I get more spam from Pakistan than anywhere else. Even when I opt out, they opt me back in.

End it on a high

The last series did have some great moments (my favourite was Moss giving evidence in court)

There's only 3-4 FreeSat HD recorders on the market, and Humax haven't released a new once since 2009

It's not easy trying to survive cancer

respect to him for fighting on and staying on at work - I would have retired on the first medical leave.

Anyone seen the film "Pirates of Silicon Valley"? It was a funny look at the early days of Microsoft and Apple.
