Yes, Mrs Suffolk got one for xmas, and she loves it. She has read a full novel so far and it is still has a full battery charge, so it will easily last a few weeks before a charge is needed, and the screen is easy to read in any light as unlike a monitor or laptop, it is not backlit (so you would need a lamp or somethink to illuminate it at night!)
She got the Sony Ereader which is by far the best.
Did you buy the 505? I was very very tempted to buy this at Xmas but the review I read of it said that while it was the pick of the bunch it did take rather long to turn pages. I am holding off until they bring out the 700 in the UK.
OK I have to give our area large, just love it. It is the smallest postcode in London and the last official village in London. In addition to the following I think my uncle Henry Wilcoxon (famous 30's actor) went to the same school as Chaplain. The bass player from Right Said Fred also lived in Hanwell as did Kit Woolven (good mate of mine) the engineer/producer for Thin Lizzy. If I think of any others I will add them.

There is a porn doing the rounds (have a search on bit torrent sites) called Who's Naylin Paylin. The actress who plays Paylin actually does look quite like her. It takes the piss quite mercilessly so is actually really quite funny. Ends with a 3 girl scene, her, Hillay Clinton and Condi Rice.
As to the poll question, answer has to be yes, one way to get on top of those kinds of ideas and put them to bed once and for all!

If anyone finds the herd of hugs can you please send them over to me? It was my best friend's funeral today and I could sure use a few hugs :cry:
Just found a decent size herd at Chiswick Roundabout. I have shoo-ed them onto the M4 in the general direction of Cardiff. They were going a fair lick so should not need much further encouragement before at least Windsor or maybe even Reading. If anyone catches up with them on the M4 give them a poke to keep them going all the way.
I have been following the "caveman" diet for a couple of months now. I initially saw it in the Sunday Times. I have lost about 1.5 stone and feel much better for it, and that is without being fanatic about it. Not only the weight has come off but friends have commented on how much better my skin and eyes have become. It has to be noted that it is NOT the high protein high fat low carb Atkins type diet which so many people have pointed out is dangerous. It is just a sensible way of eating.
Definitely ignore it. It's far more dignified. Regard it as a plus that you have discovered another tosser you can strike off your list and not waste any more of your valuable time on. To react by leaving would mean they had "won" twice and eventually we would be only left with the tossers. :cry:

I was in the States for the last election and it was clear that George "dubbya" only got re-elected for his second term because the American people will always support their sitting President.
Actually although this always used to be true in the last 30 or so years there have been 3 sitting presidents who failed to be re-elected: Ford (although he might not count not having been elected in the first place), Carter and George Bush 1. Whatever one might think of McCain it is actually remarkable that he is as close as he is given how incredibly unpopular George Bush 2 is.
Quote by niceandgentle
McCain has mostly supported Bush and is 72 and in poor health meaning Sarah Palin could become President, a prospect to truly fear!
I think that choice may come back to haunt him. It meant he could not play the experience card any more and raised real questions about his judgement for me.
Not withstanding the comments posted on the subjects thread, I thought it would be interesting to see if the swinging community had a preference between Obama and McCain. Most of us don't have a vote of course, personal self interest won't come into it, which makes it just a bit of fun. It would be interesting to see if the community's "liberated" attitude to sexual matters extends to our view of US politics.
I hope this is not viewed as too controversial by the mods. The poll will only run for 1 day to reflect the actual election.

How do you form an opinion?
Are you open to change you opinion?
I believe that John Maynard Keynes put it wonderfully.
"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"
Individual facts in themselves do not have to change but if our factual universe changes (i.e. new facts emerge or others that we took to be facts turn out to be false) then we have an obligation to revisit our opinions that have been formed from that factual universe. I can never fathom why some people find changing your mind to be automatically wrong.

Does go round the plug hole the other way to ours!
It does, first thing I did at Sydney airport was to go to the loo and run water into the basin just so I could see. Also did the same experiment on the plane at 35k and it goes straight down. Plane is not being affected by the rotation of the planet.
Case of bad propeller head day! :silly: :silly:
Bright and Sunny earlier here. However have just been out and not more than half a mile from me cars are covered in white fluffy stuff. So have concluded that either
1. Epidemic outbreak of terminal dandruff.
2. Local Colombian community have had a VERY bad day.
3. Sequel to Dr Zhivago going to be filmed locally.
4. It has indeed snowed in West London.
Any other possibilites? Thinking of applying for an EU grant to research what is clearly a question that is on the lips of the nation.
