The subject at hand IS national insurance, taxation, society and recovery from recession. Thank goodness we're back on topic. And yes, I probably would grumble about paying a bit more National Insurance in the next tax year, but then we have to pay for our public services somehow and I think this i...

Anyone know what the deal is with the "Sorry.. Temporarily out of stock" SELs? My hunch is that they seem to be used where a product is known to be unavailable - ie. it didn't arrive on that morning's lorry but the system knows it's still needed in store. Often you will see a gap during th...

From my tellywatching last night, I note that Gavin from AutoGlass seems to have been replaced by Steve from AutoGlass. In an odd twist, it looks like Steve drives a van with Gavin printed on the side.

You should be excited. I love it, although it struggles a wee bit with finding Edinburgh weather sometimes. Also, can any owners recommend a skin/case for the Desire. I wasn't going to bother - but then I dropped it in a car park yesterday, resulting in me falling to my knees screaming "NOOOOOO...

I've signed up for 600mins unlimited texts and 500mb data for £30. Will this be a lot of data (bearing in mind browsing the net on the move is a new thing for me). I suppose I can add a bundle for extra, but it would be good to get an idea from others. This was a bit of a concern for me too. When I...

I wish Newswipe was in production at the moment. There's been some bizarre news moments today. As well as a small number of "no-one tells us anything" grumblers at airports, I've also seen BBC News show a viewer email outlining how the author intends to contest his insurer's view that a vo...

I got mine today. I love it so much and really pleased with my Vodafone deal. So much to discover though as I went from quite an old skool phone to something I'm not sure I can handle yet. I did grow attached to my old Sony Ericsson phone though and it's kinda odd going from using it constantly to n...

I can't sum up my feelings any better than the first sentence of the highest rated comment on that vid.

I have a little experience looking after a few domains at work. Was with 123-reg for a while but they did something that infuriated me - can't remember what now. Been with UKreg & Fasthosts (same company) for 4-5 years now and never had any issues. The control panel is excellent and they have re...

If you select Scotland at the start you are not given questions on these policy areas as they are devolved.

I only recently discovered I could use my Ridacard on the posh buses. Not 100% sure why that's the case - seems to be fairly hidden on their website. I think it's meant to be a bit of a concession made for airport workers who travel back and forth every day. I doubt they can legally favour the work...
