Moss, Ripley & Kachloul for three.

Yes.

I managed to get a £25 parking ticket in The Swan Centre on Saturday, despite it being a free parking day. Result.

Oh, the iPhone. I see.

What exactly do you offer them to be grateful for anyway, St Keith?

It appears unlikely that the current financial climate is the actual reason for Honda's departure considering they were suffering least from the recession of any manufacturer aside of Ferrari/Fiat. I would stick my neck on the line and suggest that 8th followed by 9th in the constructors' championship, at massive cost, is closer to the actual reason.

Well, it is your mantra for life after all.

More likely a V6 or In-Line 4 Cyl. 1.8 turbocharged bioethanol/bio petrol engine in 2013, than a diesel, running alongside a 50% KERS system. As for refuelling, it's only been compulsory since 1994 so the majority of F1 has seen either no refuelling at all, or voluntary (back in the day when it wasn't an advantage to have to pit for fuel). I quite like the idea of no refuelling but overall these changes are going to put a lot of people out of work, which is never good.

Singing about "Scummers" is not any kind of racism!

Firstly, thank fewk the rumour about cutting staff by 75% was just that, a rumour.. Here's the FIA/FOTA/WMSC approved list of changes to F1 over the next couple of years. http://www.fia.com/en-GB/mediacentre/pressreleases/wmsc/wmsc08/Pages/wmsc_121208.aspx

Don't you think that using the terms "Lowey" and "Wildey" is a bit, well, erm... How can I put this? Ummm... Pathetic?

Don't you find that teachers set the bar too high sometimes?

Fable II as far as getting into it (though I'm distraught that my dog was taken from me and I was too generous to get it back, hoping that making the sacrifice would see me get him back anyway - and I shall probably start over now) and COD4 for the "Wow" factor. Special mention to Bioshock and the Halo series.

You forgot to put (sp) after that.

I didn't think they let women on submarines.

Are you absolutely sure about this? Before you think I'm casting aspersions on your character, please re-read what you put

You'll be delighted to hear that The Transporter 2 is on Film4 tonight at 9pm then.

I watched Starship Troopers 2 the other night. That takes terrible to a whole new level.

I knew I'd read it somewhere else.

It came up for sale recently. Twenty-odd thousand fully restored to the film standard.

How mental is that btw, the displaying of tobacco products law I mean?

With regards to that little gem, do you remember the story about the British family with about 10 kids who get hundreds of thousands in housing and benefits? So much that the father couldn't afford to go and get a job because he could never hope to earn anywhere near the amount. Our taxes are not all p*ssed away on immigrants TDD.

The thing is, who are these people waiting years for a house? Most immigrants will not be housed immediately, instead they will spend time in a hostel until accomodation is found. This is exactly the same practice afforded to Nationals. A British family will be housed before a (for example) single European male, although a European family would almost certainly be housed before a single British male. This is largely due to the impracticality of families living in hostels or shared accomodation. The welfare system of housing is available to everybody in the country, if they're prepared to g o through the proper channels. There's actually no need to live on the streets in the UK. The benefits system has, up until these reforms come in, worked the same for everyone; you work and you get tax credits (should your income be low enough), you don't work through unemployment and you get JSA and income support (level depending on size of family) and if you don't work through incapacity you get a disability allowance and income support (again based on dependents). The new system will see disparity in the system for the first time. Up until now the only reason you'd believe that immigrants get actual, real preferential treatment is because it makes better newspaper stories.

I do see your point there and it's a fair one.
