So what happens when, despite very strict "Do NOT talk or text" rules, you decide to text in the Alamo Drafthouse movie cinema in Austin, Texas and ignore the two warning you are given? You get kicked out without a refund. What happens when you then call up and leave a snotty ranting voicemail? You become a movie star!!!
I was listening to Radio 4 this morning and heard something quite interesting, not surprising, but quite revealing: apparently the UK now spends more on Sky satellite TV than it does on bread. What does that tell you about the UK market?
To me it says we (the collective UK population) have our priorities completely wrong. We'd rather spend our money…
Picture this: it's a lovely cool, clear crisp day. You're walking along the high street enjoying yourself when you hear it: the sound of buckets full of change rattling. You look up and very quickly spot the source of the sound: several people are ahead of you waving buckets and banners purporting to be collecting for charity XYZ. What do …
In an attempt to encourage people to join up and lose those excess pounds put on over Christmas, a very large independent health club in Bristol displayed great big banners on the side of the road bearing a little green man and declared:

My respect for the BBC is starting to wain. This morning, the news was all about how WiFi 'may' kill me (I like to exaggerate - it connects with The Sun readers better ;-) ). Now this afternoon it's not. Make up your mind.
I wish researchers would make up their bloody minds about our exposure to sunshine: in one breathe they say, "Oooh, sunshine is bad. It gives you skin cancer and you'll die, so stay out of the sun". Then they say, "Oooh, sunshine is good. It provides you with Vitamin D that helps protect your from cancer and also helps lift …
Do people actually listen to voicemail? As a company policy, we must setup our voicemail on a daily basis, state our name, company, the date and if we're going to be away from our desk or are working odd hours.
When I work shifts, particularly late shifts, like this week, I set my voicemail the night before, just before I go…
The time has come... Carlos Alberto Parreira touched down in Johannesburg this morning to start his life as the most highly paid person in the South African public eye.
