Carphone Warehouse salesman dies in car boot

There's a reason for sleeping in the boot

He would have chosen the boot in order to avoid the risk of getting bothered by passing police officers - since the act of being inside the car and in possession of the keys may leave you liable to prosecution (don't ask me why - it's just what I've been told)

Plus also you get a better night's sleep without passers by tapping on the window to ask "are you OK?" or (worse still) reporting to the authorities their concerns about "some bloke out cold in the back of a car".

'Portable' CD player puts MP3 into a spin

Oh Dear...

Why do people have to write such ignorant, smart@rse comments?

The original poster was CORRECT inasmuch as the RPM of a CD *does* change from the centre to the edge. However, they meant throughout the DURATION of the playback - from centre (programme start) to edge (programme end), and NOT at any one moment in time! - D'oh!

CDs are recorded in what's known as a CLV format (constant linear velocity) as opposed to CAV (constant angular velocity) - so the rotational speed gradually slows down towards the end of the recording.

It's usually a good idea to check your understanding of the facts before taking the p*ss out of other people.
