Only in England...

Would motorists be forced to pay £1.30 plus for a litre of fuel and accept it with minimal fuss... Madness.

Rhetorical Question #3

Does the volume on your TV have to be set on an even number?
Is this a sign of OCD?

Simon Says

The strangest thing has happened; the country has gone to war but only on a Saturday and Sunday evening from about 8pm, for an hour or two. Either that or the X Factor has taken over. Only during historic moments in TV history have I known such quiet on the streets. Royal weddings, big world cup matches and when someone shot JR (it wasn't me, my gun of choice then was essentially my thumb and forefinger). The streets are deserted, curtains are drawn and TVs blaze from living rooms but what's the big deal?

Poll Result - What's the best TV sport?

Football won with almost half of the votes; boxing, cricket, golf, rugby union and other (MMA?) shared the other votes equally. My favourite sport is football but for me, boxing is the best TV sport.

Poll Result - Who should be the next England manager?

The Special One was the winner - for a change. 'Arry took second from Big Sam and was top Englishman. A quarter of voters didn't care, highlighting the growing disillusionment with the national side.

Rhetorical Question #2

Access aside, did you prefer football coverage before Sky took it on? Sunday's Big Match Live, Saint and Greavsie, listening to big away games on the radio, teletext (delayed) updates etc?

Are you a Corporate Dad?

Surely that’s a daft question but is it? Personally I have met many parents, both male and female for whom the question is relevant. Yes, we all have to and often choose to work late occasionally but for some this is the rule rather than the exception. Over the years I have worked with people whose sole reason for starting early or indeed staying late in the office is to impress their manager with their commitment to the company. Many have little or nothing to do in this extra time yet seem comfortable killing time on the internet or playing desktop games. Their one objective is to impress their boss with a well-timed "good morning" or "good night" but at what cost?
