Result
Apple emailed back. In hindsight I was excessively grumpy and probably did not need to cite the Sale of Goods Act. And I don't suppose Apple care that I know this statute when I've been so crap with contract law revision otherwise...Anyway I have a free song and a very long winded emailed which I think semi takes the piss out of the song I chose to download. Obviously I can't write what that was here because you would all take the piss too.
In other news, on watching University Challenge last night, I was Grumpy because:
1. There was a question about the LAWS of COPYRIGHT of Wilde's plays. You might say this is my niche area. I however made chimp faces at the screen, and, on misunderstanding the number of clauses in the question, said "An Ideal Husband" when the answer was "Lord Chamberlain."
2. A girl who has clearly never had her hair held back for her over a toilet on a night out managed to say "Julius Caesar" from "Which Shakespeare play contains the quote 'the storm-'". I mean for FUCK'S SAKE. Shakespeare LOVED weather. She must have cheated.
3. I realised that when one team is above the other, it is computer graphics. They do not sit above the other. And they do not use a ladder to get up there.
This is all.

In a not very scientific test I decided to see if google could come up with the correct Shakespeare play from the words "the storm -". It couldn't, being most definite that it was from The Tempest or, if we really, really had to have it elsewhere, Lear. Julius Caesar doesn't appear until page freaking three. I didn't see the girl in question but I know I don't like her. Grrr.
on 3, I thought this until about 2 years ago. Yes, really.
Am intrigued by point 1. Can't think why.... ;-)
I always thought the teams actually were on top of one another. I used to wonder how the team on top got up there!
I also always thought one team was above the other. In the old University Challenge programmes the teams used to play up to the fact that people thought that and the one that was on top used to "drop things" on the other etc, spill water etc. Oh those wild 1970s students.
noooo!
I don't think I can watch any more knowing that the people actually all sit on the ground.. how dull...
