Are you sure. If it stopped and the firmament started rotating around the Earth instead, it might take a while to notice the subtle differences.
I thought I saw Chappers this morning, but it was just some white haired geezer.
This internet advertising thing is starting to feel a little stalkery. On another website I just had an ad come for a very local shop. I've never searched for it, or anything similar in the local area. Nor is it part of a chain that I might searched for another location.
Where the F is everybody tonight?
Oh, I forgot. Eurovision.
I know
It's quiet...
Eerie
Did Zooo go mental and ban everyone??
Maybe were next!?
Be afraid, be very afraid . . . . .
I just can't stand the Eurovision cheesefest anymore, its a travesty, I think I preferred it when we declared war on each other instead of warbling in sparkly clothes at each other

WARNING.
My mate has just had his card hacked and over £900 taken. He is, of course, covered by his bank but it seems likely that somehow they got his details from Amazon.
He stored his card/contact details there to save time when checking out.
Just to be on the safe side, I've now deleted all my card details from Amazon.
I saw a thing on Watchdog I think it was a while ago about a scam where a fake website is placed over a genuine one. I can't remember exactly how it worked but it looked scary, although you can't really blame the scaremongering media for that, can you... can you?

Those crim tricks have the delightful name of "man-in-the-middle" attacks.
Here's a sort of description. http://fearlessweb.trendmicro.com/2012/tips-and-tricks/what-are-man-in-the-middle-attacks-and-how-can-i-protect-myself-from-them/
That article is rather jargon ridden. This one is a bit less so. http://blogs.computerworld.com/cybercrime-and-hacking/22050/steve-gibsons-fingerprint-service-detects-ssl-man-middle-spying
