BBC News - Bail appeal for Wikileaks founder Assange on Thursday
Swedish prosecutors will make their appeal against bail for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange at the High Court on Thursday.
The 39-year-old was granted bail at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday on the condition he provides sureties of £240,000 in cash.
But he was forced to remain in Wandsworth Prison pending the appeal.
Mr Assange is fighting extradition to Sweden, where he denies sexually assaulting two women.
He argues that the allegations against him are politically motivated and are designed to distract attention from the sensitive material being exposed by his whistle-blowing website.

English is a funny language
*You think English is easy??? Read to the end . . . a new twist**
*
1) The bandage was* wound *around the* wound.
*
2) The farm was used to* produce produce *. 3) The dump was so full that it had to* refuse* more* refuse*. 4) We must *polish* the* Polish *furniture. 5) He could* lead* if he would get the *lead* out. 6) The soldier decided to *desert* his dessert in the* desert.
*
7) Since there is no time like the *present*, he thought it was time to*
present* the* present .* 8) A* bass* was painted on the head of the* bass *drum. 9) When shot at, the* dove dove* into the bushes. 10) I did not* object* to the* object.
*
11) The insurance was* invalid* for the* invalid.
*
12) There was a* row* among the oarsmen about how to *row* . 13) They were too *close* to the door to* close* it. 14) The buck* does *funny things when the* does* are present. 15) A seamstress and a* sewer* fell down into a* sewer* line.. 16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his* sow* to* sow.
*
17) The* wind* was too strong to* wind* the sail. 18) Upon seeing the* tear* in the painting I shed a* tear.
*
19) I had to *subject* the* subject* to a series of tests. 20) How can I* intimate *this to my most* intimate* friend? Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant,
nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins
weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are
candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for
granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work
slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither fromGuinea nor
is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't
groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the
plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One
index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one
amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of
them, what do you call it? If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English
speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what
language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and
send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a
wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill
in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That
is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are
out, they are invisible. PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick' ? *
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this . There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other
two-letter word, and that is**'UP.'
**
**It's easy to understand** UP*, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the
list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake *UP* ?
At a meeting, why does a topic come* UP* ?
Why do we speak *UP* and why are the officers* UP* for election and why is
it *UP* to the secretary to write* UP* a report ?
We call* UP* our friends.
And we use it to brighten* UP* a room, polish* UP* the silver; we warm *UP* the
leftovers and clean *UP* the kitchen.
We lock* UP* the house and some guys fix* UP* the old car.
At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir *UP** *trouble, line* UP* for tickets, work* UP* an appetite,
and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened* UP* because it is stopped UP.
We open* UP* a store in the morning but we close it *UP* at night.
*
We seem to be pretty mixed** UP* about *UP *!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of* UP*, look the word *UP* in the
dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes *UP** *almost 1/4th of the page and can
add* UP* to about thirty definitions.
If you are *UP* to it, you might try building* UP* a list of the many ways *
UP* is used.
It will take* UP* a lot of your time, but if you don't give *UP*, you may
wind* UP* with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding *UP* .
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing* **UP*...
*When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things **UP*.
*When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry* *UP*.
*
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it* *UP*, for now my time is *UP*,
so........it is time to shut *UP*! Now it's *UP* to you what you do with this email.
