Strange Amazon recommendations: one of the items it listed that I might be interested in is the Totally Bill Hicks (obviously based on my previous purchases of Love, Laughter and Truth and Flying Saucer Tour). However, I already own it, so I clicked on the rating (5/5 of course) and 'I own it' to see what comes up next (I do this sometimes, because occasionally it brings up some interesting offers) and on the 'here are some recommendations we think you'll like based on your rating' page I get recommendations for a a Friends video (OK, it's comedy, so not too bad), a David Attenborough video (pushing it a bit, but maybe the Amazon system has heard of the Bill Hicks Foundation?) ...and Midsomer Murders. The system still needs a few tweaks, I reckon. Unless there's some secret links between Bill Hicks and John Nettles that I'm not aware of.
