Anyone tried your own personal internet radio station called Pandora.

All you do is type in your fav artist, song or genre & it plays away. If you don't like the musical route its going down you give it the thumbs down, so it learns what you like. You can even create different stations (playlists) & mix them together. It's really for Americans so you only get a trial, but if you like it you can just put in an American zip code like 90210. I've been using it for a long long time now & its brilliant.

Good stuff EDA, I've seen a couple of things that do this sort of thing before.

I'm not sure work will appreciate the bandwidth, but hey.


I've gone for Neko Case and I'm now on the 4th Neko Case. This is of course a good thing, but does no-one else sound like her?

* edited - he he, they tried the Dixie Chicks, I turned it down and it's back to Neko, ooh and another ;) *

I've been enjoying this site, dedicated to the idea that many commenters on BBC's have your say can be a bit of a lunatic lot.

OK, so bears like doing things in the woods, still it's funny.

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
