Blink an eye ;)

Blink of an eye can earn you money!!

I recently read in London Metro a strange concept to win some extra cash.

An online beauty boutique offers people money if you display the logo of their firma on your eyelids.

Strange concept to advertise! But good for anyone who want to earn some extra pennies.

The company pays you 10p per wink provided you paste their logo on your eyelids. Not a bad idea ‘Pay per wink’.

If anyone has tried please do let know.

Bush Booted Out!!

President Bush made a surprise last trip to Iraq on Sunday. He and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki signed a ceremonial copy of a U.S.-Iraq security agreement.

The president highlighted a drop in violence and to celebrate U.S.-Iraq security agreement, which calls for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq by the end of 2011.

President Bush staunchly defended a war that has taken far more time, money and lives than anticipated, but he received a taste of local resentment toward his policies when an Iraqi journalist hurled two shoes at him at a news conference.

Just after Bush finished his remarks and said "Thank you" in Arabic, an Iraqi journalist took off his shoes and threw them at Bush, one after the other.

Throwing a shoe at someone is considered the worst possible insult in the Middle East and is meant to show extreme disrespect and contempt.

The man, identified as Muntadar al-Zaidi, a reporter with the Cairo-based al-Baghdadia television network, yelled in Arabic as he threw the first shoe. Bush ducked and narrowly missed being hit.

Bush escaped injuries and instead joked about the incident minutes later and said "If you want the facts, it's a size 10 shoe that he threw. Thank you for your concern; do not worry about it."

Freedom of expression

Hundreds of Iraqis joined anti-US demonstrations to protest at Bush's farewell visit on Sunday to Iraq.

Mr. Zaidi risks a minimum of two years in prison if he is prosecuted for insulting a visiting head of state.

In Libya, a charity headed by Moamer Kadhafi's daughter Aisha announced it was going to award Zaidi an "order of courage" for his actions and in Lebanon, the Shiite militant group Hezbollah said the journalist should be regarded as a hero.

But everyone must realize that Mr. Zaidi’s new found freedom of expression was due only to the White House foreign policy and if he had tried shoeing President Saddam before the invasion, he and his extended family would all have been murdered without any trace!

Unjust Exit!

Born in Spain singing English songs since the age of one, Ruth Lorenzo’s performances last Saturday the 29th of November'08 did not deserve her exit from the X-Factor.

It was quite shocking to observe the voting pattern in X-Factor, it is so regionally based and for a singer from Spain it was a sad goodbye.

The question was simple lack of British support!!

She said: "I fought with all my heart, with everything I had. And this doesn't end here. This is the beginning of my dream.All I can say is thank you so much. I never ever dreamed of this ever."

Let's see justice for the singers of the world.

Rather supporting her to make it through to the final it is so blatantly obvious that the best talent is booted out.

People this is unfair to let go of such an excellent singer.

The X-Factor is all about talent and not boundaries.

In my opinion she was far better than some contestants and she's out simply because she is spanish and singing in a British show!!!!

Do you doubt her brilliant, heartfelt performances?

I wish you every success and happiness Ruth.
