Re: Crazy mo-fo laws

Glad to be back in California where I can get away with being assumed as 21 without being asked for ID. In Vegas, Nevada when I attempted to get a beer the waitress laughed and said I looked 16 max. Ah, America, the land of rules and regulations! Don't take it personally – I'm 28 and last year I wa...

Ditto to what the others have said. I got my first one-bedroomed flat in 1996 for £30k (which seemed like a lot then) and I've crept steadily up the property ladder and now have got £100k of equity in a 3 bedroomed house. And at no stage have I ever put deposits in, it's all been done on mortgages. ...

Free DVDs in Kelloggs Cornflakes

I don't know if anyone else has noticed this promotion yet but they're giving away various BBC DVDs inside large boxes of Kelloggs Cornflakes. I got episode 2 of series 2 of The Office but there are five other DVDs to collect: Life On Earth, Jonathan Creek, Match Of The Day, Delia Smith and Little R...

Well I've got an eMac and I've got to say it's absolute sh*te, but that's only because it's got 128mb RAM. I presume it's a first generation eMac so I'm sure the newer ones will be in a different league. In a nutshell: it isn't powerful enough to run OSX (which it came supplied with). It's pathetica...

I saw it when I was on holiday in Florida on its opening night. Even more interesting than the film itself was the reaction of the American audience in the cinema. They were going wild, jeering at Bush, constantly applauding Michael Moore, and there was a standing ovation at the end. They may not ha...

I've been doing my Columbo bit on this competition, and a few things just don't seem right. According to the Companies House database, the company behind it, "Are People Ltd" didn't exist until 24 September 2003 – yet they claim to have given away their first prize of £10,000 in June 2003....

First single was Take On Me by A-ha, which stood the test of time as a quality pop song. I feel so old... it was actually on vinyl (£1.65 from W.H.Smith, I seem to recall) because you couldn't get CD or cassette singles back then. First album was Now 4 (oh yes!) on cassette, bought purely because it...

Is this competition site dodgy...

Thanks, administrator, for activating my account so quickly. And Hi, everyone. I'd be interested in peoples' opinions on a site my girlfriend found, http://www.celebritywin.com . It's had us going mad for the last 3 days. You answer a load of easy questions and then get to see a pair of eyes apparen...
