Here was my poor old car sitting outside the house when Google Street View came by and now it’s on the internet for everybody to see.
I feel really sorry for it that nobody bothered to ask it if it minded being photographed in an unkempt state.
OK. No real problem for me but I can see that a lot of other people wouldn’t be too happy.

I’m not at all sure what I’m trying to say in this post so I will shut up

Fans of Pink Floyd could soon be unable to buy their songs individually on websites like iTunes after lawyers for the rock band won a High Court ruling against EMI.
Band members took the record label to court on Tuesday arguing it had broken a 1999 contract.

Why shouldn’t you be able to pick and choose??
I suppose I am being devils advocate here because I have bought every album on CD and vinyl that they have ever produced so it doesn’t affect me but I would be fascinated to hear their logic
