Speeding Oz teen may face 'gorillas in the mist'
"Specifically, Maloney explained that the perp would "shower with the gorillas in the mist down at Long Bay jail". He elaborated: "You'll find big, ugly, hairy strong men who've got faces only a mother could love that will pay a lot of attention to you - and your anatomy."" - by Me!

The DROA are at it again and I'm the lucky recipient :)
For more information take a look at http://www.synuk.com/droa/ but definitely don't sign up with them!
I'm half tempted to stake out MBE on Gloucester Road to see if anyone picks up the mail, but I assume it's just a forwarding operation. Scum.
Leaving aside the awful Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee PC I really like the Aiguru S2. It will certainly go well with the as-yet-unreleased Essentio CS5110 which I'm rather drawn to as a new HTPC and Blu-Ray player.
I went to the London Marathon expo last night to check out the Garmin 405 primarily. I have to say that I wasn't impressed. Even though the actual diameter of the bezel is quite small, the initial part of the strap (closest to where it joins the bezel) is rigid - I'm guessing to hold some electronics or the GPS antenna. So, on someone with small wrists like me, it looks pretty stupid as it sticks out the side of your arm!
Also, the touch sensitive bezel seems overly sensitive and a bit clunky to use and reacts to you brushing it (I'd probably knock it against my leg a few times a run!).
All in all, I wasn't impressed so I didn't splurge.
All was not lost though, as Nike were there in force and I had a nice demo from a lady on the stand for the new SportBand which interfaces directly to the Nike+ foot sensor, so no iPod needed. And at £40, I couldn't resist so I've bought one. They do look very sexy indeed and definitely suit the more petite of us.
