So basically I'm getting the impression you're not that impressed with Chris Grayling? <runs for cover...>

Wahey Sorry Sami, been up to my eyes in stuff so missed the beginning of your new life!

Keep it up, already done the hard bit, gets easier and easier moving forward. Nicorette gum got me over the initial craving, dunno if you have a similar product in SA, downside is left me as a Wrigleys addict

Proud of you girl, keep the faith

lol did make me smile, but being family friendly and all that

I think it's amazing

Certainly all sorts of potential apps. No doubt in years to come my kids will scoff at pictures of the antiquated flatscreen in the same we used to moan at the footprint of the good old CRT monitors

Is this all related to the prison closures as well?

Only caught the end of the news, but is it part of one big overall cost saving exercise? From what I can gather, the prisons will close before the new super prison is ready. So what happens to the surplus of prisoners? Suppose that means they will be coming your way on early probation??

lol a puppy and a cat! Who needs furniture


Oh lordy, 7 cats!!! That's 5 far too many

Until recently we had 3 cats, but we just lost one from cancer (didn't know animals got cancer!) who is still at the cat hospital according to our 3 year old, awkward conversation ahead

Mr Stiltz is of unknown age and a rescue job, but is on thyroid tablets, looks about 120, but is quite happy and very low maintenance, a true geezer cat.

Where as Daisy is a hyper active neurotic and another rescue cat (the sorriest looking one there and not expected to survive) and is now about 14 so growing old disgracefully.

My folks have just got 2 Labrador puppies, which has reminded me never to get a puppy, as I survey the amount of damage they've caused, and realise cats really are easy

Not convinced about reptiles, though the eldest loves the lizards in the petshop. A mate of mine has just opened a reptile shop in Coventry, shall give her a plug

<waits for the onslaught by web designers>

Traditionally, windows and PC's/laptops were for normal people, and Mac's were for creative types who worship the Apple and have long said the Mac is far superior to Windoze when it comes to graphic design type stuff.

But then Windows brought out Vista and iPhones and iPads took over the world

If you've got an iPhone and iPad, then maybe for continuity you'd consider a Mac. Other than that guess it's down to personal choice. If you're familiar with Windows and have never used a Mac, then maybe see if you can play with one and see what you think? If you have loads of PC apps and need to be up and running asap, then stick with a PC.

PC's/laptops tend to give you more choice as there are multitudes of venders, and different operating systems, from Unix to Windoze which is why they have been traditionally cheaper.

Mac's are more specialised but (and at least used to be) a lot more efficient with they way they managed resources, processor, memory etc

There is no Google Pony Update! It was just a made up name from an analytics company


Search Engine Land can give you a good blow by blow Panda updates.

I think it makes sense personally, closing old Victorian prisons, and amalgamating into one modern purpose built facility. Lower overheads by having one site etc.

But no doubt in reality what will happen is the prisons will close and the new one won't be ready due to delays or budget problems
