Three killed in gunfight on Israeli/Egyptian border as Muslim Brotherhood declares victory in Egypt elections

30 07 2012

Three killed in gunfight on Israeli/Egyptian border as Muslim Brotherhood declares victory in Egypt elections – This was the headline to the story reported in the UK by the very objective media body known as the Daily Mail. The two stories have no connection at all but I suppose it does the audience in the UK. The above was posted on the Daily Mail website on the 18th June. The headline has changed since then however.

O.I.E – Egypt Olympic team get ‘fake’ Nike kit

28 07 2012

‘Just do it’ is the official tagline for Nike, one of the largest sports sports wear manufacturers in the world. However I am sure their tagline did not refer to ‘if you do not have the money, then just do it and buy the counter fit from China’. This is exactly what had happened to some of the Egyptian Olympians attending the Olympics London 2012.

I am not a big fan of these multi-national sports wear companies charging ridiculously over priced goods that have 100s of percentages of mark-up profit and paying pennies to their oversees slaves.

The incident of fake products was only noticed when one of the workout bags had a big Nike logo on it but only to find an Adidas zipper stuck to the bag. I wonder it would have made any difference to the performance of the athlete by using much cheaper branded product. This begs the question if we are paying for the product, which should be the actual value of the product or we actually paying for the logo which determined by a price tag only.

Extra hour of sleep

30 04 2011

The Council of Ministers have decided to cancel Daylight Savings Time so clocks will not roll forward by an hour in Spring. The good news is that we all get an extra hour of sleep!

I actually never understood why in the Middle East we needed the clocks to go back and forth to save day light. I suppose it is a positive step in the right direction to move away from imitation.
