I need to warn you of something *very* groovy that’s coming your way in about a week and a bit.
Not a shouty thing, not a funny thing… but a Very Useful thing.
I hate it when things are incredibly sad and incredibly interesting at the same time…
Times – Death of an American dream: For Neil and Rachel Entwistle, their personal website was proof that they were living the great American dream. The couple, who met at the University of York rowing club, had moved to a small town in the US to start a family and have a better life. Yesterday that dream ended. State police were hunting for Mr Entwistle after his American wife and nine-month-old baby were found dead, lying side by side in the master bedroom of their home in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, under a pile of blankets. Mrs Entwistle had apparently been clutching her daughter Lillian to her when they were killed. State police said that Mr Entwistle, a British citizen, had left the United States, but they had made contact with him, and still considered him a “person of interest” in their inquiry.
Telegraph – Fugitive Briton calls police after his wife and baby are killed: A British man whose wife and baby daughter were found shot dead in their home in America has telephoned police to say he has left the country. Neil Entwistle, 27, an unemployed computer programmer, was involved in internet ventures including pornography websites.
Neil appears to have left one hell of a vapour-trail online… Huff’s Crime Blog invesigates.
Hot on the heels of The Million Dollar Home Page comes winalondonflat.com, which has already earned a mention or two in the press (including the Scotsman and Independent).
I have two hot links for you:
1. The Rat and Mouse – Win a Finchley flat – or not?: But the Rat and Mouse has seen this kind of thing before, and our experience is that the public rarely responds with the enthusiasm necessary to cover the costs. So what happens if the “north London couple” don’t raise enough to award the flat (plus conveyancing plus stamp duty)?
2. Random number generator… as good a price guide as any.
Bound to get you attention/arrested/actioned:
Tom Cruise is gay short.
Tony Blair is a liar.
George W. Bush is a coward.

State any or all as fact. Use large fonts. Use me as the source. Or use the person who repeats this as the source… and use even larger fonts… and so on and so forth.
Let’s see who sends a letter first…. to whom and about what.
