Preorder? I'll stick to the shop thanks...

Is the Wii hype getting a bit much?
I only ask because after being sucked into the whole Chicken Little stylee 'they're going to sell out! They're going to sell out!' hysteria of the launch of Wii Fit on Friday and preordering mine, I ended up finding them available in a plethora of shops with none of the hassle I've gone through the last couple of days. And I'm still Wii Fitless.
Being Human commissioned for full series. Finally! (1)

The nature of my job is such that I get a lot of press releases through every day. Depressingly most of them are dross. There are a shocking number that are misspelled, misaddressed (no, I'm not a man, or the Editor), or downright misguided (why would I care that it's national Alfalfa Sprout week?). Of course there are useful press releases that come through - well written ones that make your job easier but, alas, they are the minority.

Blimey. As a geek I'm used to getting excited about the kind of random niche things that, when you try to explain them, involve long explanations, a fair amount of arm waving and usually end with a look of pity and a 'riiiiiiiiiight' from the other conversational participant.

We live in the digital TV age. But it's not as shiny and wonderous as it sounds. Think less Jetson's futuristic wonder, more Lily Allen being given a chance to make a show about her Myspace mates despite the fact she has all the TV presenting charisma of Gordon the Gopher.

Valentine's Day is rubbish. Fact. While I love the idea of romantic gestures - even with my cynical exterior I'm a big sap underneath it all - the idea that there is one day of the year when you have to pay over the odds to go out and eat overpriced food sat elbow to elbow with dozens of other grumpy looking people doing the same leaves me cold. Cold.

Could this be the end of the road of BB's couple?
Well thank goodness - or the BB housemates at least. Bex is up for eviction. Huzzah. Now let's all vote for her. Please? Because if I have to hear Luke go 'Noooooooooooooo! Rebecca! Noooooooooooo!' once more I will put Blutack in my ears.
I've tried to like her, I really have but Rebecca's continual whining is driving me to distraction. It's enough and time for her to go.
Thanks to the Housing Association
I would like to express my appreciation of the work of the local police and residents, with Soverign Housing Association, in getting an injuction against the teenage ringleader of the anti social behaviour on Heroes Walk (The Chronicle, January 24).
Respected members of Muslim community
I read with interest David Akroyd’s defence of Cllr Richard Willis’s praise of Ian Smith’s Rhodesia on December 13 and his attempt to deflect attention by portraying the Islamic Political Party Hizb-ut-Tahrir as 'supporters of Terror’.
Don't give Europe more power over us!
Before MPs approve the Treaty of Lisbon they may care to look at its Declaration 17, which claims that EU treaties and laws have “primacy” over the laws passed by their own Parliament.
