Prankster Tricks London Gatwick Airport Passengers into Thinking They Were Landing at London Luton Airport!

Passengers landing at Gatwick airport were in a state of panic after an attention seeking youtube prankster / click baiter made large letters saying "welcome to Luton" on the grass under the flight path near Gatwick airport! Air passengers flying into Gatwick were left thinking that they have been diverted to London Luton Airport". It was even reported in the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph, etc. This kinda gotcha gag drives the internet crazy. This viral news story has attracted all the best and worst types of attention.

Petition: Make Peace NOT War! Invite both Ukraine & Russia to join NATO & EU to ensure lasting peace!

The best way to ensure permanent and lasting peace on the European continent, is to let both Ukraine AND Russia join the very organisations that claim to maintain peace and stability in Europe. By being members of NATO and EU, they would not be allowed to implement any hostilities against each other, and because the people's of Ukraine and Russia, and indeed the wider Baltic region, are very closely linked with trade, historically, religion and heritage, it will ensure that The People's wishes are put first, not power hungry politicians or headline grabbing mainstream media!   SIGN PETITION HERE: https://chng.it/W8SqVd5McC There are very few, if any, citizens that want war! As usual it is the politicians and mainstream media on both sides beating the war drums - let's put a stop to their madness together! Let us stop the politicians from creating bogeymen to scare us into voting for them with!

Has Corporate SA Been Infected by ANC Corruption, Greed & Negligence? Dimension Data NTT Case Study

The Untouchables in a Gangster's Paradise? Is it reasonable or ethical to make use of companies that do not consider themselves to be held accountable, for their actions in any private or public enterprise? While Big Tech like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Youtube and Instagram has become seemingly untouchable, even from the US Supreme Court or Whitehouse, the same culture of supremacy, greed, lack of accountability, lack of transparency, and lack of responsibility seems to have created and sustained an environment in South Africa where IT negligence is acceptable, and lack of accountability is the norm, even when it comes to government institutions, contracts and tenders. Just a few of the institutions in South Africa that have had their systems breached just over the last few weeks include: Transnet, Department of Justice, SA Space Agency, African Bank to name but a few, so the situation in South Africa has really gotten serious, yet no one is talking about it, especially not…

So you need to pack? Here are a few handy tips to make sure your trip is a success

Do you find yourself thinking for days on end about things you will need on the trip and telling yourself "I must remember to pack that"? Have you arrived and discovered "oops I should have packed that"? There is a simple solution and it works, especially if it's keeping you up at night before the trip - write it down. Yes, make a list, add to it whenever you have an idea that I must pack this, and take it with you. When you get there and think I should have, add it to that list and keep it in one of those pockets in your favourite bag or case so next time, you won't forget. When you are doing that last-minute dash instead of running around in circles you can check your list and feel far more at ease and only have to deal with the excitement or nerves of the trip itself. A pen and paper or even a note taken on your phone can help in all sorts of ways. Making notes, or even doodling on the trip itself when you are waiting is a great time to put some thoughts in order or make pl…
