Vinyl simply does sound better - especially through a valve amp, but it is the greasy fingermarks and scratches that prevent me from using them much (I do have old vinyl and equipment). So I almost always use Winamp for my music.
Factual books are WAY better on a reader, but seriously - you cannot beat curling up to a fictional paper book (unless it is so dog-eared it's falling apart).
Anyone know 'Pachelbel's Canon'? I bet you don't know any of his other compositions - without that one tune he would be utterly unknown. (He died in 1760, so probably wasn't the internet that 'killed him')
I've been getting stoned since the late 60's. I live in England and I see a lot of drug taking, but I have only once seen Methamphetamine. Most young people are clubbing with MDMA or similar hallucinogenic amphetamines.
They do not search for the drug in sewage (or urine/hair etc), it's the metabolites they look for.
It's a murdoch paper - it will not have 'news' in it - just sensational bullshit. I live in England and I read 'The News of the World' once.... Never again.
He also owns 'The Sun' nobody I know would dare bring out a copy of that in my presence unless the want a tirade of abuse about their lack of brain.
I don't have a television - sick of getting treat like an 11 year old.
I don't click on links about the Olympics.
In fact I'm disgusted with them, it is a commercial venture - no more.
Many years ago I met a man who boasted he had bought his house and a yacht from stolen computer parts.
He was an engineer and was sent out to repair computers, he would declare the main board defunct, order a new one, fix the minor problem and sell the part. He was never caught.
Although did I hear he is in now in darkest Peru hiding from the tax man...

Men are better drivers
Driving very slowly and waiting till the roads are empty at junctions may be safe, but it's not 'better'.
How many women are in car racing? Very few, and don't say it's because it a 'man's world' - the fastest driver will win whatever sex they are.
