As tragic as this is – on most voip call software/phones, it does say “do not use for emergency calls”

Perhaps the techies who create the system could bar emergency calls altogether, or divert them somewhere else

Problem is though, when you use VOIP and get rid of your main line carrier (e.g. BT) then the system falls down.

I used to be a fraud manager for one of the credit card companies and when a new fraud scam was discovered, we at first, kind of admired it – then we set about blocking it from happening again.

Like this scam, there is an element of “well done” to it, but in the next breath it is now a case of lets hope that the relevent cicil servants do something to stop this happening again before everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

Put his language aside (I know, it’s f***ing hard!) and you actually see a man who is genuinely passionate about food

So, he makes a fortune from swearing and in that respect I think he’s becoming his own caracature – no he’s not going to stop driving his 4wd and I’m sure he’s not going to put energy efficient light bulbs in his restaurants …

We should eat fresh and local and wherever possible/affordable organic – after all, it’s what goes in our mouth that either kills us or enables us to live.

Personally, rather than attacking restaurants for not cooking with local/seasonal, it’s the supermarkets that should be blamed and fined.

They are the ones responsible for importing huge quantities of food from far away – tasteless, bland and sprayed with more preservatives than Michael Jackson.

OMG – I’m ranting. Need to put this in a new thread

Before I go, back to the point – Ramsey’s character is what it is (personally, I find it vulgar), but his passion for his subject is undeniable.

have you tried plugging speakers into your ipod/mp3 socket – if sound comes out of that, then it’s your computer that’s buggered
