Default Oxymorons

I've always been intrigued by oxymorons and contradictions in terms. Yesterday threw up a good one:-

Liverpool - European city of culture!

Here's some other favourites:

Newcastle United
Microsoft Works
Self-help group
Plastic glasses
Student teacher
Baggy tights
Bagpipe music
Liquid Crystal
Industrial Park
Found missing
Down escalator
Metal woods
Constant change
Alone together
Act naturally
Free with purchase

Any more anyone?

Don't start with the 4WDs. I nearly got run off the road by a woman in a Porsche Cayenne yesterday, she could just about see over the dashboard and didn't have a scooby about road positioning.

I think they should have height restrictions like the rides at Alton Towers.
