Brown wants UK controls 02:23am on 21 Jul 2009 Euroscot (1) - I thought the blame for the global financial collapse was all to do with offshore financial centres. Don't tell me we've been lied to all this time and it was really the greed of places like London and New York which were really responsible.!
The strange case of Macau, the tax haven that disappeared 5:35pm on 03 Apr 2009 Dammit,

Now I'm going to have to resort to running my money through the two centres which are so murky they didn't even make it onto the black list - London and New York!
Apple's "brave" price rise 10:48pm on 03 Mar 2009 Not sure what the price has to do with the dollar or the yen.

Order a Mac online and watch it start its journey from China! That's the currency to watch.
Inauguration - were you new or old media? 11:22pm on 22 Jan 2009 Aretha Franklin's performance was NOT electrifying. She took a perfectly acceptable piece of music and murdered it. Why do these stars have to seek glory at the wrong time? Her rendition was more fitted to a blues bar on Beale Street!
Births outside marriage - a real cause for concern 7:05pm on 24 Sep 2008 I seem to remember reading that the out-of-wedlock birth rate in Edinburgh in the early 1800s was around 50% and that the (Western) nuclear family was a phenomenon of the post-World War II generation.

Can anyone substantiate this?
Gold confirms Cooke's cycling talent 5:34pm on 10 Aug 2008 Nice account, but what was the event? How far did she cycle?
You Are The Ref #4 8:11pm on 13 Jun 2008 #14. The word deliberate as used in Law 12 for "deliberately kicked" means the opposite of "accidentally", e.g by a miskick if the ball bounces awkwardly. Further, the ball does not have to be kicked to the goalkeeper, but rather to anywhere the goalkeeper can pick it up.
