Special offer on a large Coke & popcorn at Odeon cinemas - 71p off - Now only £6.49. It's a £u**ing disgrace. Boycott this place in future. Bottle of water - £2.60 Small bag of popcorn - £3.60 I know, I know - don't buy it - but explain it to the kids and it just makes you feel bad - it works on emotional blackmail.

I have seen a few of these "human transporters" around the streets and in the park - which I assume is the result of a local entrepreneur offering "tours" on the things. They look kinda fun, and I wouldn't mind having a go on one, it's just that I...

Some time ago I tried to sell some equipment on e-bay, I did not have time to read the legal conditions but I thought this could be a good way to sell my stuff. 3 weeks went by and despite some potential buyers, none of the equipment was sold. I...

I looked in on a guitar shop on my travels yesterday that I haven't been in for 25 years. I used to live around there when I was in a band. I was amazed it's still there, and I recognised the owner too. Well..it would have been rude to come out...

Why is it that hairdressers in the UK and Ireland nearly always use ridiculous puns for the names of their shops? It's always something like "A Cut Above" or "Heads You Win". I've even seen "Curl up and Dye". Do they do this is in other...

Andy,In my parts the expression 'the whole hog' has been around since I was a kid, but recently you used 'the whole hod' with the apparent same meaning. Well, we're probably an isolated community down here and perhaps someone a long time ago misheard...

I have been wondering about my visits to Amazon that usually result in me buying CD's used for very little cash. If I buy a new CD it will be because it's a new release, and again I'll shop for a good price. I'm still amazed that people go to HMV or...

Don't care what you say. I was just watching Tull at the Isle of Wight(sp?)from 1970 and the band was awesome. No pyro, no makeup, no smashing guitars. Ian was amazing. That outfit! Looks like he got up in the morning in his long johns, threw on a...

Is it me or does Tezza's new book jacket look like he's either been made up for 'The Mikado' or even worse, dare I say it, a cadaver, with Max Factor slapped on a bit heavy like for the grand exit. Also has someone removed his neck? Comments on a...
