- The BBC headline seems to say it all: "Smoking ban hits JD Wetherspoon". However, reading the first paragraph gives more details: ".. and slow consumer spending".
Oh! So there's a credit crunch on, and that might just have had an effect on people going to the pub! But obviously nowhere near as much effect as the smoking ban.
After all, people still go to the pub when they've got no money to actually buy a drink, but if they're not allowed to smoke, they won't go anywhere near it! </sarcasm>
- Just business as usual. See you all in hell.
- "The Station nightclub fire" - In brief, a band manager set off fireworks inside a club while his band was playing, causing the deaths of 100 people and injuring 200. This was in 2003, and the case is still going.
However, this is the full list of payments by other "defendents", over and above the man who actually started the fire and the club's insurance company:-
* Clear Channel Communications, which owns a radio station in the area, on the basis that they helped promote the event.
* TV station WPRI paid $30 million on the theory that their cameraman's
equipment blocked an exit.
* JBL Speakers paid $815,000 to settle a charge that its speakers had flammable foam in them;
* Anheuser-Busch ($5 million) and its local distributor ($16 million) because their beer was sold at the nightclub;
* Sealed Air Corp. paid $16 million, since its foam was used for soundproofing, even though the foam was not rated for such a purpose;
* State of Rhode Island, $10 million, and the city where the fire occurred, $10 million;
* Home Depot (amount unknown), where the foam was purchased.

- The title says it all. The question is whether it will take share from IE, or just Firefox. I image the latter, since those still using IE don't like change.
