 Dead End. Batman versus - well, everything nasty. I know, it has been blogged to death, but this is the best (Film-) Batman ever. And the best Joker, played by Walter Koenig's (Chekov - Star Trek: The Original Series) son Andrew Koenig. You now have the option of a 48MB download or a full screen 160MB download. Guess it's your choice. And no spoilers here.Movie directed by Sandy Collora, featuring Clark Bartram as The Batman. Picture taken from the OSG Forum

 Belgian fun. Have a look at An A to Z of Belgium. Found at My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.Delhaize: A supermarket invented by the devil to torture his subjects. Offers every shopping frustration imaginable, from lack of baskets to severe aisle congestion. Home to the most spectacularly slow checkout queues in the universe. Horrid horrid place. July: The wettest month of the year in Belgium - a fact only really appreciated by anyone who has tried to block book a fixed hour on an outdoor tennis court for the whole summer season. Post Office: A building that is almost always closed. On the off chance that it is actually open, post office customers can expect the usual queueing problems and a severely incremental and erratic pricing system for overseas mail. This seems to be based on the mysterious Belgian "standard" envelope, an object carefully designed to ensure that any card purchased in a Belgian card shop will automatically fail to qualify as regular mail.

 The streets of London. Wow. The guys down at The British Library must have been really busy. They've put about 670 of 1200 historical London maps of The Crace Collection online, zoomable and searchable. This is fantastic. Found at the Map Room.This is the essential guide to the development of the capital from the 16th to the 19th centuries, brought together by the Victorian designer, Frederick Crace.

 Flying Machines are at flyingmachines.org. Welcome to the Flying Machines web site. Before the Wright Brothers achieved the first successful heavier-than-air controlled flight on December 17, 1903, hundreds of women and men attempted to fly, in airships, gliders and aeroplanes, and many did go aloft in gas and hot-air balloons. This site documents a number of those pre-Wright attempts at heavier-than-air flight, as well as significant events and thoughts which contributed to the ultimate success of powered, heavier-than-air human flight.

 So you're still on dial-up then? Or what? This is ridiculous. Who are those 'biggest firms'? Railtrack? NatWest? Then I'm not surprised. Idiots. E-mail abuses cost UK firms millions. Time wasters [The Register]This overuse, along with poorly written mails, can cost some companies up to £10,000 per person, per annum, senior staff at some of Britain's biggest firms told Emphasis. One FTSE 100 firm reported annual e-mail costs of £39 million.

 Oi mate, you looking at my bird! A dictionary of London Slang. Fantastic.The English language contains a rich array of slang words and phrases. This can be particularly seen when examining the day to day language of the average Londoner. A great many London slang terms derive from the Cockney tradition and fall into the bracket of 'Rhyming Slang'. Other terms have been introduced by the influx of other cultures into the capital. The resulting mishmash has created what academics sometimes call 'Estuary English' (after the area of the Thames Estuary), although this term is used more to describe the accent used in the area.
