Re: Lillibullero

I'm pretty sure (and this is my understanding of how it works) that a few years ago they split the English World Service output into 2 - one a more newsy service and the other a more general World Service with feature/entertainment programmes and short bulletins on the hour/half hour.

Re: EU treaty: Did David do the right thing?

Whatever the outcome we'll always be ok for cuckoo clocks and pickled herring. :lol: It's good that Cameron is putting the UK's needs first, but that doesn't necessarily mean that saying no to the treaty is necessarily in our interests. Also a financial transaction tax, AKA the 'Robin Hood Tax' does...

Re: iOS5

What *is* with that BlackBerry nonsense anyhow? Speaking as a developer I am amazed they seem to have a single point of failure on their massive network.
