..his own power.
For those who are not familiar with him, Peter Mandelson is one of the most skilled, cynical and cunning politicians in recent British history. A true heir to Macchiavelli's crown, he has shown himself unparelleled in his ability to attain and retain power. The guy has been sacked from the British cabinet on two occasions, but still managed to emerge with his acreer intact. His trick is to make himself invaluable as the right hand man of the guy with the power. First Blair, now Barrosso. He is not the sort to be bought by Microsoft. He will stay close to them just as long as they are useful to him and no longer. I think this a case where the cynical MS lobbyists have met their match.
You'll notice the gp wrote "British rail network" not "British Rail network". Of course there's a British rail network. It runs on track owned by Network Rail, with services operated by the TOCs. It may have many owners, but there's still a network. You can still use one ticket to travel between any two stations in the country.
Occasionally I tread a pretty fine line between kosher and not-so-kosher (a recent issue over feral animals comes to mind), but I know where the line is that you just shouldn't step over.
If you insist on raping badgers you deserve all you get. Dear god, man! Have some self-respect!
A right wing rag that backed Clinton and Kerry (albeit grudgingly), supports gay marriage, legalisation of drugs, gun control, abolishment of the death penalty..?
BBC World is profit-making, and doesn't get any UK govt money at all. The licence fee is just for the content for UK consumption: the 8 BBC TV channels and the dozens of local and national radio stations. Any BBC TV station with commercials is not govt-funded.
The World Service is actually funded separately from the rest of the BBC. It doesn't get licence fee cash, but is instead funded through a grant from the Foreign Office.
A few pizza places here in the UK get you to make your first order from a landline. Once you've had a delivery to your address then they'll accept orders from any phone.
They have this in the UK

There's a very similar sounding system running in the UK, in London, Edinburgh, Bristol and Brighton. It's run by Smart Moves, and involves cars that are parked in designated spots, booked by phone or web, with access via smartcard. It's been quite polular here in Bristol, by all accounts, and many new housing developments are including car club spaces in their plans.
I have seen this firsthand in London, where real estate prices continue to climb, while the Northern England and certainly Scotland prices are stable or slightly falling.
This was the case until recently, but as the UK property boom started in London the south-east, so has the slow-down. While prices continue to rise in areas where the bubble was late in arriving, the areas where the bubble is already inflated have started to slow or deflate.
He works with chemists, physicists, psychologists and even neuroscientists in order to come up with some creations that sound crazy but taste incredible. Stuff like tobacco ice cream, sardine sorbet, and frying potatoes in syrup and injecting them with benzaldehyde to create marzipan chips (fries). He's one of the best chefs in europe.
Your implied comment on UK govt IT projects is valid, but in this case there is a very detailed plan. Of course, this doesn't mean it will bear any resemblance to reality, or that this purchase is part of this plan.
I can't get a link, thanks to slashdotting, but there was one like this in the UK. The confluence was in a restricted area of a munitions dump. The guy eventually got permission to enter, but not before sending Garmin's emissions data for his GPS unit, among other things. These guys sure do persevere!
They have form letters to download on the site, in several languages, to be given to landowners, explaining what the project is about.
The issue isn't whether US law would allow it. The issue is that only citizens of the Commonwealth are given the right to call themselves "Sir" when they recieve a knighthood from the Queen.
A year or so ago McDonald's actually did a very funny parody of these sort of ads. It was when they were doing a promotion involving Indian-style meals or something, and they showed cinema ads done in the style of the 80s low-budget curryhouse ads. "McDonald's: just 5 minutes from this theatre" or something.
If you don't like speed limits, then campaign to get them changed. Hell, break them, for all I care. Just don't come over indignant when the authorities try to catch you breaking it. You can make as many self-justifying arguments that you like about how speeding isn't dangerous, but that's irrelevant when the question is enforcement. Save that for arguing against the law itself. The fact is, the speed limits are 20/30/40/50/60/70mph (whichever the particular situation is). So, unless youy're saying there should be no speed limits at all then stop your self-righteous braying about them enforcing the limits.
I don't know where you are, but most of the Gatsos near me are in the city, near shopping areas, residential areas and schools. Places with 30 or 40 limits, almost exclusively. The only motorway camera here is where the motorway ends in the city centre.
What are you complaining about? Speeding is against the law. Speed cameras mean you get caught. Well, boo-hoo. Excuse me if I don't shed any tears over the fact that if you break the law you may get caught. Or is it not sporting if it's too easy for them to catch you?
BT is BT. Sure, officially they are British Telecommunications plc, but it's not like you'd bother looking up what AT&T stood for, when all you needed to know was "it's a big telco".
