MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 1 Sep 09

Are British MP's more likely to contract Swine Flu than the rest of us?

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 11 May 09

UK drivers - will Alistair Darling's £2k persuade YOU to buy a new car?

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 23 Apr 09

This seems a flawed argument and I don't think many people will be able to take advantage of it. If you drive a car that's 10 years old you do that because you can't afford an newer one. So if you can get a £16k car for £14k big...

Why do some people say I am 'making' eggs?

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 25 Mar 09

Surely it is the chicken who 'makes' the eggs and people 'cook' them! If you say I am 'making' a cake that is perfectly understandable as you have to mix the ingredients, but I'd dearly love to see the cook who could 'make'...

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 23 Mar 09

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 23 Mar 09

I think Vinefire make some pretty outrageous claims about how much you can earn and what they will pay and although theye atate upfront on their site that the first pay out will be January 2010 I have found this site useful as I...

MichaelJay @MichaelJay (1100) 24 Feb 09

Will you be indulging in the delights of a pancake feast? If you are, what will you eat them with? Smothered in fruit and cream, maybe maple syrup, or what about plain with lemon juice and sugar sprinkled on them? Why not let...
