entitledto.com - BENEFITS can be a minefield. My personal advice would be to go to see the CAB, but this site is supposed to help you calculate your entitlement, if any.

It helps with everything from Children's Tax to the Guaranteed Minimum Income. Naturally enough I get nowt.

THE 2002 Biology Ig-Nobel award went to the authors of a report on "Courtship Behaviour of Ostriches Towards Humans Under Farming Conditions in Britain", as of course, it should.

And who would argue the Chemistry award? Taking periodic elements and making them into a four-legged periodic table table was a work of genius.

AN irregular internet motoring magazine that keeps on threatening to go monthly.

You can find features such as "Pics of Stars in Cars that have names which are a bit similar". In the current edition that is Neneh Cherry in a Nissan Cherry.

Sniff also claims that the new Rolls Royce will be so big that it will be allocated a postcode rather than a registration number.

HAVE you ever wondered where those steps you see at the side of motorways actually go to?

Well you won't find out at this site which is a celebration of motorway steps in the UK and Europe.

The owners of the site were photographing some steps when, instead of being arrested for illegally parking on the hard shoulder, they were approached by two men in suits who sold them the steps.

At a cost of just £365.53 these steps are now installed in their garden. Don't laugh, it beats having to mow the lawn.
