I think I've stumbled on a radical idea to improve airport security and at the same time speed it up. Here goes. Ignore the likes of the white-haired middle aged ladies popping off to Tenerife for...
I've had a bit of an irritating cough for the past 2 or 3 days, which doesn't cause a problem during the day (in fact, I don't cough at all during the day), but as soon as my head hits the pillow, up...
Pitbull 'type' Dog. Dead 4 year old. Liverpool. Grandmother. Midnight. Its like a dot to dot! "This is yet another disadvantaged family let down by a system which betrays them time after time,...
Given that this hateful woman would like to see all women short lists for safe Labour seats at the general election, why is her husband, Jack Dromey, being parachuted into a safe labour seat? Where is...
Maradona, at the time of the 'Hand of God' goal was the best player on the planet, yet for me his whole career is defined by that one incident of blatant cheating. Indeed, when anybody talks about...

Why is there so much intellectual snobbery about Dan Brown? The News Quiz on Radio 4 are always having a pop at him - he may not be a Rushdie or a Keneally, but as a page-turning story-teller when all...
I'm not so sure. The long term useless have a vested interest in Labour staying in power. The vast number of people in public sector non-jobs created by Labour have a vested interest in them staying...
I have recently returned from a trip to Krakow, which so far is by far the best European city I have been to - absolutely loved the place.
Is Warsaw worth a visit?...
Why is David Cameron's background relevant? I couldn't care less how many silver spoons he was born with, or whether he dragged himself up from a sink estate - all I'm bothered with is what sort of a...

Not sure I'm in the right Topic, but here goes. I have 12,482 songs on my iPod, 2 of which are by Franz Ferdinand. Whenever I listen to my iPod I always use the shuffle feature and this morning, on my...
