Businesses sell your sexuality for money
Businesses are giving out personal and confidential details about customers to third parties in a bid to boost sales, an internet security firm has claimed, with a fifth willing to give out credit card information and seven per cent happy to disclose customers’ sexual orientation–the latter raising the questions of why is our sexual orientation kept on databases in the first place, how is it discovered, and which companies think it’s appropriate to their businesses for them to hold such intimate information.

It’s Monday morning, it’s unexpectedly snowing rather heavily, we’ve just had two large tom-cats unknown to us declaring war on each other at the bottom of the garden, the chickens ’shouted’ at me because I let them out and then fed them (instead of what I usually do, which is put down the food and water and then let them out). At time of writing this it’s only 8.35am. Welcome to my world!

Anyone who’s got even the slightest familiarity with the Bible’s last Book, Revelations, will likely be aware of the section wherein everyone in the ‘end days’ is forced to have the Beast’s number stamped on their foreheads, with those refusing to comply, according to John, denied food and made to suffer. Most of us don’t buy into the idea of this particular tale being ancient prophecy, though we may or may not have time for other prophecies or predictions. Some people even started suggesting, unsurprisingly in the 1960s, that the writer of Revelations was having a really manic trip after consuming something dodgy.
