He hasn't, as daily telegraph journalist has spoken to him and confirmed he isn't doing that

Yes, but I heard a rumour that the Azeris are so desperate to host it in 2015, they're going to buy in a couple of Swedes to win it for them next year

Stamps are ridiculous wait till RM is privatised and they will sky rocket.

Had a proper dozy moment in Asda today wasn't watching where I was going and went to walk down the up travelator, had a bit of a shock when I stepped on it and even still took a few seconds to realise, had to laugh it off though.

Random I know, but last week I had a nice market research lady knock my door asking if I would be happy to do a survey on behalf of Ofcom about the Royal Mail. As it was nice and I've just spent a grand on a new patio, we sat outside and I did the survey. All went well until the question on the price of stamps. I thought 46p for 1st and 32p for second and was mildly shocked when told the real price of 60p and 50p. I did say to the lady I usually buy books of stamps and probably hadn't bought a single stamp since I was a student thirty years ago. She must have thought I was a right flash git, new patio and only buying stamps in bulk.

At the end of the interview I got £3 for taking part courtesy of Ofcom, so I said perhaps I could now afford to get some stamps if I need them...

I tend to only buy them at Christmas, usually have spares left over that do me when I need them so as you say you don't really think about it when you buy loads.

12 for £6 tho and I was

Does anyone know the best place to print photos? We don't like all our pictures being stored on the computer and want to go old school and print a load of them off!

Boots have little in-store computers that you can use, you just put your pics onto a USB stick and print them from there. I haven't used them myself so I have no idea how much it costs but I dare say it varies on how much you want and how big etc.

You can do them online in some places and they post them out if you trust that.
