    I'm with you on that one Renee! Just think, here you can read reviews to books in a fraction of the time a complete book would take, therefore meaning you don't actually have to read any books in order to enjoy them ;) (not that I'm condoning such actions, nope, not me) Anyway, welcome to the...

    Ladies and Opening Doors for Them

    Here's a point I'd like to raise: Whilst it is lovely that in this day & age there are still some men who hold doors open for women, I am astounded by the number of women who on the one hand complain about not being treated equally & then on the other hand complain because they are. (I know no...

    Ladies and Opening Doors for Them

    Must confess I tend to hold doors for people too - regardless of gender. Though in the situation you originally mentioned I would have simply seen who reached the door first.

    The Art of Art Snobbery

    I did enjoy reading that piece & thought there was some clever observation in there. Saying that, I can see where Novella is coming from regarding the difficulties you may face getting published.

    Experimental tourism

    It just makes me want to go off adventuring, I particularly liked one story about someone arranging a trip where all their friends went to the same city (I think it was Paris), but rather then meeting up the idea was to all have seperate holidays & compare notes & photos when they returned. Weird!

    hello i'm published

    "You don't mind if I keep my gloves on? I don't want to be leaving any DNA this time" "I'm so glad you agreed to come out with me, it's ages since I was last laid" "Did I tell you about the time I was abducted by aliens?" "Don't tell anyone, but I'm a secret agent for the government" "You...

    Do you believe in global warming?

    Anybody watching the Apprentice

    I watched the english version, which I really enjoyed at the time, but have been really disappointed by an article in last week's Sunday Times. The article in question was an interview with the person who won & it revealed just how much of a total charade certain parts of the show were...

    Common sense or human rights violation?

    I was reading New Scientist today & came across an article I thought might be of interest: How do people feel about this? Is this a mass violation of human rights or something which is merely protecting the public at large?
