I thought this was really funny when sent to me so I send it to the land of origin for a smile by thee.The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational Contest that asked readers to submit "instructions" for something (anything) written in...
Yet again, England get a bye to the finals, whilst the Scots haven't a hope in hell. Is there some backhanders going on?
We've not had a mountain bike thread for a while so I thought I'd start a new one. Who's still riding through this dark and dismal winter?I was out tonight and got a self-portrait that I liked as I don't look all that fat in it: Show us your bikes then.

Couldn't resist a new toy in the supermarket for a fiver. The light source is about 6" (150mm) long and a thin tube only 2mm diameter that lights up with a surprisingly bright, white light.What is the technology behind this thing?
I bought my wife a rather splendid little MP3 player from Sony for her birthday.Trouble is, I'm trying to load Sony's 'Connect' software onto PC but can't because the text disappears below bottom of the window and thereby I can't 'Accept' the...
