The company sells oxygen...

and she started a fire? Isn't that exceptionally dangerous?

seems fair

Can I send cash?

"...We carried out the usual treatments to encourage the penis to soften."

I hope he went private, they have nicer nurses for that kind of thing.

AA1 all the way

I picked up the basic AA1 model for £180 and it's ideal for quick browsing, messaging and emailing. I've never had any problems with the trackpad and it takes all of 5 seconds to get used to the positioning of the trackpad buttons.

Best gadget purchase in a long time.

it actually was very funny

ok, it went a bit far and now they've apologised. If you want to see how OTT it really is, head over to the bbc news page where there are seven or so articles about the incident and the report detailing thescores of people that have died in an earthquake in Pakistan is buried in the "other news" section.

is a little perspective too much to ask?

It's been a tough decision but.....

*3 hours and an extended drumroll later*

"you're going home"

"We saw significant peaks, particularly in women"

Surely they should be concentrating on the actual testing rather than checking out the Bulgarian airbags?

@pctechxp

"have alwayes used proper English anyway"

hmmm.....

think you misssed something...

where is she? thats the only reason i read about the eee pc you know.

Already covered by commercial sites?

I can understand why they think online film reviews aren't priority, but i fully expect the BBC to cover local news. Maybe there are several thousand sites covering what's going on in the capital, but up here in the back of beyond (NE Scotland) we haven't got a huge selection.

OK so the fee is a rip off and it has been badly managed, but taking away services which are actually necessary isn't going to fix the problem. Just bung in a bean counter with a spine.

just a few

1) How can I convince myself that the need for shiny gadgets does not override the need to eat?

2) even after showering, shaving and adopting contacts rather than my joe 90's i'm still not getting any. should I actually try talking to a woman or is that taking it too far?

3) is the ability to feel smug in most sciency / techy conversations really worth the crushing social inadequacy?

4) trek or wars?

personally...

i don't even work in IT, so it's just the boot notes i read anyway. You sysadmin types can keep you podloading and bytecasting and whatnot.

i'll stick to Bulgarian airbags and Polish people cleaning their undercrackers with Henry the hoover.

Nice one Lester. (and get back to work Sarah!)

pedant's corner

just to clarify, the religous celebration was moved to the 15th as it co-incided with another holiday.

However, the annual guiness fuelled, blarney fest continues today regardless. Although judging from the nick of my Irish flatmate, celebrations started at somepoint on Thursday and will continue well into Wednesday.

I think you've all missed the point

i've just signed about 40 of my mates up to the toys r us website for cards in the next week or two.

the effects of drink

"major British brewers suffered a profit slump of 78 per cent between 2004 and 2006"

Can we call that a droop?

That's mine one behind the blue fleece, thanks...
