Now let me guess.. "USA food industry websites say Chinese honey is bad" Yep. Roger that.

Depends how you do it, Jezzer! No trouble here.. BOSH!

You should take the plunge, RD. There's a little bit of middle class worry at first ("big telly? - ooh I dunno - it's all a bit Asda") but once you're over it, all you're left with is a massive bloody telly which is BLOODY BRILLIANT

The bottom line is that it's illegal to label and sell something that isn't honey (such as corn syrup) as 'honey'. Whether or not you believe corn syrup to be lurking illegally inside many jars of inexpensive 'honey' is a different question. Or whether you can tell the difference, or care one way or the other..

Honey is made by bees. Anything not made by bees isn't honey. That's what honey is, honey. So all honey is honey. But of course there are different types of honey. Some bees are fed with artificial sugars and syrups which apparently makes less good honey. Some people think honey made from a certain variety of plants nectar tastes different or better. Some honey is filtered, removing pollen amongst other less desirable things. But it's all still honey. That said, nice honey does cost more. It tastes of bees.

That's it, John. Makes your average $100m movie look like an episode of 'Friends' and gives you motion sickness.

It's doesn't have to go 'over something' or 'in something' to be unintrusive.

The 'how close you can sit' rule isn't based on the size of the screen, it's based on the definition of the image. So - perversely - you can sit closer to a larger, hi-def image than you could a smaller old-styled CRT image. After that, there's whether it's comfortable or not - which is a personal thing. Jez is totes right though: the first thing to check out is any interpolation / 'smoothing' feature (or whatever the brand of set you have calls it) which often comes default set as 'on'. It's bloody horrible - made me feel absolutely sick as a dog too until I hunted it down and switched it off. On the whole, whatever size you get, most people will get used to it - and find it harder to go back to something smaller. 40 would seem too small now.

I agree - but people are stubborn and blind when it comes to evaluating their own houses though. They see a house down the round that sold and assume theirs must be worth the same. They jam an inexpensive extension on and expect buyers with a million quid to take a quick look and just say 'great - you've made it bigger - here's top dollar'.

Traditional folk stuff in fantastic to rob from - on account of the lack of copyright.

Cecil's doing pretty well - from beyond the grave admittedly.

Did you consider popping over the road to Another Estate Agent?

What's the significance of the 'Hazelnut' bit?

True, but then Greece is unlikely to produce a fascist regime with a large, highly mechanised army capable of storming most of Europe!

You just need to choose your venues, I guess. A romantic meal for two can easily be spoiled by ten people on an adjacent table wearing dildo necklaces and downing shots.
