Knitting, iPhones and Saif Gaddafi

I understand that knitting is back in fashion, boosted so it is said by the home knitted jumpers worn by the star of the original Danish series 1 of 'The Killing'. I saw the American version of series 1 but will be watching the Danish series 2 which starts on TV this evening. I hope it doesn't lose its way as did the American series 1 at the end. I do not recall which mobile 'phones were used in the American series 1 but if they were iPhones I trust that their batteries did not become un-rechargeable like the battery in my iPhone 3G which died completely this morning. Thanks though to the impressive way Apple's does things I have today been able to book a time at the Genius Bar for Monday afternoon. I wonder what kind of mobile 'phone Saif Gaddafi had whilst on the run. He will have needed it to discuss his possible surrender to the International Criminal Court but perhaps it gave his presence away to the forces of the National Transitional Council. He will presumably have kept his mobile charged using a car cigarette lighter adapter as I imagine it is difficult to find an electric source in the desert. After his capture Saif Gaddafi was photographed looking somewhat forlorn in full arab prince type robes. He was apparently in an aeroplane taking him to a prison somewhere. One almost felt sorry for him but his captors must feel elated that they have now scooped the last Gaddafi of any importance. I hope one day he writes his memoirs and describes in the greatest detail all the shenanigans that went on not only with the Lockerbie bombing and the subsequent deal done for the return of Al-Megrahi but also in relation to the deals done with Blair, Brown, Mandelson, the Milibands and the LSE.
