I tried it again to see what all the fuss is about.What I witnessed was a group of ordinary (to be polite) people, sitting around talking drivel.Why would anyone be remotely interested or entertained by this?Voyeurism?The possibility of some...

So Kofi's finally got around to visiting Sudan. He's seen evidence of the horrors that have taken place in Dafur and spoken to some of the millions of displaced victims. Mr Annan expressed suitable surprise, disapproval and polite indignation to the...

On Sunday I opened a shrink wrapped pack containing hot smoked salmon to eat with my salad.As I opened it I read the following warning:"CONTAINS FISH."No shit! Perhaps I'm the dumb one here but why should the bleedin' obvious be stated on a packet of...

Rightly or wrongly, I have a Road Angel GATSO finder in my car. Having become recently old and boring, I don't need to detect speed cameras, but the Road Angel has a GPS output socket. I imagine this GPS output could be used to give me a routeplanner...

Dear Padded Cellmates,My wife wants some new toys ie iPod and PDA.Is a PDA a viable replacement for an iPod or are they just a joke when it comes to music playback? eg camera phones. Music will only be of occasional use so files should fit on memory...

I now realise it was naive to post comments on Jackson's music in the music room and expect replies uninfluenced by current events.'Off The Wall' was/is/will remain a classic work. However, people's enjoyment of his music will be irreversibly affected...

This looks like it's pretty well worth watching, dunnit ? innit
MalkyPosted: 20 May 2005Last Updated: 27 May 2005
Just watched the first episode, recorded from last night. I thought this was the perfect mix of creepy/scary and hilariously funny. The Peter Capaldi character couldn't possibly be based on a certain former No. 10 spin doctor, could he?Armando Iannuci...

Maybe a long shot but I cannot find the information on the internet......My wife's dentist has left the practice that she attends and has moved to another.Presumably, his contract included a "non-poaching" agreement as we received a letter advising us...

This should ewentually become quite a large thread as it's a far more interesting topic/subject than speedin & coffee grinders, but that's only my unqualified opinion innit ? Fritz Von The Chief reckons I'm spending far far too much time on this forum and not getting out to chat up the gels, the question is, How does he know this, innit?

Yeah ! All my ten kids got pregnant under the age of 14 (even the boys) and it's the bleedin governments fault innit, said the single mother from somewhere in Britain, who's own hands are still as soft as mild green gin & Lime, but insists she's nearly 30, and it's her right to claim State benefits as her kids will pay our future pensions ? A government spokesperson was quoted as saying "Unfortunately we're all tied up with the Israeli claim that NHS Doctors killed a man our soldier...

Ok, in the thread linked below I mentioned on page 4 that I had gone ahead and purchased the Canon EOS 300D.Can't get on with it and not enough patience to continue trying.I know this isn't a selling forum, so if the thread is deleted there will be no...

I saw the movie "Primer" the other day. Shot by rank amateurs pretty much, on handheld digital video too by the look. Replete with grainy and one or two slightly-out-of-focus shots. No special effects. No expensive cast.Engaging the whole way through....

Much to the consternation of my co-workers, I took the day off to view the latest installment of the Star Wars saga. Of the films in the most recent trilogy, Episode III is by far the best. For the visual effects alone it is worth seeing the movie....

Now I know I must be a grumpy old git but:Downloadable Ringtones. Why?It's a Fone. Innit.I read the ASA can't do anything about the sheer numbers of ringtone ads on the telly. So it's up to us. Just let the commercial channels know we're switching...
