  2. I bought a new laptop last year with Windows 8. It took a little while to understand it. They then brought out 8.1 which is far better and there was a significant update just last week. I am now quite happy with Windows 8.1 even though I still use XP on my works laptop. I have a MS Office 'homeworker' licence which cost a one-off £9.95.

  10. The Restoration Man Today on Channel 4 from 8:00pm to 9:00pm
  11. I think that adverts should make it clear if a celeb is 'endorsing' a product or simply doing a voice-over. What makes the celebs experts in the products?
  12. My nominations for the most irritating adverts are (in alphabetical order as I cannot decide which is worst): Cillit Bang Safestyle Wonga.com (and any payday loan for that matter)

  19. Thank heavens - they do not make them like the Lada Samara anymore. The DashCam quality seems quite good.
  20. Thank heavens, The video shows mark 1 Lada Samara which is in fact a 1980's car, The production of last incarnation of the Lada Samara only ended in 2013. Truly a rubbish car whichever decade it was built. Forward looking dash cameras are very common in Russia, anyone have one in the UK?
