BBC SPORT | Cricket | England A slump to defeat. Is Simon Jones ready for the West Indies after having figures of 0 for 89 off 14 overs?

Ah, the fickel nature of the great game. Jones’ figures – 2 overs 3-3! Perhaps he prefers Caribbean wickets.

I saw this story about an ATM Card Cloning setup on slashdot. Makes you think that you should be more careful when using a cashpoint!

I don’t often rant, but here goes. the two things that bug me about hotels:

1) The “we are oh so green” syndrome: In your bathroom is a sign saying “Save the planet, leave your towles on the floor and stop loads of chlorine being pumped directly in to your childrens’s brain” (or something). Yeah right. Shouldn’t it say “Ask us not to launder your towels and you will get £1 off your bill (or a complementary drink) or something?” Tell me that the hotel isn’t motivated by cost savings. Why can’t they be honest?

2) Shampoo bootles: So why do compomentary shampoo bottles generally have tiny, round, smooth screw tops that are almost impossible to get undone once your hands are wet? Ever heard of flip tops?
