Music lovers move to block Phil Collins' rebirth

Non Story?

Isn't this a bit of a non-story? So what if someone wants to raise a petition to stop Phil Collins from making a comeback. It's not like it will make any difference for them. They may get a few signatures but ultimately any such petition will be ignored.

Personally I like Phil Collins, Genesis and all sorts of music from the 70's and 80's but don't feel the need to push my personal likes or dislikes onto other people. Not everyone is a fan but so what?

Dave unwrapped his new thumb controller joystick and smiled nervously. He realised that everything looks smaller in the adverts.

John smiled as he spotted the newly installed big 'Do Not Press' button.

Tom realised that his newly invented laser razor blade was going to need some work on miniaturisation.

"DON'T PANIC: Facebook returns after 30-minute outage terror"

Eh. What! Can't say as I noticed.

Must remember not to panic!

Apple: Now that you've updated to iOS 7... YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK

Quote: 'However, this doesn't seem to have affected the success of the latest operating system, which Apple claimed was the "fastest software upgrade in history".'

Public Relations at it's fastest spin.

Having an operating system that is the 'fastest software upgrade in history' does not make it a success. It just means lots of people clicked the button to upgrade when the Phone/iTunes told them there was update to the operating system.

Apple iOS 7 makes some users literally SICK. As in puking, not upset

"They're holding it wrong"

No. They're looking at it in the wrong way.

Rotten Apple iOS 7 fury: Glitchy audio or is today's music really that bad?

"But fans of the new flat design claim it turns iThings into an entirely new product."

Something like a Fisher Price Toy then?

MPs: This paperless health service plan isn't worth the paper it isn't written on

£10 Billion...

And of course the NHS will have to make more cuts in services to save the £10 Billion that has been wasted by successive governments.

Not Playing...

I spent aged playing with my NIPPLE getting it just right. What's wrong with my NIPPLE?

Besides it's not just a bodily organ you know...

Right next door to 'Ballast Narrows' and just up from 'Womans Bay'.

And not to mention 'Bogues Bay'. oops! sorry shouldn't have metioned that.

"Human flight is fine; it's the landing that's problematic."

The art of flying is to launch yourself at the ground and miss.

It usually helps if you get distracted at the last possible moment and therefore forget to hit the ground.

UK.gov finally admits it will MISS superfast broadband target

Re: No shit.

"TV broadcasters do not use consumer broadband. I don't doubt fibre was installed, but it wouldn't have been any use to people at home wanting better broadband."

Doesn't matter. Fibre is Fibre. Just put the right hardware on each end to make it consumer broadband. Make good use of what has already been put into the ground. Complete waste of money to lay the cable then rip it up again.

Re: How many hours wasted?

"I'd you'd copied the floppies to hard drive, install took less than a minute on a slowish 286 with 1Mb memory!"

I'd forgotten that we used to do that. Certainly did make it faster and you could leave it chugging away unattended and come back later. Often set several of them going at the same time when rolling out new hardware.

How many hours wasted?

I remember installing Windows 3.0 from 5.25" floppy disc. It took quite a while to install.

Although installing Windows for Workgroups 3.11 from 3.5" floppies sometimes took upto 2 hours to install.

Installing Windows95 from CD was a giant leap forward.

Why can't you tell us? Have you forgotten? has it been that long? :-)
