Adam, I am not sure what NYLON is saying about £2,000 insurance. Can you get him to explain.

Anybody who has savings with Northern Rock has 100% of their savings guaranteed by the UK Government. If money is with another back the first £35,000 is guaranteed by the Government if the bank goes under.

With regards to the IRA and the current terrorist threat, one clear difference is that the IRA almost always phoned in warnings about any bombings, not always helpful I might add but at least people got a chance. I don't think people walked around in fear of the IRA and I seriously don't think people are walking around in fear of any terrorrists now in the UK.

If there is a need to scare UK peope then to we need a regular news report/channel for stupid people, i.e. Fox News UK.

resent it is - see my email entitled "UK reloaded"!

Me thinks that this weekly EU commentary from meself is good thing (and good enrichment of DSC since it is so different than anything on DSC) because without EU there would be at least 5 wars among current EU members since WW2 and EU is after all something to be proud about.

BTW: now that Silverlight is coming also to nokia phones, time is ripe for Podshow to support it ! Maybe this, combined with flashlite3 support, could be the workaround of the Podshow's poor support for mobile phones in general.

you played Thecandyman and Nylon (2!) comments but not mine (entitled "UK")? Should I understand that you don't want any audio comments from me anymore? Oki Doki then. Anyways why should you care about EU - you already milked it by getting permit in UK and now you don't need it anymore.

Patricia flying with easyJet ? Shame on you Adam! She should use BA or KLM.

Hurrey, Nylon is back!!! only 2000 pounds insured in UK? Oh fuck.

Volume level of some comments is too low. Pump them up, Adam!

Anyways: very good episode.

This was one of the better shows in recent history.

My HD channel can be found by clicking on the icon on the left and then check out "my channels".

The high-pitched sound was useful to test whether my hearing is still kind of OK. Another great service by PodShow!

Adam, mute the mic when listening to voice mail comments. We are not interested in you sniffing and snorting through the comments... Haven't you learnt anything in your 135-year career!
