There's an appeal to raise funds to built Babbage's Analytical Engine. A recognisably modern computer, when it was designed in the 1830s it was so far ahead of its time it couldn't be built. It still hasn't been built but now there's an attempt to do so - if they can raise funds. There's a...

Personally I would avoid anything Aussie. The vast majority of Aussie reds these days are just heavy, crude and oaked to death and come out of the bottle screaming "G'DAY MATE!" while whacking you over the head with a dried kangaroo pizzle. There ARE some good Aussie reds still around but you're...

That looks as though it is the case, yes. There seems to be considerable confusion about what Gingerbread is or isn't. I've seen both 2.3 and 3.0 described as Gingerbread in recent months, but I've also seen 3.0 described as Honeycomb. Doing a bit more digging this afternoon, there is a...

So, after 3 hours of downloading and installing, it's about as exciting as Gordon Brown's sex life. As far as I can see, nothing at all has changed. Settings show that it's still running 2.2 with Build number and Software number both as 2.33.161.2. :shrug:

I think you will need to wait for the magic message from your network provider.

Think yourself lucky - MY work phone is a Palm Treo ..... I upgraded to the Desire back in July and was quite surprised to find that it came unbranded by Vodafone. I suspect that after they were badly burned by the user backlash against their own overlay (what was it called?) they have...

The download is coming from Vodafone. They sent me a message this afternoon to say it was available. Benefits? Not too sure yet. The blurb said something about enhancements to multimedia and the way it interacts with the Market. What it means in practice I dunno because so far, ie in the...

Downloading on my Desire - only 235mb ...! :cool:

It sounds like you have everything under control :) In terms of feeding, be aware that certain foods (including carrot tops, broccoli, spinach and kale) are high in calcium and this can lead to calcium deposits in the bladder or kidneys so should be fed sparingly. If you find the rabbit...

David, further to my post of earlier today, I would add the following: 1. Make sure your vet is competent with exotics and especially rabbits. Exotics, including rabbits, are usually an option within vet training and not all vets choose that option. As a result some are incredibly ignorant...

Yours might have been lucky, and indeed this conti (giant) may also land on its (very big) feet, but the reality is that there are over 30,000 rabbits in rescue in the UK. Some of those are there for unavoidable reasons, such as the death or homelessness of their former owners, but a very big...

Big. More than big enough to steal food from the dining table. The main element (80%+) of a rabbit's diet, whatever its size, is hay and grass. For a rabbit that size, you will need to buy hay by the bale. It will also need to be vaccinated against Myxi (twice a year) and VHD (once per year)...

So could Olga Korbut.

As you seem to enjoy "literary" fiction I would suggest: 1. Anything by Graham Greene - he is a bloody good storyteller and his novels are fairly short. He packs a lot into a short page-count. 2. Anything by Amitav Ghosh - Indian author. He's not a writer of the extravagantly fantastic in...

I'd recommend Phil Rickman's novels. His earliest ones were a sort of folklore based horror. His later stuff is a series of about a dozen novels featuring Merrily Watkins who is a widowed female priest with a teenager daughter. She becomes the diocesan exorcist for the Hereford diocese, and...
