Jemima Khan Angry on Tiwtter Allegations

Jemima Khan Angry on Tiwtter Allegations

Jemima Khan said she was "trapped in a bloody nightmare" after finding herself at the center of false twitter allegations that she had an affair with Jeremy Clarkson.

hen Jemima Khan tweeted a denial that she had taken out a super-injunction to suppress pictures of herself with Jeremy Clarkson, she unwittingly poured petrol on the flames of the growing row over how Twitter is being used to get round gagging orders being taken out by the rich and famous.

Her first tweet at the weekend ran: "OMG - Rumour that I have a super injunction preventing publication of "intimate" photos of me and Jeremy Clarkson. NOT TRUE!"

Then: "I have no super injunction and I had dinner with Jeremy and his wife last night. Twitter, Stop!" On Monday morning, she tweeted again: "I've woken up trapped in a bloody nightmare."

By then, she was responding to stories in newspapers and other media - including BBC News - that a Twitter user had named several stars that had taken out super-injunctions.

The Daily Mail splashed the story on its front page: "Gagging law stars 'outed' on Twitter: Thousands see the names of celebrities alleged to have taken out injunctions."

The Daily Telegraph printed pictures of Khan and Clarkson on its front page under the headline "Gagging order? Not me, says Jemima."

Some experts professed surprise that the naming of super-injunction stars had suddenly become such a big story.

The BBC's Rory Cellan-Jones, on his personal Twitter feed, wrote: "Rather weird that Twitter has been alive with super-injunction details for weeks - but one new account with inaccurate reports is news."

This was picked up in turn by Roy Greenslade in his Guardian blog: "The sudden discovery that the names of various people whose identities are protected by injunctions are available on Twitter is baffling. Names - some accurate, many inaccurate - have been flying around the net for weeks."

Son writes off dad's £275,000 supercar

Son writes off dad's £275,000 supercar

20-year-old writes off dad's £275,000 supercar

It's never pleasant telling someone you've crashed their car - but imagine telling dad you've just written off his £275,000 Gumpert Apollo.
That's what a 20-year-old German man has to do - after he was lucky to escape with his life.
The man, who has not been named, was driving his father's rare supercar when he lost control of it. A 19-year-old girl was with him in the passenger seat.
Amazingly, both escaped with only minor injuries, despite the car being a complete write off.
The driver lost control of the car on a bend and came off the road, spraying parts of the car up to 100-foot away.

Police are currently investigating if excessive speed caused the crash, which happened in the German town of Brokdorf, around 50 miles north of Hamburg. The road has a 50mph limit.
The Gumpert Apollo is famous in Britain for taking the Top Gear track lap record in 2008, with a time of 1:17.1. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and the Ariel Atom V8 have since usurped it.
The Apollo has a 225mph top speed and is powered by a 4.2-litre twin turbo V8 engine, from Audi. Three versions are available: a basic one with 641bhp, a Sport version with 690bhp and a Race version with 789bhp. It's capable of hitting 62mph in under three seconds.

Get A Grip Nation - Cherish The Good Times!

Well I already wrote before when I saw the silly Pepsi ad that what if we end up losing against India? Will we again blame our team and curse them like the ancient routine?

I am more than happy with my team and Shahid Afridi. Let us all look back and remember that when the team went for the World Cup, all the so called critics made fun of the team that it was a 'tooti phooti' team. No body even expected them to make it to the semi finals in the first place.

In fact, I really felt for Afridi when the poor man had to apologize to his nation for not winning the match against India because he knows back home people are so emotional and sentimental.

My issue is not with the cricket team but with the nation itself who can not take a game as a game. When they win, everybody wants to take the credit on their prayers but if they will lose then it is because they have fixed the match. No other nation reacts like this...England, Australia, West Indies, New Zealand - they love cricket too immensely but no body reacts the way we do. In fact, just look at the irony that cricket is England's national game and the country has not won a single world cup as yet but their nation does not curse them.

Let us not even bring the political shit here because that too has it toll on our team quite often but it is our behavior as a nation that sucks. Very snobbish facebook and twitter updates way before the match even began were posted. People were using words like 'badlay ki pyas'. 'Munni teri badnam hai or Sheila teri jawan hai'. Along with it, the advertisers also capitalized on the over all cheapness to trigger more sentiments of hatred.

Then we lost. People started changing their green pictures on networking sites immediately. They posted their team lost on purpose. They think the match was fixed. My friends - who are now restricted to social networking sites posted 'Today cricket died'. Then they followed everybody's message and posted, 'We love Shahid Afridi and he should not say sorry'. Next they posted 'Let us all wear our green shirts to support Shahid Afridi'.

I just feel there is too much of confusion. Everybody is following each other blindly. Don't you have a friggin brain of your own. Can't you stick to what you believe. Do you believe in cricket or is it about your own individual egos?

Yes, it hurts to lose an important match. We had a great opportunity to win the world cup after 1992 but come on, get a grip and become more sane. It is more important to cherish the good times than to miserably look at the bad stuff.

I think Shahid Afridi was the most impressive dude ever this time round. His comments and conferences were amazing. He spoke like a true sportsman and has this genuineness about him. Totally cute! Loved his response!

America's Most Miserable Cities 2011

 America's Most Miserable Cities 2011

Arnold Schwarzenegger was sworn in as the governor of California at the end of 2003 amid a wave of optimism that his independent thinking and fresh ideas would revive a state stumbling after the recall of Gov. Gray Davis.
The good vibes are a distant memory: The Governator exited office last month with the state facing a crippling checklist of problems including massive budget deficits, high unemployment, plunging home prices, rampant crime and sky-high taxes. Schwarzenegger's approval ratings hit 22% last year, a record low for any sitting California governor.
California's troubles helped it land eight of the 20 spots on our annual list of America's Most Miserable Cities, with Stockton ranking first for the second time in three years.

 No. 5: Sacramento, Calif.
No state taxes $50,000 of income like California, with a rate of 9.55% for that middle-class tax bracket. Sacramento is a one-team sports town, and that team has been awful in recent years. The NBA's Kings have won just 26% of their games the past two-plus seasons.

 No. 4: Modesto, Calif.
The median home was valued at $275,000 in 2006; today it is $95,000. And don't leave your car on the street in Modesto, where 3,712 vehicles were stolen in 2009, making for the second-highest auto theft rate in the country. It ranked first in four of the previous five years.

 No. 3: Merced, Calif.
The economic downturn and busted housing market hit Merced harder than any other area in the country. Average unemployment of 16.2% since 2008 is the highest in the U.S., as is the city's 64% drop in median home prices

 No. 2: Miami, Fla.
The sun and lack of a state income tax are the only things keeping Miami out of the top spot. Foreclosures hit one in 14 homes last year. Corruption is also off the charts, with 404 government officials convicted of crimes this decade in South Florida.

No. 1: Stockton, Calif.
Unemployment has averaged 14.3% the past three years, which is third worst in the country among the 200 largest metro areas. The housing market collapsed as well, with home prices down 58% over the same time. All the California cities on the list are struggling with the inherent problems the state is facing, including high sales and income taxes and service cuts to help close massive budget shortfalls.

15 Things You Didn’t know About The Simpson

Silent Spectators

We all know that Pakistan is going through a very bad phase. We all are worried about it, as we do not know whether we can get out of this mess or not. I think Pakistan is a very unlucky country, because people haven’t been that patriotic. Had we loved our country, things would have been different. Many have left the country & the ones who could have made a difference are corrupt, besides being rotten to the core.

We often badmouth about the politicians & leaders. Where do they come from? Who gives them the vote? It seems people are not at all capable of thinking. We have educated jahils…that too is a problem, but they aren’t many. Most of the population is illiterate. However, no one seems to care about this country. We are divided right from the beginning…this is Sindhi, this is Punjabi, so on & so forth.

When I was working in the ad agency, someone asked me to teach the boy who used to bring tea. He was like…you must do this in your free time. I told him that he also knows his ABC & he could do that too in his free time rather than giving advice to me.

My friend’s father has taught 3 boys in his lifetime & he doesn’t go around asking others to do this or that. Those 3 boys were his servants & all of them have now 2 certificates, because of his hard work & dedication. Anyone can do anything on a small scale, if he/she is willing. But in our part of the world, people just love to give advice to others & do nothing themselves.

And believe me it’s very true that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. My father once passed a judgment against the government. And he was suspended. He did file a case against the government & it took him 8 years, but he won the case in the Supreme Court. He suffered for 8 years, but he kept on fighting. But we have people who can’t think of filing a suit against the government or anyone or anything that is wrong.

If you strongly believe in any cause, I’m sure there is always a way to help out. We can’t always work on a massive scale, but if one person does even 1 small thing, that would make a difference. Unfortunately, I just have the example of 2 people.

Other than myself, I have met so far 3 ladies at the clinic who are looking after more than 20 or 30 animals. They are all foreigners, not one Pakistani.Only Marina Khan is one Pakistani who genuinely loves animals. Now what I’m getting at is this…I have met innumerable people claiming to love strays, but when it comes to providing home to some stray, they all disappear. But yeah when they want to give advice, which no one asks for…they are always around. Which is why I have a rep of picking fights just like Salman Khan & Russeell Crowe.

Once I was watching this trailer in which Sunny Deol says that if someone rapes my mother, I can’t stay quiet & naturally I will fight with those bastards. This dialogue might seem too much, but what is happening here? Our country is plundered, looted & yes raped by its very own people. And what are we doing? We are silent spectators. We only preach to others. We don’t do anything ourselves. Many have abandoned this country.

I truly believe that if Jinnah had lived a little longer, this country would have been so much better. I do not believe in miracles & it requires a lot of courage to bring about a revolution. Innocent people are being killed every day & the government makes sure that the common man is burdened with the payments of bills & increasing prices of essential commodities & food that he doesn’t have the energy to think about anything else.

I just wish that 2010 turns out to be a better year for Pakistan. You know I am not ashamed of my country. I am ashamed of the people who keep mum when they see something wrong. I am ashamed of the shameless successive governments who have been stealing from the country & never taking any action that is required. I am ashamed of people who keep asking others to do a thing that must be done rather than moving their own butts. I think Pakistan deserves better people. It just hasn’t been that lucky.

"Remember that you are needed. There is at least one important work to be done that will not be done unless you do it."

Cheap Thrills

As I signed in on facebook today one of my colleagues had shared a link with everyone about a news report that was aired on News One. The report is basically about Pakistani ministers of PPP who visited New York to get aid but the way they were spending their time and how they were lavishly enjoying the cheap thrills is an eye opener for all. Surely not the way, people from a country asking for aid should behave.







Although this isn't something new but it is very shameful...
And who are the ladies who were enjoying the girl's dance???

Quite an insightful and thought provoking video. And a must watch for all who still don't believe we have idiots running and ruining the country who give a damn about Pakistan and who have no self respect obviously.
