Wet Wet Wet? no thanks-it was Motorhead but the sound of the music/ringtone was exactly the same as the sound of one of the taps at work so everytime one of my chefs washed their hands I checked my phone! LB Dino,

I think at times we all wish for something a little easier, especially as the years pass by, I for one would welcome some easy living. I turned the TV on the other morning, a bit of GMTV in the morning, the first thing to greet me was the weather girl, nothing wrong with her, very pleasing, but talk about bad news, rain-rain and more rain, then the main news, more doom and gloom, while taking all this lot in the postman arrives, three hours earlier than usual, yes you guessed it more bad news, bills!. So back to easy living, if there is such a thing as easy living out there, please let me know. Another worrying thing, there seems to be a lot of people leaving the country in search of sun and I presume easy living. If any of you that have baled out of the UK for a better life style (easy living) are reading this please let me know if it all worked out, I may follow shortly. Thanks, Easy Living

I get particularly annoyed when they are older series or films, they've more than had their money out of them. Wild pricing also. I bought my Sharpe box set for £40, a good price, very happy with it. The same retailer now wants £100 for it despite the fact you can still buy it elsewhere for £40 ! Craig,

Six DVDs in the Deadwood 3 boxset? Manufacturing cost will be less than 20% of the retail price (hence the reason that you can get Chinese imports for £15) These series are created for TV, and so are supposedly paid for by the advertising that interrupts them. How then can the studios justify such extortionate pricing? Question - if it is legal to record programmes to watch later (via video or DVD recorder) in your own home, then it must be legal to download said programmes from torrent sites? Re: DVDs
