Well well well … who would have thought that THIS was a part of the mix???
Maybe this explains why it ia the Social Services have retained Sharon in care for so long?
Could her stepfather AND her “Uncle” (currently on remand awaiting trial) have BOTH been involved in her apparent kidnap?

Well Sharon, with Tesco.com and the like you have the chouice of buying your preferred track as a ‘stand alone’ OR buying the entire album.
I think that this is a lot more fair as with albums, lots of the tracks aren’t that interesting and in reality you only want one or two tracks from it.
Yes record companies have been ”overcharging” for…[Read more]

As it happens Emma you CAN download a single track from a CD for around 78pence which I think is a ‘fair’ price. Within this payment is a ‘royalty’ to the singer / songwriter as well as a profit element to the distributer and a cost recovery and profit element to the production company. Win win all round – and at a sensible price.
You can also…[Read more]

True …. but it’s only the retail margin that has been affected by the supermarkets. The record company still gets a ‘fair’ price from the supermarkets (or chain retailers) geared usually to volume.
People who (illegally) download for free from various sites simply steal without paying.

As it happens Sharon this simply isn’t true.
My neighbour is (oe was) a Director of a major record company and was responsible for sales (of CDs). He worked for them for some 20+ years then along came the internet and illegal (i.e. free) downloading.
Net result is that their sales crashed, and loads of people were made redundant – including…[Read more]

Leaving aside the ”class warfare” issues for a brief but wonderful moment – I can see and understand the necessity for foxhunting to take place on the grounds that it is a viable and practical method of controlling vermin.
At the end of it all the fox still ends up dead – whether it is poisoned; shot; or killed by a pack of hounds.

Speaking on behalf of toffee nosed hooray Henrys worldwide …. let me assure you that there is nothing defenceless about a fox. Nasty creatures – red in tooth and claw – they are quite rightly classed as vermin.
Feeding them to a pack of hounds is the only language they understand.

Maybe we could have a new internet hard man called “Clint Anscombe” with a character called “Dirty Geoff”??
His catch phrase might be “C’mon baby … make my night” as he performs in front of a webcam.
The final scene (in homage to the real Dirty Harry) could be “Dirty Geoff” tossing it into a pond.

I wish trained marksmen really were the answer to controlling the fox population (i.e. killing them off).
We are plagued with ”urban foxes” and the thought of a ‘trained marksman’ patrolling the streets and shooting at them in people’s back gardens, whilst the little bleeders shred the garbage and spread it everywhere, fill me with dread.
