Interesting. Most of the early reviews had it pretty much side by side with the Nexus 7. Main ways it fell down were it being a little stuttery (but it was an early view, it's not out yet) and a little bigger/heavier.

Got a message from o2 asking if I would like to go to the top of the o2 arena to pick up my new iPhone 5 with five other people. I'm scared of heights, but would beat the queues. Would be an amazing experience, but undecided... Would you do this?

I agree that if a households benefits are join then they should share tax advantages too, but that's not going to happen, unfortunately. No, but when a business is making just enough for keep a few of people in employment, I don't think forcing them to close and place more people on the...

This is interesting. With respect to your first point. What would you propose, being taxed together or benefits based on individuals? The problem with the former is that if you're a higher rate taxpayer then your partner should by definition be a higher rate tax payer. The problem with the...

Why are they not that good?

I'd wait for the Kindle Fire too. £129 for the standard screen or £159 for the HD screen. When it is released it will be the best and the cheapest tablet available (excluding the iPad, but some might argue to the contrary).

And put those small businesses that are currently struggling well and truly in the shit? £10 minimum wage is too much for a small business to afford.

I think the problem you will find is that people will see that and automatically think of themselves, not the situation of those in receipt of the benefits. If you're entitled to something, why am I not entitled to something? Too many people think the country owes them a living or a favour and...

double post.

Does that make it a strong league or a poor one. A good league or a bad one. Different winners are not representative of quality. The Premier League was won on goal difference last year, one point a couple of years before that, a couple of points before that. There have been many tight races...

I agree. However, I'm not sure it would work. You'd need to spend money on training, monitoring, sick pay (when off sick if it's paid work, unless voluntary with benefits). Plus correcting mistakes and re-doing bad work. Even saving £10 a month over 6 years would be enough for a holiday for...

I have friends from afar that have all asked to be taken to a local game when they visit. So it does happen.

I don't think Newcastle, Blackburn or Leeds thought they would be relegated either.

But those in receipt of benefits are outweighed by the financial influence the super-rich have over the government. Dave won't want to upset his mates down at the golf club by chasing tax avoiders and evaders. Christ, even his Dad set up a an offshore investment fund to do this,.

Fixed.

Absolutely 100% this. Which is what I've said. Public sector workers earn and pay taxes, just like everybody else.

On your first point, whether you view it as recycled government money or not, public servants also pay taxes. The point being that they're not part of the population that don't. On the second point, how do you take into consideration things like contributions to rent and the number of dependants...

You speak like all United supporters are like this. It was a small minority of the crowd that sang that song. Lest you forget, Liverpool supporters are still, to this very day after the Hillsborough papers were released, going on about Munich. Does that mean Liverpool lack class, too? Just this...

I'd like a Brighton win, but think a draw on this one. Winnings from last week on the draw.

Whilst a third not working might be correct (I'm not sure it is though, sounds a little too high) don't forget most of these might not be in receipt of a benefit. Unfortunately most statistics concentrate on those within the working population, this is those between the ages 16-64. So you have...
