http://pauldonnelley.blogspot.com/2012/01/mysterious-world-of-facebook-finance.html
The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Saturday, January 28, 2012. The mysterious world of Facebook finance. The news, or rumour, that Facebook. Is about go public with an IPO. Started me wondering again. Where does its money come from? I am still puzzled as to how Facebook. Is worth $100billion - or whatever the latest figure appears to be. Where does the revenue come from? I had a Facebook. Is not selling email addresses. So where does the revenue come from? Charge companies for their pages? Even if it...

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley: Cut back strictly gay projects
http://pauldonnelley.blogspot.com/2010/09/cut-back-strictly-gay-projects.html
The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Friday, September 24, 2010. Cut back strictly gay projects. In the Nineteenth Century Oscar Wilde described homosexuality as "the love that dare not speak its name". In the Twentieth Century Kenneth Williams commented that the love that dare not speak its name now won't stop shouting from the rooftops". This means that, in total, around 1.5 per cent of the population is either homosexual or bisexual. The number is far lower than the estimate used as a basis for the ...

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Sunday, May 29, 2011. They just don't get it. The hatchet-faced harridan Sharon Shoesmith who has unbelievably won her case for unfair dismissal sqawks, "I don't do blame" when asked if she feels any responsibility for the death of 17-month-old toddler Peter Connelly. She claims that her health has suffered because of her ordeal and that she had even contemplated suicide although she didn't look at death's door in the pictures taken on Friday. C L R James.

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley: Last cut is the deepest
http://pauldonnelley.blogspot.com/2010/12/last-cut-is-deepest.html
The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. Last cut is the deepest. So Justice Secretary Ken Clarke is to drop the manifesto proposal that anyone caught carrying a knife would be subject to an automatic prison sentence. The Coalition have now lost the moral high ground when it comes to law and order but is anyone really surprised that they are backtracking on yet another promise? Posted by Paul Donnelley.

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley: December 2011
http://pauldonnelley.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Monday, December 19, 2011. Diana's death taught the North Koreans to publicly mourn. Kim Jong Il, North Korea's Dear Leader, died of a heart attack on Saturday at the age of 69 or possibly 70 - as with so much about him his date of birth is unclear. Laugh all you want at the public mourning in North Korea and then watch the footage of Diana's funeral and tell me what is different. Posted by Paul Donnelley. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Close our purse strings. Prime Minister David Cameron announces that Britain will donate a further £814million of taxpayers’ money to a child vaccine programme run by Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates, taking the country’s total contribution to £1.5billion.

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley: Prisoners have no right to vote
http://pauldonnelley.blogspot.com/2011/05/prisoners-have-no-right-to-vote.html
The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Sunday, May 22, 2011. Prisoners have no right to vote. It has been a long time since my last post for which I apologise. Should prisoners have a right to vote? No Totally and unequivocally no. When someone goes to prison, they lose the right to vote and this is as how it should be. A friend of mine disagreed. He said that anything that makes prisoners feel less disenfranchised is a good thing. Posted by Paul Donnelley. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). C L R James.

He was sent down for six months after he had been found guilty of actual bodily harm. Now another man has come forward to claim that he, too, was assaulted by Andrews. A police spokesman said, "Two officers will be receiving words of advice from a senior officer on how to present their evidence.". C L R James.

The Random Jottings of Paul Donnelley. Tuesday, August 09, 2011. It's not the cuts, Ken. Some things are cyclical. The planet warms up and cools down by itself; flares come back into fashion; a reality show winner will crash and burn and Ken Livingstone will pop up opportunistically to have a pop at the Tories. There he was last night on Newsnight. Blaming the rioting in Tottenham. On "the cuts". He bemoaned the "fact" that in Tottenham. Or looting a Vodafone. The people carrying out this mayhem are not ...
