Rabbit Thought of the Day

That’s it for me, all my allotted tasks have been completed, I have moved all my projects notes and important emails to a folder on the shared server in case any body needs to see them. So that’s it for nothing more to do, I have to return my laptop and phone this afternoon, so I am now in the process of deleting any personal files or emails off here to avert any embarrassment. You know what us men are like, sending rather risqué emails out, even though it is against company policy.  

It’s very quiet in the office today as well, not many people about; there will be even less soon, because I am not planning on hanging too long. I’ll just tidy my little area make sure all my drawers are empty and I'll have done every thing required of me and quietly sneak out the door.

A woman gave birth at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, in the international arrivals section. The 28-year-old mother had just arrived from Gambia to apply for asylum in the United States.

Fatou Jaw and her three children were waiting processing when she went into labour and gave birth to a boy before paramedics could arrive.

If there was a jobs worth there he would probably refuse them entry due to fact that the baby didn’t have a passport. Or the baby would be arrested for entering into America illegally

About an hour ago while I was contemplating on what to do I was tasked with producing a ‘Contractor Proposals’ document for the one remaining project I am looking after (well for today anyway), this is definitely my final task. Basically it means taking a similar document from another project and amending to suit this job. It’s neither a very arduous task nor a very long one, so I am trying to drag it as long as possible. Oh well it gives me something to do for the rest of the day.

The last remaining survivor of the Titanic plans to sell mementoes from the ship to pay her nursing home fees. Now 96, Millvina Dean was nine weeks old when the liner sank in the North Atlantic in 1912.

She hopes to raise £3,000 by selling items including a suitcase full of clothes given to her by the people of New York after her rescue. The auction in Wiltshire will also feature compensation letters sent to her mother by the Titanic Relief Fund.

They explained that she would be awarded one pound, seven shillings and six pence per week. Several rare prints of the Titanic - including one of it leaving the White Star dock in Southampton - will also go under the hammer. Miss Dean moved into a private nursing home in Ashurst, Hants, two years ago.

She told the Southern Daily Echo: "I was hoping to be here for two weeks after breaking my hip, but I developed an infection and have been here for two years. I am not able to live in my home any more.

"I am selling it all now because I have to pay these nursing home fees and am selling anything that I think might fetch some money." The Dean family were emigrating to Kansas when the Titanic went down.

Miss Dean was placed in a sack and carried to safety along with her mother and brother. But her father Bertram was one of more than 1,500 people who died. The auction will take place at Henry Aldridge and Son auctioneers in Devizes, Wilts, on Saturday.

Andrew Aldridge said: "The suitcase is a very emotive and unusual item and epitomises what the people of New York did for the Titanic survivors.

"It also highlights what state the survivors were in when they got to New York. Many people lost everything down to the clothes they were standing in."

Miss Dean is the last survivor of the Titanic after Barbara Dainton, from Cornwall, died last year aged 96.

A British man and woman have been sentenced to three months in jail in Dubai after being found guilty of having sex on a beach. Michelle Palmer, 36, of Oakham, Rutland, and Vince Acors, 34, of Bromley, south-east London, were arrested on 5 July.

The pair had denied charges of public indecency and having unmarried sex.

They were fined 1,000 dirhams (£160;$350) and will be deported after serving their sentences. The pair were not at Dubai's Court of First Instance to hear the ruling but had been ordered not to leave the emirate.

Their defence lawyer Hassan Matter had insisted they would be proved innocent and said they were upset by the verdict. "We are making an appeal against the verdict. They have not been arrested and taken into custody yet," he said.  "I have 15 days to appeal. I have to find the reason why the judge gave three months."

The pair were arrested on Jumeirah Beach hours after meeting at a champagne brunch at Dubai's five-star Le Meridien hotel. police officer told the court he had warned the pair about their inappropriate behaviour, but returned later to find them having sex on a sun lounger. Palmer, who was sacked from her job in Dubai as a publishing executive after her arrest, said in a statement she and Acors had been "just kissing and hugging".

Mr Matter said witness statements, including one from the police officer, were "wrong" and medical examinations had proved Palmer had not had sex on the beach. Friends of Palmer say she has been admitted to hospital in recent weeks suffering from anxiety and depression. The case has turned the spotlight on the lifestyle of the 120,000 British residents of the United Arab Emirates.

The BBC's Christian Fraser, in Dubai, says there have been concerns lately that tourists are ignoring the emirate's strict Islamic laws and that the outcome of this case will be a warning that such drunken behaviour will not be tolerated in public.

If you live and work in foreign countries then  you must abide their laws, or suffer the consequences.

England has managed another win, as Victor Meldrow would say ‘unbelievable’. Yesterday stand in skipper Rio Ferdinand had a go at previous England’s management stating it was like a circus and the players were most interested in looking and their so called wife’s and girlfriends (wags) than in playing football. He stated what we have known for years Fabio Capello has obviously put a stop to that attitude and its paying dividends, the best start to a world qualifying campaign ever, 4 straight wins.  

Thursday morning and my leaving time is getting ever closer, my countdown clock is now reading 1 day, 5 hours, 7 minutes and 40 seconds that’s if I leave at midday on Friday, however I have spoken with my line manager and we have agreed that I needn’t come in tomorrow. One, I wouldn’t have anything to do and two; I won’t have a computer, maybe not even a desk. So it does seem a pointless coming in when I have nothing to do, what can do they anyway, sack me.
