    It's the type who deliver their children to the school gates in a 4x4, even though they live in Fulham. Their husbands are always called Piers and they wear sun glasses in November.
    Jeez, your a car salesman, you must meet loads.

    Oh ... really?
    I should do that more often then.

    I'm writing a book: "Dirty PMs I received online"

    Everybody'll buy it just to see if they're in it and if their wife will recognise their writing style :)

    I'll be minted.

    I have always thought there was a decent book waiting to be written based solely on posts from a forum.

    I have wondered that too, sometimes it just seems so funny, or clever, whatever. But I think it's just like pub chat, you have to be there. Relaying the 'funny' story the next day never seems to quite hit the spot.

    I bet julieq could write a damn long book though.

    If it was well pieced together, you would be there. I am sure it could be done.

    Her editor would need a very large supply of red pens.

    I always thought the loss of the higher frequencies when moving to digital recording and WAC CD encoding was a step too far...

    Mmmm, file sharing, a bit of an issue with that I have, with music anyway.

    I like to think of myself as a bit of an audiophile (read... nerd:D). The downloads on Itunes etc are encoded at 128kbps, this is approx 1/10th of the quality of a CD or lossless version, they then charge, what, 79p for it. Absolute rip off. CD's at £15 a pop were a rip off, this kind of music format is 10x worse for the same money.

    Encode music in CD quality and then I might buy it and so would 1000's of others.
    I think....
