Add to that NuDeflation, where prices keep going up.

MP Frank Field was saying much the same years ago.

That should be interesting. 0.25%? Then 0.15%? Then 0.05%?

Detached from reality?

Putting the blame on Johnny Foreigner.

That grey cladding/coating looks like the kind of thing you see in very rough neighbourhoods.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how "unexpected" was this?

Reminds me of Britain is well placed to weather the "first financial crisis of the new global age" thanks to Labour's handling of the economy, Gordon Brown has said

A nice piece of kit, especially with Ice Cream Sandwich installed. HP seemed to be changing their corporate minds every 5 minutes at one point but worse, they were doing their shilly-shallying in public.

Yikes. On that basis, I have become a credit virgin.

Not to be confused with the Peterson Foundation (president David M. Walker of I.O.U.S.A. fame).

A friend of mine has a flat built in the mid-90s that inspires mild claustrophobia. Cramped, not much in the way of windows. At least I can walk away, what must it be like to live their all the time?

Phil Spencer - Secret Agent Stick with Johnny English, he's funnier.

Or Ian Hislop.

Sooooo.... worth a watch on iPlayer? I ask because I've spent large sums on dental work over the past few years and I don't want to undo the good work through excessive teeth grinding.

Hi DTMark, Just sent you a test message, it seemed to go through OK. Let me know if the problem persists.

What Puts You Off A Property On Rightmove? Walls curving/sloping due to excessive wide-angle lens usage. Suggests that the rooms are tiny. Shots of the bathroom where the sink in the foreground looks massive compared to the toilet. Same thing again. A "dining room" designed for anorexics (not much room to get out of your chair). Suggests that this "room" was not intended for that purpose. Oh, and pricing it as if it were still 2007.

Was this "unexpected"? I see no inflation.

"When your neighbour's job is outsourced, it's a recession. When your job is outsourced, it's a depression".

Most people must have switched to flat screen TVs by now. The 3D scam is clearly not encouraging people to trade to up to persistent eye strain the "magic" of 3D.

Were those books you'd purchased (maybe with DRM?) All the books on mine are from, erm... unorthodox sources.

eBook applications do some alternative firmware for the 505. http://ebookapplications.com/2010/12/firmware-for-sony-ereaders-v1-10-0-4-with-applications/ (right-hand column) If it's similar to the one I put on my 650, you can easily return to your normal Sony firmware by deleting the folder it puts on your 505.

And I make the tea.

Classic blitzkrieg tactics.
