Gilera DNA.org

Obviously when I called the site Gilera DNA.org, it had something to do with the fact that I owned the URL, albeit that it was given to me by Microsoft Office Live. Well the lock-in period is over and http://gileradna.org/ now redirects here. It cost $10 and I suppose doesn’t really change anything but I wasn’t going to do anything else with it and it seems a waste not to.

It expires on 3rd March 2008 so expect a new title for the blog on that day. That’s what I call plenty of warning for you!

I’ve been following the story of the Chief Constable who used the headless body of a biker in his road safety campaign (MCN News). This guy was riding a Suzuki Hayabusa, the fastest production motorcycle in this country, without a licence and obviously in a dangerous manner, and as such it’s hard to be too sympathetic: he brought it on himself. That said, he has very much paid the price for his behavior. That should be the end of it.

In the olden days in this country the heads of executed traitors were put on stakes on the top of the old London Bridge as a warning to the people to keep on the straight and narrow or else! You would have thought that in the 21st Century, we would have moved on from this attitude. It seems that this individual, Richard Brunstom, has not. This ‘Elf & Safety’ Nazi want’s to display his body as a warning in much the same way as in medieval London.

This is not acceptable. He’s got to go.

This is the URL of the petition to get rid of him mcn.online@emap.com They want your full name and address.
