Dirty Hair


Prince Harry, 24, said that he had washed his hair 2 years ago for the last time.


He is now living with the army pals & they were askinh him about his unkempt ginger hair. At that time he reavealed his secret.


Harry was celebrating with fellow rooky pilots after completing phase one of their Army Air Corps training at RAF Barkston Heath, Lincs.

More than a dozen of them headed to the Tally-Ho pub in nearby Sleaford where regulars chuckled as Harry became the target of banter.

One pal joked that he was excused a captain's order to get a haircut and Harry bragged that he would not change his look for anyone.


But the biggest laugh came when the Prince, worth £8million, claimed he was short of beer money.


A customer said: "It was hilarious. Here's a bloke who is royalty and he's feeling the pinch. He told his friends, 'I've only brought out £20 with me. That's all I've got'.


"It was all in good fun and Harry took it on the chin."

Domino Pizza's New Kind Of Profit

In UK and Ireland, consumers wants to take dinner in home rather than eating-outside. It boosts pizza's chain's profits.


Domino's Pizza said full-year profits were up by almost a quarter after the fast food chain grew at a rate of a store a week in 2008.


The firm said it planned to open a further 50 stores this year, creating at least another 1,500 new jobs in the UK and Ireland.


Domino's said profits rose to £23.4 million in the 52 weeks to December 28, as consumers abandoned the restaurant sector in the economic downturn and chose to dine at home.


The chain said working people were increasingly reliant on prepared food. It added Domino's has a broadening customer base as the young adults originally attracted to take-away pizza had grown into their 30s, "taking their eating habits with them".


Domino's posted an 18.4% rise in sales in the year and said it had opened a record 52 new stores.


The Domino's announcement comes after fried chicken chain KFC said it planned an expansion which would create up to 9,000 jobs over the next five years as consumers turn to cheaper dining.


And fast food giant McDonald's recently said last year was its "strongest ever" in the UK despite the economic downturn.


Domino's, which has 553 stores in the UK and Ireland run on a franchise basis, said people wanted to "trade down" from going out for a meal but were unwilling to give up entirely on luxuries.


The pizza delivery firm said it had an "exceptional" start to 2009, with like-for-like sales for the first six weeks up 15%. It said a third of the 2.7 million people it delivered to last year were new customers.



At present Domino's Pizza is providing the following service to the customers:

Biggest Library In The World

British Library is of the richest and finest libraries in the world.The library is based in London. It is one of the world's richest research libraries, holding over 150 million items in all known languages and formats; books, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings and much more. It is only second to the American Library of Congress. The British Library's collections include around 25 million books, along with substantial additional collection of books and additional collection of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 300 BC.

The Library was created in 1973 by the British Library Act 1972. Prior to this, the National Library was part of the British Museum, which provided the bulk of the holdings of the new library, alongside various smaller organizations which were folded in (such as the British National Bibliography and India Office Library). For many years its collections were dispersed in various buildings around central London, in places such as Bloomsbury (within British Museum), Chancery Lane, and Holborn, with the lending library at Boston Spa, West Yorkshire and the newspaper library in Colindale, north-west London. Since 1997 the most of the collections have been moved to the present new building on Euston Road next to St. Pancras Railway and Underground station. The purpose built building was designed by architect Colin St. John Wilson . Facing Euston Road is a large piazza that includes pieces of public art, such as large sculptures by Eduardoo Paolozzi and Antony Gormley. The Library has 625 km of shelves and in the middle of the building is a four-storey glass tower containing the King's library, with 65,000 printed volumes along with other pamphlets, manuscripts and maps collected by King George III between 1763 and 1820. Besides the main Library, a researcher or a reader can order materials from other locations of the Library situated in Micawber Street, Woolwich in London or from far away locations such as from Boston Spa, Collindale (for Newspapers), or from Yorkshire. Depending on what you have ordered and from which location the ordered items are delivered between seventy minutes to more than two days. British Library is not an open shelve library, excepting few dictionaries or encyclopedias.


The Library is open on all weekdays excepting Sundays and public holidays. One has to possess a reader's pass which is available free of cost and may have a validity of six months to five years. Normally undergraduate students were not issued a readers pass on the assumption that they have access to their own university library. In England if a University Library did not have a particular title in its own collection it could borrow it from other libraries, including the British Library. Now the British Library allows undergraduate students as long as they have a legitimate personal, work-related or academic research purpose.


Selections from the British Library's manuscripts collection have been made available to download from the internet and gives access to 30,000 images online. The Library's commercial secure electronic delivery service can supply more than one hundred million items for researchers and library patrons worldwide which were previously unavailable outside the Library due to copyright restrictions.


The Library has a permanent Exhibition Gallery called Sir John Ritblat Gallery where important books are on display to the general public. The Library also stages temporary free exhibitions on a wide range of subjects. When I was using the Library last October it was hosting an exhibition titled 'The Ramayana-Love and Valour in India's Great Epic.' The audio-visual gallery was hosting the anti-Vietnam War movement of the sixties in Europe and US. The Library has an excellent gift and coffee shop and the entire building is served by WiFi service. Next time you are in London just take a day off and spend it in the British Library. I can bet you will love to come back. I have regularly done that since 1987 even if I am in London for couple of days.

Presenter of BBC won't plead for calling British PM 'idiot'

BBC television presenter Jeremy Clarkson said that he was sorry for having made fun of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's appearance but he would not apologise for calling him an "idiot".


Clarkson, known as the face of the BBC's top-rated "Top Gear" car show, had described Brown, who lost his sight in one eye in an accident suffered while playing rugby as a teenager, as a "one-eyed Scottish idiot" during a press conference in Sydney.


Clarkson was sharply criticised for the remarks by British politicians and the Royal National Institute of Blind People, and though he issued an apology on Friday, he told The Sun tabloid that he hadn't "apologised for calling him an idiot."


"I very specifically apologised for making fun of his personal appearance -- very specifically," he told the newspaper from his Sydney hotel.


"I have nothing against the Scottish and of course I regret making any remark that might have upset the disabled.


"But the idiot bit -- there is no chance I'll apologise for that."



Lizards Found in Broccoli

A Shropshire family found a lizard on a piece of broccoli - and adopted it as a pet.
Paula Walsh came across the four-inch gecko on the vegetable as her daughter prepared lunch, reports the Daily Telegraph.


She and partner Jez Allen, from Meole Brace, near Shrewsbury, said the family had become very attached to the creature, which they have named Tenko.


"My daughter had been cutting the broccoli for lunch when she screamed, 'Mum come quick, come quick - there's something crawling in the broccoli', I pulled gently and out he came," she said.


A spokesman for Tesco said: "We are glad that Tenko has found a good home after what must have been quite a journey and something of an ordeal.


"Our suppliers of course have rigorous and thorough processes, both in the country of origin and again once the goods have arrived here in the UK.


"This truly goes to show that even with all the expertise, checks and will in the world, it is not always possible to completely legislate for the natural world."

Prince Harry apologises for racist language

Britain's Prince Harry has apologised for using racist language after a Sunday newspaper reported he had filmed himself calling an army colleague a "Paki" and telling another he looked like a "raghead".


The video obtained by the News of the World plunges the 24-year-old prince, the third in line to the throne, into fresh controversy four years after he sparked outcry by wearing a Nazi swastika at a fancy dress party.
The newspaper posted the video on its website and said it was made in 2006 when the prince was still an officer cadet.

It begins as he is waiting with his platoon in an airport departure lounge for a flight to a training exercise in Cyprus.

Touring the room with a video camera as his colleagues snooze, he spots an Asian cadet and says: "Anybody else around here?... Ah, our little Paki friend, Ahmed."
