The only thing I pay cash for these days is my haircuts. I've not put it to the test yet but theoretically my card statement should suffice as a proof of purchase. Presumably if I were returning a mouldy chicken the supermarket person could either: A) look at your credit card entry for £120...

He'd have been alright up that lamp post had he not leaned so far to the right.

I can now claim to have listened to some of his stuff, albeit only about fifteen seconds. I don't like rap, I've decided.

I think I get it. The album seems to be about oppression of black people, so calling it Golliwog would seem to tie in with that theme. He's an intriguing fellow, Woods. I've never heard any of his stuff, but one day...

Full disclosure. I know next to nothing about regional rugby, having attended just one match since regionalisation (Ospreys v Munster about 15 years ago). Are all four sides financial basket cases? I've always presumed Dragons' dire onfield showing could be attributed to not spunking money...

Yeah, a guy in my office did a show a year or three back. The programme makers helped him manufacture a "human angle" story, as without one he'd not have got the nod.

The series "A Man on the Inside" on Netflix, starring Ted Danson as a retired professor who's life takes an unexpected turn. It's a sweet comedy drama; an easy watch. I like it.

Emails from Netflix asking "What did you think of series <whatever>?". If it was shit I click the thumbs-down and it takes me into the episode guide where I can watch further episodes. That makes zero sense.

Ooh. Game changer. Googling this. Cheers.

No doubt there's a rational explanation for this, so full yer boots, boffins. Paint charts. You wander around B&Q, pondering what colour to paint your hall. Having decided on a colour you pick up a sample pot (for a bargain five quid), then slap it on your hall wall only to find it's about 37...

Is anyone on Planetswans actually young enough to have to pay for bus fare? Have they no self-respect? Instead of here, why aren't they living it up on MySpace?

I just watched a Netflix four part US police documentary on locating missing people. Just about every person featured who wasn't a police employee was utterly broken. Poverty, drugs, prostitution and killing was endemic. "Missing: Dead or Alive"

Don't look now but despite a woeful first half in Los Angeles the Raiders are still within seven and have a first and goal. This is a season highlight.

He has an array of top clubs on his CV yet hasn't played much for any of them. He's 28 now.

It's a fair question. I think if it like putting stuff in the bin when you've no use for it instead of having to step over it every time you walk into the house.
