Where would the Daily Mail be without Lembit?

We were interested in a recent comment to our 2009 Awards post which recommended (in so many words) that we include a Daily Mail award for crap research. We sort of take the point but also have to confess that we enjoy the odd interesting tale about Lembit that appears on their pages from time to time.

Even so, the sparsity of stuff on their website – which includes an item on state monitoring of phone and e-mail records that everyone else was reporting six weeks ago – does suggest that they could have done with a tsunami or something over the seasonal hols. In the meantime, they’ll just have to make do with “more PC lunacy” – by err ... the police.

Sorry guys. Point taken.
How about a Lousy Maths award to Bob Hinton who suggested that Al Gore stands to Make $3 trillion from carbon trading. Bill Gates is worth $42 billion so, Al Gore scores over 71 times a guy who built up a computer software company from stratch?

Talking of sparse websites, the Beans on Toast joke of a site has hardly changed since Christmas Eve. They clearly don't give a toss about being "at the heart of all things local" if it means providing a service.
