    Another big company in trouble

    They've failed to invent enough 'days' and paid the ultimate price.

    They might possibly be in one of the two dozen UPS parcels that I need to confirm to UPS so they can be properly delivered. I'll let you know.

    Homeland Chl4 (complete with 'Spoiler Alert')

    Sky Arts I think. And for those thinking that Homeland was 'nicked' from the Israeli series, I believe they were both written by the same person.

    Anyone see Stoke City's 2011-2012 season review DVD? Game of Throw-Ins?

    Classical & opera suggestions

    Excellent. I would add Barber's Adagio for Strings despite it being done to death in movies. I also love Copland, probably El Salon Mexico for a bit more drama.

    NSC scripting errors

    Yeah, might have to lay off NSC for a bit, its slowing everything up in my browser.

    Brighton Station car park £90 Parking fine.

    I take your point. I guess the 'entrapment' issue does boil down to how clear the signs are, and you make a good point about no one should expect free parking in Brighton so there must be some charges involved. I've seen examples where there is clear entrapment by some of these companies...

    Brighton Station car park £90 Parking fine.

    Not that simples. You don't appear to grasp the difference between council tickets and private 'tickets' (which are actually invoices). If I park in contravention of a council traffic order in council controlled parking area then this is covered by legislation and I can be fined. So yes, in...

    Adverts that get on your nerves

    Has anyone read the small print that scrolls across the bottom of the screen while that "I SAID YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE" F*ckt*rd tries to distract you from reading it?

    Adverts that get on your nerves

    "...and now the sciencey bit..." F*ck off. You patronising w*nk*rs. And your science is rubbish and made up anyway.

    Brighton Station car park £90 Parking fine.

    I would never condone this. Parking Operators do have a right to earn money for the services they are providing. What a lot of people object to is the exorbitant charges they ask you for should you (for whatever reason, accidentally or otherwise) fall foul of their made up regulations. What you...

    Now I have the science geeks attention

    Dear Sir/Madam, I wish to register a complaint. In your article extolling the virtues of an oversized jaffa cake, you have erroneously described a photograph used to illustrate the size of the aforementioned oversized comestible as having a normal sized jaffa cake on the "left". However, a...
