April PC World's Consumer Watch column will focus on parallel importing: why the pricing's so hot, and your rights if something goes wrong. If you've had a good or bad experience with a parallel imported product, let us know in the comments section below and I'll fwd your words to Geoff.

"Oh my God, you're not wearing any pants"
Last night my wife forced me to watch an episode of Trinny and Susannah Undress the Nation, recorded from Friday. The theme of the episode was men's fashion. Already being a sharply-dressed editor, I was starting to nod off when suddenly former NZ PC World writer David Pomeroy appeared onscreen, featuring as one of six men being made-over. Long-time readers will recall a cherubic author of our "Cyberspace Cadet" and "Shareware" columns back in the 90s (including one of PC World's best articles ever, "My secret life as a woman on internet relay chat", in which I managed to convince Dave, of reasonably traditional views, to try a virtual life on the other side of the fence, with revelatory and humorous results. Sadly it's not archived online).

Now, there's actually a whole lot less Pomeroy to behold, with our ex-scribe having recently lost "5 stone" (nearly 32kg, youngsters), and he was actually acquitting himself quite well until Trinny went to tuck a shirt into his jeans only to scream, "Oh my God, you're not wearing any pants".
