#AskBG British Gas Twitter Q&A Goes As Well As Would Be Expected In a move described as both "brave"and "a terrible PR idea", British Gas decided to host a Twitter Q&A - on the same day it unveiled a 9.2% price hike. Why? Presumably in an effort to generate the heat lost by people switching their boilers off as they tighten their purse strings across the country.

Does anyone watch them? I stopped doing it when I was less than 15 but now that I'm at uni and have little time for myself I find myself more comfortable watching cartoons because there are some quite good ones out there and also because they're not as time consuming as a TV series or a movie, which I watch sometimes on weekends, but mostly during the holidays, really. So, what are your experiences, do you have something to recommend? p.s. No magical ponies and unicorns crapping rainbows please.

He plays being an American dad this time. Let me know your thoughts. :D

It is quite a bizarre response considering an ever-growing body of research highlights that increases in heat waves, fire danger and extreme temperatures are intimately linked to global warming. More importantly, these three areas are considered to …

Cyclone Phailin: Mass evacuations in eastern India More than 400,000 people in India have been evacuated as a massive cyclone sweeps through the Bay of Bengal towards the east coast.
