"Toby Young proudly brags that he failed his O-Levels and did a stint of workfare and still got into Oxford and became the man he is today, and therefore anyone else could do the same if they worked as hard as he did: he always forgets to mention that his father was Baron Young of Dartington. "
- Spare a thought for HMV, but don’t spare a thought for the customer. « Oh It's Scott Bryan!
"A lot will be written about HMV today and in the next few days about what a loss the chain will be for the customers and for the music industry, but there won’t be anywhere near as much written about the employees who work for them.

Don’t go in there aiming to blag a bargain by harassing the people who work there."
