PostsSpace Tourism is nearly here! 1st April 2011 8:56 AM “Great news Steve! ah, but how can it be fascinating without friends, pizzas, lemonade, sunshine, cool air, ferris wheels ride, cycling, and all the stuff?  ”lol and stag nights, hen nights, vomit and a heavy police presence Maybe now I can see why they went for a desert location.Any good April Fools? 1st April 2011 8:54 AM Was trying to think of an inspirational April Fool for this morning, only one I could think of was maybe a BT announcement that we would all have superfast broadband within 2 years, but thats too obvious a wind up  Only caught a little bit of the BBC news, they normally have a good one, but only one I saw as a possible fake was the "Happiness Survey". Apparently Space Tourism is nearly here! 31st March 2011 5:20 PM “As you said I have a feeling this sort of thing will only ever be available to the richest of the rich” aghh but from their wealthy dollars will come expansion, new technology and affordability for the rest of us. Remember the car was unattainable luxury for the rich until Henry came along and invented mass production. Lorry Legend has died at the age of 56 31st March 2011 5:18 PM Thats Terrible. He certainly built a lasting legacy... If I had an air horn, I'd give it a honk Space Tourism is nearly here! 31st March 2011 2:01 PM Ok the spaceport is being built in Mojave Desert and not Blackpool, but its pretty exciting stuff as the Virgin Galactic spaceship nears completion. Trouble is, I think ticket prices will remain out of reach in my lifetime, but maybe the kids will get a trip to the moon BBC News - Space tourism closer as Virgin Galactic nears lift off Domain Management 31st March 2011 1:50 PM It is fairly basic, but you can split into loads of separate accounts if you wanted, which I suppose you could name by company. BAA told to sell off another 2 airports 31st March 2011 10:48 AM “But they're supposed to break up monopolies Steve! I wish they'd get round to breaking the power of the print and online media moguls though.” It is interesting though, can a business only grow to a certain size? Could you argue Google is a monopoly and should be broken up? Or is just the UK that doesn't like business to get too big? If I'm travelling on a plane, will having different airport providers make much of a difference? They will still charge airport taxes, and will B'ham Airport compete with East Midlands? I may save Domain Management 31st March 2011 10:40 AM They get some flak, but I've never had any issues, and use UK2.net All of our domains are lumped together, or you can split them into different accounts, can search/order by expiring, set up alerts/auto renew, all the usual. Contral panel is basic, but does everything it needs to for us. Have attached a screen shot of our panel if that helps. BAA told to sell off another 2 airports 30th March 2011 11:51 AM Airport operator BAA has been told by the Competition Commission that it should sell Stansted and either Glasgow or Edinburgh airports. BAA has mounted a string of legal challenges to try to keep them ever since the commission initially ruled in 2009 that the operator must sell three of its seven UK airports. It has already sold Gatwick Airport. BBC News - BAA told by Competition Commission to sell two airports I nearly got all patriotic and ready for a flag waving rant when I saw this story, how can they force the British Airports Authority to flog off 3 of its airports?
