BBC News | SCI/TECH | Cult coffee machine sold (#)
„Dan Gordon, a scientist at Cambridge University, was quoted by Reuters as saying the site had attracted more than two million viewers since 1993. "Once, some American tourists called into the tourist information centre (in Cambridge) and asked where (the coffee-pot) was so they could visit it," Gordon said. "They took lots of photos. It's not really very impressive though, it's just a coffee-pot."

BBC - collective - Earl Zinger
„Even more rarely do they tell you who they are. Hats off to Earl Zinger (and the Red Egyptians) at Wolverhampton Civic Hall last Tuesday night for the opening remarks, 'We're here to warm you up for Zero 7.'Incidentally when was the last time you saw the last two bands in your music collection on the same bill? Thought not.Playing selections from Speaker Stack Commandments (!K7167CD on !K7 records) we were treated to a mix of ska, hip hop and dance/electronica. The four members of the band swapped instruments with ease and constantly reminded us to be warm ready for Zero 7.“

BBC News | BUSINESS | Germany's feeling the pinch
„Germans have not benefited from tax cuts "You can't blame the government wholly because they have introduced structural tax reforms which have helped (to stimulate the economy) but were largely cancelled out by the high the oil price," says Mr Hausen. Germany's main trade union body, the Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund (DGB) agrees. "The government has done everything it can within the confines and can't always stimulate the economy because you have to be careful the deficit doesn't get too big," says the DGB's chief economist Wolfgang Scheremet. "The weakness is not because of any mistake of the government's but due to high energy costs and the global economic downturn." German stimulus Last year the Schroeder government restructured business and personal taxation by limiting corporate taxes to 36% while the top band of income tax was to be cut from over 50% to 42% by 2005.“

BBC - Coventry and Warwickshire Features - Perfect festive wine
„"It needs to be kept airtight then you can pour it off through a coffee filter - you can't make a mistake, just do it," he said.You can't keep it in a decanter for too long, just one week means it loses a lot of its flavour complexities, so you do really need to have a decent amount of people around.Even though Christmas is now dominated by cream liquers after dinner, Phil urged that whisky should not be forgotten - and there are few things better than a decent single malt.As an after dinner malt, Laphroaig is a top selection (and a nice present, if the family are reading), which starts at £22, and The Glenrothes is another excellent Scotch - the 1989 bottle is particularly recommended.“
