Due to pure laziness I'm considering purchasing an electric razor. I currently shave using a gillete mach 2. I used to use an electric razor ten years ago (a Philips, no idea what model) and it was ok, but no where near as the gillete. I'm thinking of...

A friend of mine came across a really old table here recently, I've never seen one in €urope and wondered if anybody could remind me of the rules etc ? Fritz Von You're probably all too young though !

Having just enjoyed my freshly ground daily milk coffee, or 'au'lait' as they say in Italy, these thoughts came to mind, of which I'll share with you all and can be either totally ignored, read or/and commented upon, as per usual, as easy as that as...

My Fugi Finepix has just lost the ability to take photo's. Its two years old and I was hoping to get more than two years out of it.The question is, is it worth repairing or for the cost is it best to go out and buy a new camera.How long should I...

All I can say is "holy crap". Shooting four people as retribution/recompense/whatever-the-hell is just plain screwed up. The IRA must be rife with thugs and the biggest thugs must be at the top.Good on the McCartney family.Deane

I enjoyed the race but the new rules have certainly taken away a lot of the excitement of pit stops. I noted that the lap times are not down too far from the norm despite a suggested 25 percent reduction in downforce to make the tyres last the...

I was sure I'll find thousands of threads about the game against Barcelona. It was a hell of a game. I don't remember when I enjoyed so much watching a football game. Chelsea was even better than Macabi Haifa. On the Israeli TV they suggested that at...
