Gecko man & its a soggy Saturday

Gecko's you see them climbing the walls or appearing to be motionless waiting for their prey to come along.

They catch all manner of bugs and are normally left alone even in houses, harmless things.  I did see one tripadvisor write up about a Greek woman on a Maldive holiday who complained she couldn't go into the bathroom because there was one in there!


The way the Gecko climbs however is the inspiration behind this story where hand sized silicone pads mimic the gecko's "technology" and allow the man in the pic to "climb" up what looks like a very shiny wall.
"climb" should be a loosely applied term because you can see his feet are on the rungs of what appear to be a ladder.   Impressive non the less - - -

This is Shane Coffey from the USA who travelled to the UK in April this year with the sole intention of attacking 2 people with a knife he had met through online gaming .
Although the 2 victims both sustained injuries the assailant was arrested and is now in prison.  - - - the obvious moral of this story is be careful who and how you communicate with on the internet - - -

The media are in overdrive to savage Emily Thornberry and the Labour party are in overdrive on a damage limitation exercise to play down the effect of Thornberry's remark and resignation from her shadow cabinet post.
Champagne Socialist's Property Empire  is the title of the Mails vicious dismantling of her reputation with some startling facts about how she had become one if Big Ed's (Miliband's) elite champions and supporters.  
The final couple of paragraphs sink their teeth further into Big Ed though as they report how he saved his own skin by insisting Thornberry resign.  with the last paragraph as usual hammering in the final nail to her coffin with " The last thing the beleaguered old style Hampstead socialist needed was a blundering Islington Champagne socialist to demonstrate how utterly out of touch his party is with so many British people" - - -

With the flash on to illuminate the rain we got a real drenching yesterday.
The rain gauge on my weather station clocked up 11.4mm of rain between 17:00 yesterday and 03:00 this morning.
Soggy stats then this morning with the rain gauge showing almost half an inch of rain in the last 24 hrs.
 the weathercam view is restricted by the fog to around 200 metres with the forecasters only predicting light rain today .

Enjoy the day
