From the page: “A woman who became pregnant after a one-night stand has been given the right to keep the birth a secret from the father.

The Court of Appeal ruling came after a county court ordered the 20-year-old to tell both her parents and the father.

The three appeal judges agreed “the ultimate veto” over who is told about the birth lay with the mother.

Fathers’ groups said the ruling treated the child as the property of the mother “to be disposed of as she sees fit”.”

I’m really not sure how I feel about this, on one hand I feel it’s a matter of choice, but on the other, I know as a father I should need to know.

From the page: “Last night I downloaded the latest beta release from Mozilla, Firefox 3 Beta 1, meaning to just have a look-see so that I could pen a few impressions. Since then, I haven’t bothered to load up Firefox 2 because, even though it’s a pre-production test version, Firebox 3 Beta 1 is a mighty fine browser.”

From the page: “A 15-YEAR-old girl was put in a Brazilian jail cell with more than 20 men, and for a month was raped relentlessly and forced to have sex for food, human rights groups say.

“She was raped from day one” at the jail in Para state, a Children and Adolescent Defence Centre (Cedeca) spokeswoman said.

The number of men in the cell varied from 20 to 34 while the girl, a robbery suspect, was there.”

Kolin used to work for me in the games industry. He’s a great guy (even though he’s a Liverpool fan) and is becoming a remarkable photographer.

My mother tells me that my toy bear as a small child was a panda, which might explain why I’ve always had a soft spot for them.

he prospect of England hiring a foreign coach used to be unthinkable, yet now none of the leading candidates for the vacant post are home-grown.

Jose Mourinho, Phil Scolari, Guus Hiddink, Fabio Capello and Northern Ireland’s Martin O’Neill are the favourites for Steve McClaren’s former job, with Stuart Pearce and Alan Shearer trailing behind them as the best-placed Englishmen.
