Do you knock before entering?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 10 May 07

Knock, knock, who's there? It's me, wizzy! What do you want? Let me in, let me in! :P I typically have my room door closed when I am in the room. I don't like being disturbed and being the very private me, I don't fancy...

thepressbox Ah yes, a pet hate of mine too. I always knock someone's door without fail and hate it when people just barge in. I 100% agree with you lordwarwizard, it's a basic respectful and courteous thing to do. (and I too have got rid of people who don't knock...

thepressbox If you have a domain (e.g. http://www.thepressbox.co.uk) then you could "park" it via Sedo.co.uk and earn money when people click on your website. And/or get a Google Adsense account and shove adverts on your site.

Breakfast Radio - who do you listen to?

thepressbox @thepressbox (18) 12 May 07

If you live in the UK, you probably listen to Chris Moyles or Terry Wogan, or local radio. Not me. I have 3 local radio stations, one with Steve Penk (who I can't STAND), the BBC station is too old for me, so I listen to...

Can you SPEAK better than you WRITE?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 2 Apr 07

I used to be terribly bad at both. My English teacher will shake her head and express disbelief at my incompetence at writing. When I needed to give presentations, my face will turn red and I would endeavor not to trip over my...

thepressbox I don't take a holiday every year - I went on holiday within the UK last year and before that to Tenerife in 2004, Majorca in 2001 and the USA in 2000. Also, I don't pay for it (someone else does) so I don't know how much it costs ;-)

thepressbox I've still got a landline for internet, and also because non geographic numbers (in the UK that means 0845, 0870, 090 phone numbers for competitions and stuff) are really expensive with cellphones. Although I've got a cellphone to text people - sometimes...
