Clip crazy: Ampersand - Fake Motherfuckerz

That's about one month I found this clip on Clubbing TV .

Ampersand - Fake Motherfuckerz

Of merry men are completely Destroys a costume party before going to a box. The costumes are truly original, if wanted to see as crazy views. One can see such a girl, with a sticker on the head and a pacifier in his mouth, walk a plucked chicken and beheaded as a pet. Enjoy!

Survivors, a nice series.

This weekend I discovered Season 1 of the English series Survivors. In this series, which aired on BBC television channel, suddenly the world is ravaged by a strange virus that kills more than 99% of the world population (In these times of swine flu, the subject is well chosen). The "survivors" (We better understand the title of the series) will end up in a world without government, without public service (hot water, transport, electricity, healthcare ...). Some gather to try to rebuild a just society, others prefer to group together to reign in this new world by force.

Survivors

The main characters are very diverse, we find among others:

************************************************** *****************

Warning SPOILER from the pilot episode!

Do not read below if you have not seen the pilot episode and want to find out for yourself. I would add that the pilot episode I had not packed, but I began to appreciate the series from the second episode. So be patient!

************************************************** *****************

Julie Graham Abby Grant (Julie Graham): A mother with faith in humanity. It was she who convinced the other survivors to come together, and it has become sort of the leader of the group. She is looking for his son, Peter, aged 12, who was away from her at the time of the epidemic. This is the only survivors to have caught the disease and to be healed.
Patterson Joseph Greg Preston (Paterson Joseph): A wise man, organized, reassuring. Everybody respects, including the irascible Tom.
Zoe Tapper Dr Anya Raczynski (Zoe Tapper): Young doctor in a hospital before the outbreak. She witnessed the death of thousands of people. Among them were his two best friends.
Max Beesley Tom Price (Max Beesley): This is the most mysterious character, the most unstable of the group. Former prisoner, the virus has allowed his release.
Philip Rhys Al Sadiq (Phillip Rhys): Young singles, old rich heir. He spent his evenings drinking and dredge in the boxes connected to the English capital.
300patel Najid (Chahak Patel): The child group. His father died of the virus.
Robyn Addison Sarah Boyer (Robyn Addison): She comes from a wealthy family. Tall blonde thin the limits of anorexia.
Nikki Samantha Willis (Nikki Amuka-Bird): The only surviving member of the Government's disease.
A series that I highly recommend. Personally, I do not expect one thing: The season two!

RBS: Sir Fred Goodwin, the best retirement in the world?

If you stand abreast of the news, you hear about the case of the golden retreat of the former CEO of RBS, Sir Fred Goodwin.

For those who did not follow, here are two parallel information concerning:

- This genius is largely responsible for the loss record of the bank (28 billion euros).

- He sees his forced departure from (the bank was nationalized to prevent bankruptcy) a "retreat" of £ 693,000 (or € 780,000) per year.

Shocking, is not it?

Let us not dwell on the loss. In this time of crisis, we are accustomed. We will retain it's just a great performance in this area (more than 5 times the loss of Jerome Kerviel Societe Generale signed!). A performance worthy of the Guinness book: Biggest loss ever for a British company.

Rather we are interested in the reward offered to champion:

Retirement at age 50! The pénébilité his work certainly justifies the prematurity of this shutdown.

And above all, a retreat of 780 000 € a year! So yes, for some time, when not talking in billions of euros, we go for smaller players. But still. For those who do not like the numbers, this retreat is about € 2130 per day. SMIC 60 per month. 30 times the best possible gain from the old Tac-o-tac TV! Without having to lift a finger.

The British government tried to give Sir Fred Goodwin to his unjustified windfall. It does not respond.
