depressed but not fat

The last time I bought a computer game it was to block out the s**t that is my life. I was looking for something that would take ages to complete thus filling the hours of boredom that would normally be filled with a social life. I recommend the RPG as an ample source of oblivion.

I'm not fat though or 35.

idiots

I think it is disgraceful that children may be exposed to pictures of breasts.

When I was breastfed as a baby my mother blindfolded me to protect my delicate infant mind from corruption.

What about the other ideapads?

When are they going to release the other bigger Ideapads in the UK? They came out in the US ages ago.

enough of the OU bashing

I have completed a number of OU courses and I have never had any problems with the language used in their course material. The material was regularly updated and clearly written.

natural cycles not really that nice

The writer seems to take the line that somehow non human induced climate change is somehow preferable to human induced climate change. Surely it would be preferable if we are causing the climate change because then we have the option of changing our actions to mitigate it. If it is some natural cycle that we don't understand and may not be able to do anything about wouldn't that be really, really bad?

feed me books

Thanks for mentioning feedbooks. I hadn't heard of them before.

I just wish I had something nicer to read my downloaded book on than my big clunky thinkpad.

surprise

I am surprised to hear that Sony did so well. I owned a Sony Vaio FZ18L for a month, before sending it back, and it was awful.

No mention of Lenovo in the survey?

chunky

I am writing this comment on the Lenovo Thinkpad I received this morning so I can attest to their chunkiness but it's a nice change from the poorly built, flacid Sony Vaio I owned for a month before returning it.
