Yet again there is a

Yet again there is a call for mobiles to be banned in the uk whilst driving. Personally I think its a great idea, even though I do use a mobile whilst driving – with the hands free kit. there is not much difference between using that, and talking to someone else in the car and uses less hands than smoking does (which I also think should be banned if phone use is banned) I have seen far too many people driving like a lunatic with a phone to the ear, although with the hands free kit, the dangerous bit is dialing the numbers (unless you have voice activated dialing on the phone)
Interestingly on the Department of Transport’s page, is the following quote “[Employers:]Do not ask your staff to carry out two demanding tasks at the same time. It can be an offence for employers to require employees to use mobile phones while driving – you are asking them to drive while not in proper control of the vehicle[1].

Hmmm – I got a letter today from the dot tk company – the place that lets you have your own free .tk domain. As I have not had many hits through the URL they are releasing the domain back into the wild….OR I could buy the domain…..Call me cynical, but this sounds like a marketing exercise…It would be interesting to know if people have had LOTS of hits, and therefore have to pay to continue with the registration. Looking at the site they do say that they need 30 unique hits every 90 days 🙁 so I guess I can’t complain (that and it was free).
Note however, that due to this restriction i would certainly not recommend it for a permanent domain
