Lyons & Co., an Electronic History
- a very British institution that sadly fell to the recession in the late 70's. I came to the UK in '78 as a wee nipper and caught the last of this company - it seemed the name was everywhere in quiet little village shops, tea shops in the towns, on tv, and on posters thru' London. Lyons even had the first business computer evar! Lyons Maid! Lyons Tea! Then it was gone.

Dictator of the Month
presents dictators from leading to least, consumate to crap. They're all here, folks: the oppressors, autocrats, despots, monarchs, potentates and tyrants of the world since 1900 (because adding *all* of them since the beginning of recorded history would probably be a bit of a tough task). "Biographies and picture galleries of both historical and current leaders- from the more obscure Maumoon Gayoom of the Maldives to the most notorious like Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union."
Saparmurat Atayevich Niyazov, otherwise known as Turkmenbashi, was dictator of the month January 2005. No doubt he'll swing round again because, well, he's just so fucking crazy.
