Apparently keeping a tv program for more than 3 months is breach of coopyright - I think 80% od the Nation is therefore criminals My mum still has tapes from when she videoed Howards Way in the late 80s! I used to make mix tapes when I was younger - found one the other day Yep, you are technically ...

Gigabit? You'll be waiting for quite a long time - this is Britain you know! lol! I meant to write 'megabit' obviously. Post suitably edited. Whilst the world steams ahead with megabit speeds as standard, we are being touted with nothing more than glorified ISDN - 150k is a joke IMO when it comes t...

Disposals to Sainsburys: Chafford Hundred, Cramlington, Darlington, Grantham, Heaton, Lytham St Annes, Mansfield, Ripon , Scarborough, Scunthorpe, Spalding, Tadcaster, Team Valley and Whitehouse Farm Morrisons plugged Ripon as one of the first stores to be 'converted' on the last page - so it's abo...

Indeed, they have been building up for just over 4 years now, but luckily they are fairly stable. Only when someone feels like starting a coke bottle pool while mildly drunk do they fall over! Some vanilla and cherry coke bottles are mixed in, but the vast majority are normal. At 6th form in our co...

1mb sounds very nice, but 2gb a month limit is crippling. i downloaded that much in my first couple of days of having my 512kbs service I'm on Tiscali's 150Kbps service (which is £14.99 / month - yet that was unbelievably good value less than a year ago, amazing how times are changing so fast in th...

I do agree that China/East and the US are the biggest problems here. With China & the east I can understand why they want more oil for cars & plastic etc. But should they be allowed to follow in our bad example of oil consumption and pollution. With the US however I think, no offence to them...

I've asked this before, but I forget the answer, is there a reason why plant oils (vegetable oil, sunflower oil etc) can't be used in place of mineral oil? Or indeed, now that we are seeing cars being lubricated with a fully synethic oil rather than a mineral oil, is it possible to expand the develo...

What I do find odd about this article is that it's written from an American perspective, yet Americans are the worst oil guzzlers in the world. The Bush administration has refused to commit his country to reducing oil consumption, America remains a country where a Volkswagon Passat is considered a s...

I still don't get why Morrisons are disposing of the most valuable asset they have - the Safeway brand name. However much they don't like it, Morrisons is a relatively obscure northern brand, completely alien to most people who live in the south. Safeway on the other hand is everywhere and enjoys br...

Though Katherine is right, where ever you go in the UK, you constantly see these losers, I don't see why they bother, they probably won't have the car for long anyway. Yeah the 'why do they it factor' is a big one. They've bought some old rust bucket for a few hundred quid, and they've then spent s...

Why is it that in almost every town in the UK, the cars with the really loud 'boom-box' music systems seem to be owned by young twentysomethings who drive clapped-out Citroen Saxos or ageing Ford Fiestas? Probably because once they've paid ridiculous sums of money for their sound system, the only c...
