Brain Heist

The Heist. Anyone watch it? Is Derren Brown for real or was the biggest hoax the fact that people are watching it and believing it? I cannot believe that three out of the four people tried to rob the security guard just because of the right signals being sent. It is quite scary that it is possible to imprint subconsciously the desire to do something like that.... actually that does explain how Anthony Hutton won the last big brother.

What with this and Space Cadets, it's amazing what a certain type of person will allow themselves to believe or do.

Miscommunication and Inhuman Actions

by cj592 @ 2006-01-04 - 19:55:52

Miscommunication can be a dangerous thing as seen in todays news. 11 families were distraught after being told that their relatives had died in a mining accident when only three hours before they were all told that they had survived and were alive.
The worse thing is that the ICG, realised their mistake after 20 minutes and didnt tell anyone.

I heard it on the radio this morning that they had been found safe, and it was in some papers. Even our school assembly, which had the theme of 'hope' used the story as an example of hoping for the best.

Also on the news, the AA have had their knuckles rapped (and rightly so) after a man was found dead in a car and the AA phoned the family and told them to move the car, as the membership had expired when the man did. Now that is twisted.
The AA have now apologised and blamed 'human error'. It sounds more like inhuman error

Playhem

It's January the 4th and I've finally got my Christmas Present- the Doctor Who series one DVD box set. Well actually I did get one on Christmas day, but after I opened it I thought there was something missing. There were four discs and a flappy bit in the midddle which held a fifth disc. But on the other side of the flappy bit in the middle there was a pocket. An Empty pocket. It looked like it should have held something. Checking the Contents list, it said there should have been a collectors edition booklet but it was missing. So my OH returned it back to Play.Com (£5.40 recorded delivery of which they refunded us £1.40) and then they sent another one. Not sealed with a damaged box. Not Good. So my OH returned it again but decided we would not ask for another one from them. To be fair they have refunded everything we have paid now

My OH replaced my set from Woolworths.

I'm back at work now so I won't be able to watch it for ages
