With news about the personal life of the next head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, having been removed from Facebook making the headlines today. One has to ask how long before we all have to officially declare what social networks we belong to or other cyber data that may be out there.

As a civil servant I already have to declare what radical political party I belong to, or membership of 'subversive' groups like the Freemasons etc. So how would you feel if you had to declare every minute detail of you personal life to ensure your employment?

BERLIN (AFP) – A German gardener's house was left a smouldering wreck on Friday after he set it on fire while trying to get rid of the weeds with the help of a flame-thrower, police said.

After accidentally setting his hedge alight, the 54-year-old's garden shed was soon also engulfed in flames and despite efforts to extinguish the fire with a garden hose, the blaze spread to the roof of the house.

Seven firemen were needed to put out the blaze in Tangstedt near Hamburg in northern Germany, which occurred on Thursday. Police said the house was now uninhabitable.

Flame-throwers are used widely in agriculture and also in gardening, but generally only for removing weeds from between cracks in paving in driveways and patios.

A new game show starts in Turkey in September where they take 10 antheists and subject them to a Muslim imam, a Christian priest, a rabbi and a Buddhist monk in attempt to convert them.

The bit that made me think was the the selection process that envolves a team of theologians who will ensure that the atheists are truly non-believers and are not just seeking fame. Just how do you do that?
I had a vision of the Monty Python Spanish Inquisition sketch for some reason.

Have you ever had 5 minutes of fame?
Care to share the experience?

The weirdest one I can claim is that I appear in the 1985 Club 18-30 brochure having been photographed the previous year.

I have also appeared on a TV quiz show, only to be edited out.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, they have just released Dr Who's travel expenses..... Apparently a lot of them are back-dated.

The sad news of Michael Jackson's death is overshadowed by the vulgar amount of money being banded about, for which he earned, then lost before finally getting into debt.

Over his 40 year reign of the pop industry he has earned in excess of $700m, which would equate to $47,912 a day. But now it has been revealed that he proberbly owes between $300m-$500m to creditors.

The question is who now picks up the pieces? Will his back catalogue be used to pay back a lot of what he owes, and what will be left for his off spring?
