Jezza Clarkson cops flak for 'truckers murder strumpets' gag

Check mirror?

Not when changing lane they don't.

Boris Johnson bans boozing on London transport

Ban everything

Yes, that's the solution. Ban it. Like the handgun ban - now nobody carries a handgun...

The only people who will cause a problem by drinking on public transport are the people who will just ignore the ban and carry on anyway.

Will bird flu stuff our Happy Christmas?

Make mine a pheasant

I don't think I have ever had turkey for Christmas.

It's always been pheasant, or partridge (a whole one each), or one year it was one of those bird-in-bird things with a succession of smaller birds stuffed in larger ones. Delicious.

Oz barmaid fined for crushing beer cans between jubs

The Author should be renamed Half-a-Job Bob

I'm having difficulties picturing the incidents in question. Some photographs would help greatly.

Sensory jacket deals body blow to gamers

Windows XP "or better"?

So Linux will be fine then?

Comcast busted for bagging BitTorrents (again)

Shame they dont...

...do the same for SPAM. 75% of the SPAM that arrives in my mailbox is from Comcast's network but despite me (in the past, I get too much to bother now) reporting it to them they seem to have done stuff all about it.

Cisco Brazil hit by massive police raid

Erm...

I'm probably about to get quite spectacularly corrected, but how can $500m worth of goods generate $833m of tax? Surely that's 166%.

Belkin wi-fi problem!

Change the channel

Try changing the channel on the N1. If someone else nearby has a wireless network operating on the same channel it may be interfering with yours.

TalkTalk slams slamming charges

I hope they go bust

It took Talktalk four months to set up our phone services. We had rude emails from them when we complained, and then it took them another two months to disconnect our line when we moved house.

I'm not sure if they're willingly devious or just incompetent, but either way I wouldn't p*** on them if they were on fire.
