    Surely selling off Royal Mail right now is sheer stupidity?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/7906418.stm Apparently, the Government is thinking about selling off Royal Mail. Now I find this baffling. Throughout this entire financial crisis a lot of the blame has been put at the doors of online companies for robbing the high street of passing...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    More Bloody Spurs Muck

    Gary Megson must have been furious when he woke up on Sunday morning and saw the backpages. The Bolton Wanderers manager had all week to look forward to a trip to White Hart Lane and then they go and boot out the floundering manager less than 24 hours before kick-off. The swift arrival of Harry...

    This may seem a mad question, but if there's anybody on this site who is involved with the local cockle industry, I've a quick question. I remember from my youth huge piles of cockle shells by the sheds, just wondered what you did with these, if you sell them, and if so how much for? I've been...

  12. Aviva to cut jobs

    Fifa, football's world governing body has awarded the 2014 tournament to Brazil.....a brave move, considering that Brazil's justice ministry has recorded 150 murders per day in Brazil, and the state of Brazil's aviation industry is less than reliable. Currently it only takes a brief...

    Transfer Windows Are Rubbish

    I went shopping today. I bought 150 steaks, 200 eggs, enough cornflakes to swim in and enough milk to drown in. I bought half a vineyard of red wine, a circle of cheese as big as a tractor wheel and a box of ice-cream large enough to sink a ship. I also picked up 40 paperback books and a new...
