There was an excellent article in .EXE magazine (remember that people?) by your own delightful Verity Stob, about playing Lemmings and then breaking into the office to complete a level having dreamt of the solution? Any chance of a link? Can't find it on Google...
The down side of this ruling is the new found legality of allowing matches to be shown at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon. Currently no live matches may be shown at that time so as to not discourage football fans from attending lower league football by giving them the opportunity to watch 'better' football. This will no longer be the case.
I thought I was on to a winner with this. They've just resurfaced my road so digging some of it up for fibre laying looked to be a dead cert but alas no.
The war has changed. Did it? The answer is no, unless it is yes!
No, of course it is. is war...yes? No?! Yes?!

"When we made the original decision [to charge], the image was provided to us on disc. The defence requested details of where the image was on the computer and when the computer was checked, the image was no longer there. In light of that, we felt we could no longer go ahead with the case."
The old "Cut & Paste" rather than "Copy & Paste" mistake I'll wager.
...as I received my Starbucks ad when I was 3 miles from the nearest town that has said establishment. Obviously I did seriously consider the offer so tempting that maybe I should rush to the nearest Starbucks but managed to talk myself down.
Personally I'd rather see the country go to hell in a handbasket before I start wearing chunky arran sweaters, sandals with socks, a large woolly beard and listening to scrawny folk singers singing "Hey nonny nonny" with a finger in their ear.
There may not be specific laws covering BMWs but the drivers seem to have their own rules considering the use of indicators. So much so, for a long time, I was under the impression that indicators were an optional extra on BMWs.

There is also 71, 74 and 75 on the other page, which probably mean something really important....maybe....errr....dunno...
