		<description><![CDATA[According to MacUser, two separate Apple centres in the USA have refused to carry out repairs on a Mac because the owner is a smoker. Not because they feel that smoking has contributed to whatever has gone wrong but because their technicians consider the machines &#8216;contaminated&#8217; and a &#8216;bio-hazard&#8217;.
Due to the computer having been used [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The young man in the local 3 shop said &#8220;it will just work&#8221;.
&#8220;Are you sure about that?&#8221; I asked. &#8220;That&#8217;s what T-Mobile said and that never worked&#8221;.
And neither did 3. Well &#8211; that&#8217;s not strictly true. It didn&#8217;t work in Washington DC and it didn&#8217;t work in Denver or anywhere else in Colorado. Didn&#8217;t work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that this tickled my sense of humour. What you can&#8217;t see is the fact that this was the only bus in the coach park. There it stood &#8211; all alone, unloved, cloudy grey sky above, damp tarmac below.
