Monsters of the ID come to mobile

2004 eh?

It sure would be, but it was John Romero who headed up Monkeystone Games. Romero left id around the Quake II era.

O2 offers incentives to end phone upgrade insanity

Old idea rehashed

It's a bit cheeky; I told O2 i was quite happy with my Nokia 6260 (don't laugh) when my contract initially expired 18 months ago. I renegotiated the contract, told them i didn't want an upgrade then, and landed myself with a nice £100 credit then.

It seems to be an old idea, paraded around with new bells and whistles in today's push for greener lifestyle.

It's a start, it will please a lot of environmentalists, and the consumer should have a better deal in the long run. Hell, for a low user, the £100 will pay for half the new contract term :)

Asbo-breach OAP jailed

Good result

Not entirely sure what the above poster has been reading, but on the record the neighbour has spoken about how the defendant should not actually go to jail ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/6566131.stm ).

Furthermore, I guess one can only guess at the effects that she had on her neighbours until one has experienced it themselves.

Good result

Nah, this is a good result. The lady in question lives up the road from myself, and is - and always has been - notorious for her anti-social behaviour; not just to the neighbours but generally to the residents of Abergavenny themselves.

I'm glad the courts have come down on the side of Mrs. Evans here.
