Lay My Hat

A few months ago David Attenborough was being interviewed on Steve Wright's radio 2 programme. In the background they had these annoying animal sounds, and I found myself listening to those, rather than to what David Attenborough was saying. So my suggestion is a resounding 'no' - it's too distracti...

I was once asked through my website, 'Where are the beaches in Benalmadena?'.

Well, they are, er, next to the sea!

.....the top 10% of prolific Twitter users accounted for over 90% of tweets. MG If you took this forum as an example, I reckon around 10% of users account for around 90% of the posts. This type of thing occurs in many walks of life, and it's known as the Pareto Principle - http://en.wikipedia.org/w...

Oops, Sorry. Just spotted another thread:

la vache! wrote:Much as I dislike the guy, (he chose his wife from a swimwear catalogue and he sweats a lot) I'd put my money on Roddick at the moment.

I am sure she must have had some say in the matter. He does sweat a lot though!

I have just read an article in The Times about a bogus holiday villas website. Several people have lost thousands of pounds. I found the comment from a blogger, Rob Barham, particularly interesting. He suggested that the rental directories should introduce some sort of bonding scheme to ensure this ...

Forever being asked on travel forums:

"I am going to [insert destination] next April. Does anyone know what the weather will be like?"

I graduated over 12 years ago now and it took me 12 months of summer/christmas jobs and temping to get a job. Back then when they were telling students the streets were paved with jobs and you'd be earning thousands. I've been in that same job 11 years now and am still not earning what I was promis...

I didn't realise Ryanair flew to Paris - I thought it was Beauvais they went to!

Well, that's more money down the drain. And I am not exactly flushed at the moment.

The Mirror article also states: "They were told the money would be invested and would easily cover their mortgage payments." It seems a lot of people are not aware of the basics. i.e The value of an investment can fall as well as rise. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't believe e...

because you have a good knowledge of this particular subject. No, I know nothing about Spain, apart from what I have seen on TV. However, other readers of the newspaper may not be quite so familiar with the issues raised in the article. Umm, it was the Telegraph not the Sunday Sport. As someone fro...

Hi TTP, Is there anything in particular about this article that you didn't like....? I think the expression is 'stating the bleeding obvious'. Oh I see. In defence of the writer, I would like to say this probably would seem obvious to you, because you have a good knowledge of this particular subjec...

Hi TTP,

Is there anything in particular about this article that you didn't like (apart from the misspelling of Torrevieja)?

It's a very nice looking website. Just a couple of little things, and I realise you are doing this for the search engines, but I think you mention the word 'Brittany' a few too many times on the home page - it gets a little too repetetive. Also, I think you should mention that it's near Dinan a litt...
