		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Peter Falk died.  The 83 year old veteran actor had had dementia for a few years &#8211; an ironic end for a man who will always be known as Columbo, the dishevelled homicide detective with the razor sharp mind. Enough will be (rightly) written about Mr Falk over the next few days, and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Those of us of a certain age in IT will remember Apple&#8217;s famous TV advert for the groundbreaking &#8216;Macintosh&#8217; computer back in 1984.  The advert, here on You Tube, portrayed how the Mac would free computer users from the grasp of the evil Corporate Computer giants (such as IBM and Microsoft) and did a lot [...]]]></description>

One of the reasons why there has been radical political change in the UK in the last year is that the British people have finally started getting truly fed up with MPs on the &#8216;gravy train&#8217; who seem to prosper whilst the rest of the country goes down the plughole.  Until 2006, [...]]]></description>
