Re: Computer Issues

This is so sharp it's amazing.

In the days when we had the fictitious and legendary "service" bloated over-manned and grossly inefficient companies would argue and agrgue about every problem. Getting replacements was like extracting blood from a stone.

Re: Police Crime Map

Interesting.

It doesn't reflect that the crime around Hazel's house includes murders, shootings, bombs.....all in an average day there.

Violent crime here is a slightly cross old lady hitting a paperboy over the head with a leek. Possibly.

Mr_e has it spot on regarding Salt. It was very enjoyable and worth 4s from me as well.

Re: Design News

I like the fast food restaurant, even the rather sickly green colour. It does look incredibly clean, obviously a good thing for a restaurant.

Re: Cool Houses

Looking at all these modern houses makes me wonder if the extensive use of wood is not going to make them very high-maintenance? Once the paint/stain starts to wear off they might look rather scruffy as well?

Really fantastic suff, and yes, there are similar places in the UK. Some people make a hobby of exploring and recording them.

Re: iPhone

Now in addition to the iPhone we get iTunes of course. This has to be the most horrible bit of programming I've seen for a long time. Basically it just doesn't work properly. How can it tell me it's finished synching and then suddenly pop up a box saying it can't synch the phone? How can it half uni...

Re: Kindle

You can download newspapers and magazines as well as books and I think it can surf the web as well.

iPhone

I like my iPhone very much, but there is a tendency for the silent switch to get switched accidentally. It's quite vulknerable really. What it needs is a small latex plug to block the path of the switch. Or the switch siting in a less exposed position.

Re: The Wedding of Elizabeth and John

Well I've been following the travels of the book as it left the Netherlands, then to Paris, then across Paris, then around Paris...I think it must have been sight-seeing. Finally, in the early hours of this morning it blinked through its shades at Stansted and took the trip up to Chorley. Now it's o...

Liz has now received the message and they are on the hunt for a computer! Do they have Internet Cafes where they are?
