Sounds expensive.

I guarantee that any tea used will be organic or free-range (whichever rakes-in a greater profit). Tea (loose, bags); coffee (beans, ground, pods, Instant, Mellow Birds).. In fact if you blow your nose onto a saucer and slip me a twenty I'll do my best. Free tall dark stranger* with every reading - can't say fairer than that. *height of your tall dark stranger may go down as well as up

I saw that coming. The tea sees all.

Speaking of festive number 1's (potentially) it seems this year's X-Factor winner will be releasing a cover of 'Hallelujah' as their first single. Have you pre-ordered your copy yet, Keef? I know it's a favourite.

There's cash in them there Crimbo Comps. I'm sure E17s publisher have been swearing blind it's as Christmas as mince pies and over-eating.

Since when has 'Stay' been a Christmas song?

The question should be "best Christmas songs apart from 'Fairy Tale'" I say Greg Lake "I believe in Father Christmas" or Pretenders "2000 Miles"

India.. Pakistan.. Nuclear Powers.. Enemies.. Terrorism... Britain..? No. I just don't see the connection.

To be honest I think it looks kind-of shabby and utterly ridiculous. But I'm willing to concede that the wonky youtube footage might not effectively convey the majesty and atmosphere of the occasion.

The Spanish are ANIMALS. Thank God for the cultural and civilising influence of ex-Brits now living in Spain.

If a man dressed like the front window of a curtain shop wants to stick sharp things into an animal until it dies - to the sounds of a baying crowd - who are we to argue?

Woolies has been hopelessly out of date for over a decade now. It even looked out of date 20+ years ago when i was sweet-stealing teen. Out of date electricals in faded boxes, a wallful of irrelevant music CDs, aisles of kitchen tat.. Everything you can find everywhere else, only a poorer selection and slightly more expensive. It had to go.

Thanks are certainly in order - but ?1 000 000 as a reward seems a little excessive, surely?

Apple computers. Motorbikes. A logburning stove. I'm slightly nerdy, slightly foolhardy and very warm.

The BNP is (supposed to be) a political party. Political parties are (supposed to be) a cause. Something you believe in - or at least give your democratic support for whatever reason you feel is right. This isn't some private fetish club which consenting adults attend to fulfil their secret desires.. these people actually knock on your door, seek funding to further and expand their cause, and solicit your vote. I agree with Hugue that active memberships of political parties should be public. In any case - if you believe in something, at least grow some balls and be prepared to say so. None of this means that the list should have been made public in the way it has (I think most are in agreement there, despite some tittering and smirking, myself included). But it's interesting that the responses by some of those 'named' on the list are akin to them being caught red-handed wanking into the gravy at the family Christmas dinner, as opposed to taking a moral stand about invasion of privacy etc.

A very sad day indeed.

On the one hand of course, this kind of public 'outing' of members of fringe groups (which many will find repugnant) is a worrying occurrence which goes against the very civil liberties which many of of us take for granted. "I defend to the death.." and all that jazz. It's the thin end of the wedge - and a surefire descent down a slippery slope from which there may be no turning back. On the other hand, I tend to think... f@ck 'em.

This is an outrage. If I want to watch online videos of a midget spanking a monkey with an electrified table-tennis bat, then my right to privacy must be protected. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong of nuffin.

Moos, One might use 'bum scissors' to 'pinch a loaf'

What makes me laugh is that they are 'the cheapest' for many people in this area. I also laughed when they gave me ?100 'in my back pocket' as a loyalty bonus after a year.
