John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. It's a defining moment in US history that helped fuel a radical, tumultuous decade. I wonder how many here remember what they were doing when they heard the news?
Congratulations on your early morning "Infommercial" on the BBC Regards, Willy. PS For the sleepyheads amongst you try iplayer about 06:25 on radio 4.

Moving along at a cracking pace this series......although I thought the Statesminister luring the driver over to 'fix her plumbing' a bit ridiculous....G PS. No spoilers from our Danish friends please.
I love the guitar work of Brent Mason (of "hotwired" fame), Danny Gatton and I always loved the country-inspired licks in the solos of guitarists such as Steve Howe, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter et al. I would be grateful for any suggestions of cool,...
My wife received a letter today supposedlly from Adboe Ireland dated 23 Oct 2013 warning her to check her account & change her password, the only Adobe product she uses is a FREE version of Adobe Reader for which you don't need a password, does she have anything to worry about?
I am flying to Europe (Italy) next month, and on my return several options were offered on my airline web site to go through London Heathrow. The tax for simply going through the airport & changing planes was $409!!!!!!!!!! Instead I will endure an 12 hour overnite layover in Dusseldorf for $70. WTF is up with LHR?

No tour of the R&D area however. According to Jason new products are due to be launched in January. No details though.

Monday is Veteran’s Day in the US. My father-in-law is a US Army vet that grew up in New York City and fought during WWII in France and Germany. He turns 89 later this month. 70 years ago he was a high school teen with his future in front of him that did the only thing that seemed right at the time; he enlisted in the army to help keep the world free. Today, he is a thin, frail man suffering from dementia. His army reunions in New York City used to consist of 30-40 proud vets. Now, there are...
