(which had the potential to be very interesting) didn't really say anything at all. It was just warming to a point and then stopped without any discussion of changing social attitudes or statistics or anything actually relevant to this extremely complicated, emotive and violent act. it was rather disappointing.

Re Dear Dr Oliver Double, comedy lecturer - if you ever meet a Miss Entendre, can I recommend that you marry her immediately? It could progress your career no end.

on London's new Westfield shopping centre says that a till is expected to ring every 30 seconds at Westfield shopping centre. Assuming there are 265 retail shops and they're open from just 9 to 5.30 then this means each shop will make just 4 sales a day. The effects of the credit crunch strike again!

Sorry, Marcus - no takers. "A mathematical biker decides to sell his bike. The advert says the bike costs £1000 + half its price. How much is the bike?"

Personally, I'll just flick through the Argos catalogue again.
