As every new thread discussing the possible separation of Scotland underlines - there are so very many aspects that don;t appear to have been considered, even in passing, by the Wallaces who are...
Just watched the documentary from last night, and it underlines what I have said on here, and anywhere else where her name comes up - Kate Bush is one of the few musicians to whom the word genius can...
The BBC continues to play cosy nostalgia with the licence fee by providing brilliant vibrant cutting edge entertainment on a Saturday night, dessigned to capture and maintain a younger audience ... oh...
When I save a Word document on my memory stick, and re-open it on my home PC, it appears to have saved it as a Word Pad document, and it advises that it may not be fully supported. I cut and paste...

On Good Friday my Tesco mobile ceased to function - it would ring, but I couldn't receive calls. I took it in to my local Tesco, and the phone shop manager advised me that it was faulty and would have...
I quite like Lisa Tarbuck on Radio Two, although I am rarely in the car when she is on, the only time I listen to her. Lately though, I guess someone has told her she has an attractive giggle, because...
