrots and potatoes has been unveiled by researchers at the University of Warwick.
The scientists have built the competitive Formula 3 car - which can still do 125mph around corners - to show how much can be done with environmentally sustainable technologies.
The "WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car" runs on fuel made from waste chocolate and vegetable oil, has a steering wheel derived from carrots and other root vegetables, a flax fibre and soybean oil foam racing seat and bodywork made from potatoes.
The researchers based in the university's Warwick Manufacturing Group and the Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre said the car met all the Formula 3 racing standards except for the engine fuel as competing cars currently cannot use biodiesel.
