Viruses

Viruses
Why am I getting so many viruses these days. They are all the same one as well....subject line is always either "important" or "instructions" and the attached file is always a zip. Do these twats honestly think I'm going to open a zip from someone I don't even know? Shit, I don't even open zips from people I do know unless I have requested the zip myself. Can they not be a bit more original? Change the subject line a bit more?

Soggy cornflakes.
Forgot all about the cornflakes I poured earlier and now they are soggy. Still, I'm hungry and they are going to get a bit more than soggy by the time they come out the other end.

Radical cleric Abu Hamza arrested

Preacher Abu Hamza to face court

Radical Muslim preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri is to appear before magistrates in the first stage of a process to extradite him to the United States.
The 47-year-old was seized by police at his home in west London at 0300 BST on Thursday.

Mr Abu Hamza, who preaches outside the Finsbury Park mosque in north London, is wanted for questioning in the US in connection with terrorism allegations.

He is currently appealing against removal of his UK citizenship.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said Mr Abu Hamza's home was being searched by anti-terrorist officers under the Extradition Act 2003.

The street near the house is cordoned off and a number of items have been seized, including videos, documents and a briefcase.

BBC social affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford said the extradition was said to relate to terrorism.

Thursday's hearing before Bow Street magistrates sitting at Belmarsh will determine whether Mr Abu Hamza is granted bail.

The US authorities have been collecting evidence against Mr Abu Hamza and this was likely to be the start of a lengthy court battle, he added.

It is likely to be several months before a formal committal hearing at which a district judge will look at the evidence and decide whether it is strong enough for extradition.

The Egyptian-born preacher is at the centre of a deportation battle with the Home Office, which wants to remove his citizenship, gained through marriage in 1981.

The government claims that he has provided support and advice to terrorist groups, including al-Qaida.

He had been a regular preacher at the Finsbury Park mosque until he was banned by the Charity Commission in February 2003.

It accused him of abusing his position for "personal and political, rather than charitable purposes".

But Mr Abu Hamza has continued to preach to worshippers outside the mosque, which was closed for repairs after a police raid in January 2003.

His controversial sermons have attracted much hostility from sections of the press and he has been criticised by many British Muslim leaders.

But Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said it was still important that the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" be observed.

"He has certainly made provocative statements... but we need to be very clear [about the difference] between those remarks, that are perhaps deeply offensive to us, and whether there has been a breach of law," he told BBC News.

"I think for any British citizen, irrespective of where you come from, what your feelings are, what your thoughts are, the law should be applied equally."

Mr Abu Hamza's lawyer, Muddassar Arani, said she had been surprised by the arrest and knew nothing of the charges.

She spoke to her client by telephone and said: "He is quite calm about it. He said: 'Take your time and come down whenever you can'."

She told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that extradition would have to be based on something that had happened in the US.

"I really can't comment on what is being alleged to have happened in America," she said.

I'll be glad to see that back of that prat.
