Fit like loons and quines?
....... or Jukebox Jury?
I couldn't quite decide which byline to use, but either way, it just goes to show how far these little 'toys' have permeated all areas of society.
I wager that this errant young lassie will come to realise just how fundamental Jury Service is as part of a British Citizen's duty.
However, I wonder how much the apparent religious affiliation of the perpetrator had to do with the media interest in this incident. If it had been a chavette in a hoodie would it be so news worthy? Amusing yes, but I cannot help but think that there is an underlying agenda in the reporting.
I rather suspect her fascination with technology and rock'n'roll might not go down so well with her own religion's elders, but it is not as if I haven't suffered the onslaught of modern technology coupled with ancient belief systems, such as when living in an Islamic country I was woken at 5am by Muezzins calling the faithful to prayer from minarets bedecked with multiwatt amplified speakers that wouldn't have looked out of place at Glastonbury. Give me a merry bunch of campanologists any day!
Anyway, help is at hand for the poor wee lassie.
Nevertheless, when the sentencing time comes round I can almost hear the Judge uttering those immortal words of Brummie Janice Nicholls from the contemporary programme 'Spin a Disc', "I'll give it five."
p.s.
Those clever 'Jobbers' have also come up with the latest gizmo for British Airways' check-in staff.

Looking forward to the court case on this latest gizmo inspired by Apple's iPod. Should be a headline writer's godsend!
Well it's that time of year when you parcel up all the new gizmo's for the weans. iPods are all the craze and Foamy gives a seasonal warning here for all those poor folk who absolutely, like, just must have the kewlest of all mp3 players. Personally, for all the reasons he states, I'd recommend the Sandisk Sansa e280 if you've time to get one, it's cheaper, replacement batteries are available at a tenner and you get video playback to boot!
Having said all that, you can now see Foamy's episodes as Podcasts here.
Merry Christmas from all the Toy Town residents.
