This is simply a poll to anyone who appreciates the BBC's efforts to open the door of poetry to the wider audience. I haven't quite been seduced by any celebrity reader. Is anyone appreciating it?

However, I'm sure there are some poems that rock, e.g. song lyrics. What do you like?

I can't stop watching this show now. But the BBC haven't put on the final episode of this series (april 2009) on next week's listings. Where is it. I saw the penultimate episode last night on BBC3. When's the next?

Any help, much appreciated.

I have an acer laptop with secondary function keys that have forward / back. pause and stop commands. Unfortunately, I use Nero to play all of my media now rather than windows media player. How can I change the access command default player from WMP to another?

Any help appreciated.

Which do you prefer and why?

I know, it's the most infuriating thing to spend a lot of money on a track (e.g. an audiobook) to discover, as it's too long to put on a CD, you can't change it to mp3 to cut it down.

Is itunes going to be able to convert this awful format back to mp3 now the drm function is gone?

I am seriously annoyed with my music player. The fact that I am is not without grounds I shall post later on. But first, please add why you think that iPod needs replacing as the music player of of the masses.

(N.B. if anyone likes their ipod and thinks you got a good deal, please elaborate as well. This is an open forum....)

How annoying is it when you're listening to a new album, book etc. and then one of your in ear head phones gives up the ghost, leaving you with bad sound.

Do head exist that are manufactured to be break resistant? If so, tell us your experience here and we'll make a thoughtful manufacturer a nice profit this Christmas.

So, that's sturdy In ear Headphones that will not break in under a year.

Thanks for your time!

The banks surely seem ready to start lending again. I keep on getting letters saying I've been pre-approved a massive loan.

At last, I can rest easy knowing that billions of taxpayers money is in very scrupulous and discerning hands.

I've got Panasonic DMR - EH-50. It's quite good, only a bit old and so doesn't have freeview tuner in it. I'm looking for a decent set-top box (minus the recorder part of many) that has a 7 day electronic program guide which speaks to a hard drive recorder through it. My TV used to do this however then I got a new HDdvd recorder that has a DTV tuner in it as well as a hard drive. I don't want to get rid of my old one as its still quite good. I just need the name of a set top box that can be programmed to switch to and record (through another machine) programmes.

I own a Panasonic Hard Drive recorder DMR-EH-50. Unfortunately, it has no digital tuner. How can I modify it so it records a digital signal. What would I need to let the hard drive still work now the analogue signal is so weak/turned off?

I saw these on bbc news a few months ago. They consist of 2 leg attahments (one for each leg) that are like big springs shaped like a dinosaur leg (joints out the back).

I know they exist as I've seen them on the TV. Does anyone know what they're called or where I can get hold of a pair?

People use them to bounce around, exercise, etc.

Simple choice. Make a splash or not? Situation = Someone's in the room next door (so not secluded in a forest glade miles from anywhere - where it's pretty much obligatory to hit the water)

Last Christmas the radio adverts were full of news about the digital radio "robi" for ipod. Great news - the digital radio is top-notch.

That's what I thought - so - I bought my robi. At exactly the same time that it arrived, apple released firmware update for my nano 5th gen. After this was installed, robi now turned off, along with ipod after 2 minutes.

I complained to apple. I complained to Roberts. However, only with Roberts did I get through to someone vaguely in charge. Apple was impossible to get through to (you know - automated telephone system followed by foreigner who subsequently took details and then never got in touch again).

Now they still haven't released any further update nor got in touch. Does anyone know a decent contact number for apple? Stories of complaint please + any decent contact details for apple (you can private e-mail me these).

I'm trying to save space on my hard drive. Is there a program that can represent the hard drive as a distributional pie chart / graph?

I've created a petition here that will help out generations to come. For our own good I think.

I accidently went searching for all the album names etc. in my itunes library. The stupid program deleted every name of artist and album in the database. How can I use itunes to access gracenote CDDB so I can get back the album and file information for the tracks (including the ones bought from itunes store)?

I have a ps42q96hdx/xeu - 42" plasma Samsung panel. Although I can watch dvds and play games through it - it doesn't recognise the ps3 OS.

When I try to access it the Samsung Display panel says :

(i) Mode not supported.

Do we live in an English speaking society that has forgotten its roots (and endings)? Namely the use of -i to denote a plural second declension noun. Anyone remember "dominus" - who's plural is domini.

Therefore not dominuses.

Then why are health care professionals being incorrectly taught (in my opinion) that the plueal of virus is viruses? Surely it should be virii?

Can we halt the erosion of language?

I like google desktop - I think it's cool but I am perplexed that it continuously performs illegal operations before it's finished searching my computer. Is there an update or bug-fix strategy. 10 Points the first working answer!
