Video traps kinky burglar
Police in Kentucky were able to track down a burglar after he left a video of himself committing the crime.
Rodney McMillen, 36, was disturbed by the householder when he committed the break-in, dressed only in a green thong. (why?)
In the rush to escape, he left behind the video, which also included footage of a family party.
Have fun

Want to learn about gear by being a roadie?
Learn lots by being a member of the road crew
Pink Floyd tribute act Us & Them are playing in October at Finn McCools in Weymouth on Saturday 21st. Any Floyd act worthy of the name has tons of specialist equipment and these guys are no exception.
So Us & Them are looking for some road crew. They are after one or two people to help them out at gigs - so it is a part time role in that respect. As they get bigger gigs, any pay can obviously increase.
Could be an opportunity for someone (or two) to learn a bit about the equipment, set up, etc. in a more professional environment, especially given the amount and type of gear they have.
Send your emails direct to Jason if you are interested. jason dot parison@virgin.net.
Obviously fix that email address with a . before trying to use the it though!

God, Music & Games
Has the Pope behaved like an arse?
Pope quotes 14th century Byzantine Emperor Manuel II Palaeologus saying that Mohammad brought evil stuff into the world and spread its faith by the sword; doh, and the Christians didn't?
What about the Spanish in South America forcing the Catholic church on the natives?
Still it is useful to know that both Christians and Muslims claim to be peace loving whilst burning each others churches and Mosques down. What the hell would happen if they were war like?
Does Jesus get a look in on this? As far as I recall he was the chap who said "let him who is without sin cast the first stone". Seems like some of our religous leaders could usefuly return to the texts.
Gigs!
We have absolutely nothing listed for Monday 17th...shame.

Nintendo Wii game machine to hit European stores December 8
LONDON (AFP) - Nintendo says it will launch its next-generation Wii game machine in Europe on December 8, six days after its release in Japan where it will cost 100 dollars less.
The Wii will in Europe carry a recommended retail price of 249 euros (about £170), Nintendo announced at a press conference in London.
The Wii, which allows users to surf the Internet and has a wireless control, will be released in Japan on December 2 at a price of 25,000 yen (212 dollars), Nintendo said Thursday.
It will be launched in the United States on November 19.
Shaped like a television remote control and engineered with motion sensors and speakers, the Wii control enables users to guide game play by moving as if actually wielding swords, swinging golf clubs, or firing weapons.
Sony was meanwhile to release the more expensive next-generation PlayStation 3 on November 11. (Unless the DVD drives flunk out again!)
Enjoy the working week!

Music For Africa Update
We had a quick chat with Tom Toomey who many of you will know as the head of Music For Africa as well as a local performer.
The recent MFA events raised around £10,000 to continue supporting the education work being done in South Africa. In an exciting development, new links are being established in both Gambia and Kenya to continue the good work.
In Gambia plans are under way to establish formal exam grades the african instrument, the Kora. It's early days in Kenya at present but a fact finding trip is planned.
Tom's new CD is now available featuring The Monfi Cats (no they're not really cats but the name of the band). Lots of festival outings are planned for the summer of 2007 and as yet we have not had time to properly listen to the CD! We will do it justice soon!

Auto-eroticism undoes driver
BRATISLAVA (Reuters) - A Slovak driver who crashed into a bus shocked rescuers who found him unconscious and half naked with a vacuum pump on his penis.
Police said the 42-year-old man, driving an old Citroen in the Slovak town of Levice, had ignored a "give way" sign.
"It's very likely he had auto-sex while driving, it is a matter of investigation. After the accident he was found lying in the seat, his pants were off and it (the pump) was placed on his penis," police officer Peter Polak told Reuters.
"I've never seen anything like this, nor have my colleagues," he added.
The man was taken to hospital with (dick) head injuries.

True Tesco story-make you laugh!
This story came in from one of our readers who assures me that it is absolutely true.
A woman complained to an assistant that Tesco had stopped smoking in their coffee shop, saying you can’t stop smoking, you sell cigarettes! To which the assistant replied, we also sell condoms madam but we’ve stopped that in the coffee shop as well!

New theatre company in Somerset
A new theatre company for Somerset is being launched called, Flax303. Flax303 will be based at Take Art in Somerset. Their mission is to present and tour new writing at small scale venues in the South-West and across the UK.
Their first production – The Rain Has Voices – is a newly commissioned play for Somerset, by Shiona Morton. A powerful, absorbing and uplifting drama about family, memory and new beginnings.
The cast of 5 will be touring with the ‘The Rain Has Voices’, which explores the themes of family, memory and new beginnings, on a stormy Midsummer night, as the waters rise around a remote levels village.
For more information on Flax 303 please contact Sarah Peterkin at Take Art on 01460 249450 or sarah@takeart.org.
Pout Tastic!
The size of your pout determines whether you will be lucky in love, according to new research.
Couples whose lips are of a similar size and shape are more likely to stay together. The study was carried out by the University of Leicester on behalf of Blistex. (No suprise then that Blistex make lip care products!)
Men are instantly attracted to women with luscious pouts but don't consider them marriage material - bad news for Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.
Have a great day

What to have under your desk this summer
We saw this at The Register.
Beer machine: Most people keep old files, cycling helmets and discarded sandwich wrappers under their desks. They don't get fired. On the other hand, if you buy a personal mini-micro brewery and keep that under your desk, not only can you have 28 pints of home-brew to hand whenever you want (ie. 9.45am), but your desk will smell of "socks in cabbage water". A P45-earner if we ever saw one. £99.95 from BoysStuff.Have Fun

Fancy a day of music on the Bank Holiday weekend?
Dave Saunders of Mojo promotions sent through this information and we are happy to share it with here.
SUN 27th AUG - DERRIN NAUENDORF + HARRY SKINNER+DAVE SAUNDERS + CRAZY 88 + JINDER + DR STOMP + CHRIS JAGGER BAND + OTHERS.
(12noon - Midnight)
Happy Daze Music Day, The Barn @ Square + Compass, Windmill Hill, Nr Ilminster, Somerset.
01823 480467 All day entry £12.00 From 6pm £10.00 Under 16s £5.00
1pm - 2pm - JINDER
Making his first Somerset appearance since opening for the amazing HazelO'Connor, Bournemouth based Jinder is really making waves in the currentmusic scene, his new solo album 'I'm Alive' was produced by Stephen Smith(Sandi Thom, Gordon Haskell, The Producers, The Pretenders etc) The singlefrom it, 'Hill Country' outsold Morrisseys 'You could have killed me' two toone on its online release and will be available in the shops shortly. Onepraiseworthy review states 'Imagine Ryan Adams soaked in Cider playingLightnin' Hopkins'. They must have known he'd be playing here in Cider country!Forget James Blunt: Jinder is the future of young singer/ songwriters - you saw it here first!
2 - 3pm - CRAZY 88
Another young band severely shakin' the Somerset scene (it needs it too) and building a large and faithful (female!!) following, Crazy 88 are not just another rock covers band, they are serious and inventive musicians, taking great care over their show and presentation. With a great frontman in Ben Smith, a powerful, gutsy, well thought out stage act and their ambition to be 'Somerset's answer to The Hamsters' how can they go wrong! I've seen and enjoyed 'em, now it's your turn.
3.15 - 4.15 - STOMPIN' DAVE ALLEN
Previously known to all as Dr Stomp, Dave has 'stomped' his way through many a festival with his stage show bordering on mania and his stamina bordering on impossible! A multi-instrumentalist but sticking mainly to fiddle, harp and guitar (plus of course the obligitory stompboard) the good Dr has played most of the major festivals in the South including Sidmouth, Larmer Tree the Martyrs Rally, virtually every venue there is and appearedon TV. Fun and frolics all round, bet you won't keep still!
4.30 - 5.30 - DERRIN NAUENDORF
We were very lucky to get Derrin to play here, he has another gig in the evening but agreed to play this slot first for the charity. There can't be many around the country that have not yet seen Derrin's expressive and inventive guitar playing or heard his fantastic voice singing those marvellous songs. From Melbourne, Australia, Derrin has become a regular on the UK touring scene, appearances at pretty near every major UK festival and opening for such luminaries as Van Morrison and Tony Joe White have put him in the fore front of the singer/songwriter genre. I get the feeling all the girls will be at the front for this show!
6.00 - 7.00 - HARRY SKINNER + DAVE SAUNDERS
Frontmen and founders of The Producers Harry and Dave still attract alarge blues following particularly amongst the acoustic afficianados. Davehas just finished a tour with US bluesman Bill Sheffield and Harry has just returned from a festival in the the south of France. The first duo show in Somerset for quite a time will feature Harry's finger picking and Slideguitar with Dave on 2nd guitar and acoustic bass. Their CDs will be on sale as will The Producers back catalogue.
7.30 - 8.30 - BAND STILL TO BE ANNOUNCED
9.15-11.00 - CHRIS JAGGER BAND
OK we know he's got a famous brother right, and he happens to be in the country at the same time but Chris has always forged his own way through life having both a successful career as a journalist and a great love of exploration which has taken him to the far corners of the world. Beside being involved in several Stones albums Chris has released his own solo discs and is often seen onstage in the company of Ben Waters, Charlie Hartand many other musical talents. Playing guitar, washboard and playing arousing mix of Cajunesque rock 'n' roll and good time faves Chris and his band will have you on your feet for a fitting finale to the days music!
Fun music day with Acoustic marquee, Electric music in the Barn, BBQ, bars,food + drink, what more could you ask for? All profits to RNLI.

Wedding Trasher!
Police are trying to find a malicious caller who cancelled a wedding reception just hours before a couple were due to wed.
Emma Moschakis, 25, only found out the evening event had been cancelled by someone who claimed to be her when she went around to the Archers Road social club in Southampton, Hampshire, and was told by staff.
She had arrived on the eve of her wedding to Anthony Moschakis to decorate the room for the reception of 100 guests.

Wedding Trasher!
Police are trying to find a malicious caller who cancelled a wedding reception just hours before a couple were due to wed.
Emma Moschakis, 25, only found out the evening event had been cancelled by someone who claimed to be her when she went around to the Archers Road social club in Southampton, Hampshire, and was told by staff.
She had arrived on the eve of her wedding to Anthony Moschakis to decorate the room for the reception of 100 guests.
Have Fun
