There was this guy in the Bugle that reconned that there was "clear laser" technology that burns out Paps lenses on Abramovich's new Yacht.

Apparantly its only the fancy electric stuff on the bigger Goldfish that kept going down - ' old fashioned stuff seems ok ( or they had turned it off as just off Yarmouth is not exaclty a well known 'risky area')
