BBC - Top of the Pops - Top 5 - Marshall Matters (#)
„No offence to Mazzer herself, but when we found out that Em had signed up to appear in a loosely autobiographical film in which he plays a wannabe music star (is there, like, only one script idea for cinematic popsters in all of Hollywood?), the spectre of her unbelievably bad flick 'Glitter' sprang to mind straight away. So it's even more of a shock to discover that the man can not only rap like a mutha, he can act his ass off too. But there's no need for Mariah to feel blue, after all, can he sing like a steam kettle and look good in a very, very small dress?“

„Well, at the risk of paraphrasing mazzer - "Thanks, I thought I'd leave it that way." Um...I just got to thinking about the ultimate conclusion of future history - we'll explore everywhere sooner or later... Ladies and gentlemen, it's the Most Downbeat Ending In The World... Ever!Thanks for the kind words, little, I'm glad you enjoyed it!“

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 News | Hurricane Mitch | Coffee crops hit by hurricane
„But up to 25% of the crop in Guatemala, the biggest producer, is at risk, while hundreds of thousands of bags of coffee have been destroyed in Costa Rica, Honduras and El Salvador. Coffee prices may rise because of the hurricaneEstimates of the damage have been hampered by the destruction of transport links, which has meant it has been impossible to reach the plantations to make an assessment. The road damage has also put the remainder of the crop at risk. Continual rain has sped up the ripening of the beans, which will rot if they cannot reach processing mills in time.“

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.“

„Many retail stores pride themselves on their wonderful sales, never realizing that the customers absolutely *hate* the sales because anything they might concieveably want is either sold out or reduced form $60 to $59.99. But at least the employees are cheerful, providing the coffeepot and Coke machine are still in working condition.“
