Why has nobody NOTICED the obvious FACTOR? It costs TWENTY FIVE QUID to go to the Albion. This is TOO MUCH.

Yes, yes I would!

Thanks for that winning insight. Anyway, I paid £400 for my laptop: a PC, running Vista. It's not perfect, but it does rather nicely for surfing the web, odds and sods of work using MS Office, and organising my collection of music and pics. For the cheapest Mac that does the same thing, I...

No he's not! He gets paid to read words out loud! On that basis, I, or John Lees, should get to carry the Olympic Torch. At least Leesy has actually been a member of the British athletics team! Stephen Hawking is a genius. Tim Berners-Lee is a genius. Evelyn Glennie is a genius. If the best the...

I'm afraid it doesn't actually work like that, but I know what you mean...

In effect, every UK taxpayer has put NINE HUNDRED POUNDS into Northern Rock now. Frightening.

Southern Water hasn't enforced a hosepipe ban for about three years, as far as I can remember. Furthermore, firefighters are generally allowed to ignore hosepipe bans :jester:

An NHS trust in the area in which I used to work was forever getting negative press in the local paper. The health reporter was BRILLIANT -- she had the best contacts and got all the scoops. I knew this because I was the health reporter for the local radio station and she frequently whipped my...

This is a DISGRACE. Where are the CYCLE PARKING FACILITIES? I'm slightly with Bag. I believe it'll happen, but I can't believe there won't be some sort of cockup along the way.

I once commentated on Colchester United v Stockport County after climbing onto a garage roof, and then up a 20ft ladder. Carrying broadcasting gear weighing about 30 kilos in a flight case. Botham, quite frankly, is a f***ing wuss.

There is no plan to shut down the FM band at all. For starters, it's just too useful in an emergency. And there's no use for it other than radio, so the government might as well keep on raising money out of it. Starry -- as for putting your Reciva radio near your wireless router, I had heard it...

I really can recommend the IR100. At the very least you should get one which uses Reciva software, as it can pick up stations which "broadcast" in WMA, MP3 and Real Audio format. Not all radios are compatible with all formats -- but Reciva ones are.

El Largio, have you ever had any other footballers in your shop (uninvited)? And have they bought shirts from the teams for which they used to play?

Nope, cos it hasn't got speakers. And I like to get out of the shower, then get dressed in my room, then make breakfast in the kitchen without having to stop listening or carry anything about. It's bordering on the obsessive, I'm aware, but it's my job...

No, it picks up the internet stream which is pumped out from the radio station. So you can't get, say, Albion commentaries on it, because the BBC doesn't own the rights to broadcast them on the internet. But you can get the Premiership games , and other sport, which Five Live has the rights to...

The Londond Cycling Campaign website is probably the best for cyclists in London. Or elsewhere, for that matter.

PICS?

This is a BRILLIANT idea -- and one that I'll CERTAINLY want the candidates in the mayoral election to support in order to get my vote. All they need to do now is bring back guards' vans on trains so they can carry as many bikes as they used to.

Why? AVG is fine.

I've got FIVE DABs (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, a portable one, and a device that makes my iPod into a DAB) and an internet radio (lounge) and two FM radios (one in the car, one spare).
