Tell me why the difference in price between an 8G and 32G Ipod touch (other devices are available) is £72 (ie £3 per G), while the difference between a 32G and 64G is only £68 (£2.25 per G).

Having been seeing my girlfriend for over 18 months, she has finally agreed to move in.  Do you fellows have any advice to ensure that we have a happy time together?

I have just ordered a new, overly large, uberchav tv.  I realise that it is this but feel that the price difference of £80 between the same size again and the obscenely large is worth it - maybe.  However it would appear that BoS Visa do not agree and blocked the transaction as it is “out of character”.  Having not used the card for over 4 months I would suggest that buying anything is out of character, but according to the lovely woman (and she was) from BoS Visa, “you don’t buy TVs very often”.  I was forced to agree with her.  Infact it has been over 10yrs.  Do they record the frequency of all these things or was the out of character the fact it is uberchav?

Our office is doing a review of the paper it buys and it has been suggested that buying paper made from virgin fibre that is certified to ISO14001 and FSC is better than recycled paper.  Is this correct?

Following a fun bit of biking in the woods I had a shower and found 3 tics.  This is not uncommon.  I know I should twist them off using the wee tools and know that I should seek medical advice should a red ring forms round the bite but sure we can do more to prevent tics.  With my dog I treat it with a spot on which reduces the number of tics dramatically.  Surely they can develop a human version?

I have noted that new housing schemes increasingly are themed with regards to road names and very commonly these themes are to do with plant names.  Surely if they are going to go down this route they have to justify it by putting these plants into gardens on these streets.  I have recently been down a Laburnum Rd without any Laburnums and know of a Red Wood Dr which has not a single Red Wood.

Dear Sirs.  Do you not think it is amazing that Pedigree Chum and Ginsters Pies have such a similar tag line?  One is good honest food while the other is real honest food.  Is this all coincidence or are these products more closely related than we think?

I have recently bought some Liptons herbal tea bags.  Though they were delicious I was shocked to find that the labels are plastic coated, the string nylon and the bag nylon.  Surely in these enlightened, home composting days it should not be allowed for companies to produce tea bags that are not compostable?

I notice in the papers that a second fox attack has occurred and was wondering if you could give some recommendations on ensuring that our children are safe from these creatures that all of a sudden seem to have taken to eating children.

It seems that a lot of shouting is being done about the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico giving their tuppence worth on the event and so I feel I would like to too.

The spill is a tragedy on a massive scale.  Not only have a large number of people lost their lives but a very large area of habitat on the west coast of the US is in danger and already countless animals and plants will have been killed.

People seem to be screaming that BP should be taken over by the US govt as they can’t handle the spillage.  BP has already gone to all other oil companies operating in the gulf and borrowed any equipment suitable for controlling such an issue.  Most worrying is the fact that none have such equipment and BP, though poorly prepared, was best prepared for such an incident.

This spill was not created by BP but instead by a series of other companies.  What BP has done is put its head above the parapet and stated that as they were funding the operation, they will take full responsibility.  Why is no one blaming the rigs owner (transocean), the operator (Halliburton), the US administration for licensing the operation, the US administration which approved the safety shut downs or even the manufacturers of the safety equipment?

The clean up costs are going to be massive and BP has said it will foot the bill.  Sadly this is putting a financial value onto environmental degradation and to a large extent this is impossible.  The money will instead largely go to businesses that are damaging the area (to varying extents) through fishing, farming and tourism.

It is strange that the US administration is going to look to have no one out of pocket for this disaster with the 10th anniversary of the Bopal disaster just the other day.  Though hundreds died and many thousands were injured and many hundreds of thousands now live within the contaminated (and it still is) area and suffer birth defects the US negotiated the compensation down to $20million and is actually still to pay half of this.

So sorry for this rant but can we have a bit of common sense with regards this issue.  BP and all the other companies involved in this issue, including the licensing authorities should foot the bill for the clean up.  What we need is an organisation to ensure that all that can be done is being done, that sufficient funds are available to fund these operations and also to compensate where business has been damaged and also someone to put in place better risk assessments which are tried in practice rather than in theory!  Can the CSC please step in??
