I have a lot of 'spare time' in my work which I could better use in utilising my brain in other things.
Any tips on good news sites (world, dutch, uk, wales) or as amatter of fact any other interesting things.
There is probably a thread for this but I can't really be arsed to trawl through evrything.. time is money.

Headlines like 'Is Kelly Osbourne morphing into Beth Ditto?'...
I think not

+3, and I don't even live there.
Seriously, though, if I actually want to know what's going on in the world (as opposed to someone's biased
opinion as to what's going on in the world), that's where I get it.

I am a big fan of the Guardian's
Comment is Free. Good variety of opinion on a wide range of topics and it's fully interactive - often the best stuff is in the comments.

I remember during Iraq war 2.0, there was a story going around about the US dropping a bomb on a hospital, lots of people hurt. US denied it.
CNN: Iraq says bombing happened. US denies the incident, interview with US government official denying it. Next story...
BBC: Iraq says bombing happened. US denies the incident. Here's some video of the incident. Here's the damaged hospital. Here's the crater of a bomb. Here's people hurt.
After that, I gained huge respect for the Beeb. Very straightforward, to the point and honest.
