Now that should have been me. Back in the '80s when I worked for Visionhire I predicted that folk would just want cable TV they would have access to TV/films and all sorts of information via their telephone wires!
I should be as rich as Suranga Chandratillake!

strictly
Dave's dance was either Bob Hope Road to Strictly with Dorothy Lamour or Eric Morecambe!
My vote was for Abbey - why no standing ovation?

No to Asserby - more evidence to Damn Windmills
Read this - look at the Graphic describing just how Futile Windmills are (sorry Windturbines). Don Quixote would be proud.
To get the same output of the Hinkley B on its 430acre site they would have to cover upto HALF a MILLION acres with Turbines. Also they'd pay them more than Hinkley for the priveledge of generating (or not) since wind isn't 24x7 output.
CRAZY

Hooray for New Nuclear Power Station at Hinkley Point - No to Asserby Windfarm
I'm against Windfarms and Nuclear but in this case I think we've got a good deal for the New Hinkley point Power station from EDF and the Chinese.
Forget for now my anti- Nuclear stance for another day. In this case I think the £92.50 per Megawatt hour they will get. Remember this is not until 2023. Quite probably the price of electricity will have doubled by then. the wholesale price is£50 per MWH right now. It has doubled in the last 10 years and this power station is about 10years late due to the last Governments dithering and the Dash-for-gas - which is why we're in a pickle now.
WE NEED THE POWER.
IT WILL ONLY GIVE US 7% (Less than a tenth what we need). What else will they build?
Compared to Wind Energy which is unreliable at least this will give us a reliable decent chunk.
Don;t forget that £92.50 per MWH
WINDFARMS already get £100 per MWH and £155 per MWH if they're at sea. This payment is index linked until 2037. No wonder all these wind turbines are going up. Its not to power Britain just to make the Landowners very rich.
Who's complaining about that?
Not to forget that Windfarms get paid for NOT Generating electricity - now what about that!
Who's is complaining that they get over £200 per MWH when NOT generating electricity. these are known as Constraint payments and are perfectly legal under current (daft) rules.
Windfarms get the wholesale price for selling their electricity plus 1 ROC on land, 2 ROCs at sea.
When the Grid doesn't want their electricity, for example when its WINDY and WARM in summer they CHARGE compensation to the GRID but can get £220 per MWH.
Is this not JUST PLAIN STUPID?
Complain to Dave about this. Tell him to cut the ROCS and build proper power stations. Or does he just like to be plain sCameron?
We're not fooled.

Claudia Winkleman - NO! rather watch a SLug!
I normally respect Amanda Platell's opinions but this is just wrong. How on earth can she think Claudia Winkleman is any good at all?
She has the charisma of Mr Dead and her dress sense, who died?
What she says never makes sense - just about any other presenter would be preferable except perhaps Jonathan Ross!
Tess is a lovely girl and brings fun and style to the show. Sir Bruce is par excellance.
There she was again - wearing a Sack this weekend. Has she got a medical problem? She makes funny noises - oh I think its supposed to be merry banter!

British Gas rise
No surprise BG put up prices just 10+% is a bit steep . The rest Will follow . What do we do? People Will revolt . It Will take a while but when it bites? Riots? Its the government's fault. There's been no sensible policy for years. Dash for gas, no nuclear ~ now no gas, coal shutting down. if like France we had solid cheap nuclear now the prices would be stable. For now they could help by cutting VAT. Why tax the poorest ?
