Life's about experiences. These are mine.
I note from the BBC that it is the deadline for Northern Rock bids to be in today. Along with one from Richard Branson’s Virgin group it is expected that these will include a bid from the existing management team. This is presumably the same team that helped get Northern Rock into the predicament that …
So the new Liberal Democrat leader is in hot water already with the “revelation” that he does not believe in God. No sooner had he answered the question than he was having to beat a hasty retreat and saying things like that he had “enormous respect for people who have religious faith” and that his …
With the advent of multi-channel TV the publishers need to find something to fill these channels.
