A member of the British Parliament is moving to make guitar god Jimmy Page a knight, according to the NME. Conservative MP Louise Mensch is suggesting knighthood for the Led Zeppelin guitarist, announcing the news on her Twitter page: “I’ve proposed Jimmy Page. Waiting to see if that finds favour with Honours Directorate. I hope so.”
One of the greatest ever.
This is a dilemma for the UK. It’s considered compulsory to disagree with anything Louise Mesnch says, but on this occasion she’s said something that makes complete sense.
This has not happened before and as a country we were totally unprepared.
“One of the greatest ever.”
I hope to Christ you are not referring to Mensch with that.
It might have more chance if someone other than the mensche had proposed it.
She seems to be hated by her own constituents that she represents.
I can’t say enough good stuff about this case. It’s a very sturdy case, doesn’t add a lot of bulk to the phone, and is one hell of a conversation starter. Well worth the $40 price tag!
Not trying to be snarky about this, but I’d want to see the bottom corners of an iPhone that had been kept in this case after being used consistently to open bottles for several months.
$40? For a bottle opener!? Some people have more money than sense… 🙂
I agree. The picture shows the metal opener, which slides through grooves in a hard plastic case. Opening a bottle requires a good amount of force. Unless the case itself is made of neutronium, a significant amount of the force is going to be applied through the plastic (which will flex imperceptibly) to the phone itself. This force is quite probably more than the phone is designed to take.
I wouldn’t trust my phone to this until I’ve seen some serious long-term testing. Besides, I can always just pull out my Leatherman.
Hmm. I wonder if they will let you on a plane with one of these?
