Comment on Cornershop - Waterloo Sunset by Stu

I went to see Cornershop play at the Sheperds Bush Empire (probably back in the ICOS days). The gig was fantastic and ended with a song that was at least 20 mins long. It started off with the whole band, then one by one they left until only the two drummers were left on stage. They were on thier own for at least 10 minutes, and it bought the show to an amazing climax.

Absolutely brilliant.

Then a couple of years later, new years eve, the main man (I forget his name) was sat at the table next to me in the pub I was in (owned by Mick Hucknall’s brother) all on his own.

It was a shame, made worse by the fact I was too shy to bother him and invite him to join us.

Comment on Brand, Ross and The Independent by Mark

• Ross and Brand are skilled at what they do!
• They are however paid too much for what they do!
• So this bad taste out take allows the BBC to save face by dropping their salary to minimum wage.
• In a recession this is very handy!
• It’s in fact a dream ticket for the BBC.

• On Legal grounds however if it was sanctioned by higher level of the BBC then it was a set up!
• Ross and Brand can clean up (big time)!
• If it was a lapse on the regular management of judgment of the decision of Ross and Brand to find humor which in the past posed no problem then Ross & Brand can claim against the BBC for substantial damages including loss of future earnings.
• This is a dream ticket for Ross on 6 a year and even for brand.
• The BBC could well have kicked themselves in the balls! Twice!
• That hurts!
• It hurts the license payer as much!
• It marks the end of the BBC, brought down by two comedians! Ross & Brand. It proves the license fee we paid was inappropriate and ideology of the BBC was in fact a joke!

Comment on PC World Scam by Tom

For their misleading advertising PC World deserve prosecuting to the fullest extent. For months I’ve been checking availability of a particular model of laptop…..it’s never in stock at any of their stores. Why keep advertising the product if they simply don’t have them in stock? I’m in no desperate rush for the laptop as it’s just a 2nd model for home email and internet, but still, I’d hate to be a customer who’s set his sights on acquiring this product and was expecting a quick turnaround on his order.

This is untrue. As , The Foundation for Aids Research, notes “being HIV-positive does not in itself prevent people from becoming (US) citizens.”

I have also been after this laptop at PC World. The situation is a bit more complicated than you discovered, and is not a scam but simple bad management. If you really poke around on the PC World website, and specifically look for a refurbished laptop, they are selling the A300-1BZ at £499.99 on Home Delivery. However, if you go to the main laptop area, where they only list new ones, the same computer appears at £499.97 (note the price difference) as a “collect at store” item. The trouble is, when you try to buy it you find that all your local stores are out of stock so you can’t actually buy it. Eventually, I tracked it down to the Swansea store, and phoned them. They have one A300-1BZ, but it is flood-damaged and therefore not actually for sale, but since it hasn’t been sold the main PC World computer shows it as in stock, and will do until they can get it updated. My experience of PC World is that they are not dishonest, but the business seems to be highly decentralised with inadequate information systems, so that the centre (and the website) does not really know what is out there.

Bonjour,

The Metro Hotel Woking is a total disgrace, and their management’s insult to our soldiers is unforgivable. BOYCOT THIS DUMP !

I’m offended but not surprised I will refuse to stay at this hotel if I ever go to the UK. Anti Military and AntiAmerican. The UK was once a proud Nation. I fear it has been sold out to Islam and socialist communism. I fear there is no England now as in the song by Pink Floyd I am a retired US Army medic and I consider all British military my brethern Hopefully it is not too late for England and the US . There are still brave British Tars and Tommys out there somewhere

Management policy? That sort of management couldn’t manage a monkeys’ tea party. I really hope everyone boycotts the place.
