    Savvy. I wonder, have you ever wondered what time Google change their daily images?? I was just admiring the world cup ones they are having lately, and wondered what time they changed them?

    Ditch and switch!

    Current easy access ISA paying 1.5%...better than 0.75%.

    :)
    No I dont have an ISA with them. But wondering, if natwest are reducing their rates in August, will others follow.:eek: Was hoping there would be lots of nice deals with the £15000 allowance being introduced soon.

    :eek::eek::eek: The BBC marking on-screen South Korea as "KOR" (rather than say, "SKR"). :eek:So the BBC is accepting that there is a state of the whole of Korea then. In accordance with what what the 'international community' accepts as North Korea maintains. Or what what the 'international community' accept as South Korea maintains.

    Right into the controversy. Google accepting Kosovo - or not. Wikipedia:eek: subdividing one of its topics to go down to being a border with Algeria, and thus accepting the international community view as opposed to the claims of other parties:eek:. Either way! I thought Wikipedia was supposed to be impartial...?:rotfl::rotfl:

    And the BBC. Obviously siding with both North (in international community's view) and South (in international community's view) Korea, by accepting "South Korea" (in the view of the international community) as being plain mere "Korea":eek:_pale_. (I say 'Either way!' as, if the BBC had marked it to suggest South Korea, I'd then be arguing it wasn't accepting the views of either of the "Koreas" as claiming the whole and thus, either way, is not "impartial". Either way, they have to fall down on one side or the other whatever they mark it as, hence my roll-arounds.)

    Interestingly - or not, the BBC maintains "Kiev" (as it says that is known to its audience) which is the Russian name for the place in Ukraine (that is not the Ukraine name for the city). So it has been alleged that the BBC supports the Russian view instead of what is sovereign Ukraine territory.

    I have a beautiful Peavey Predator electric guitar! :D

    Totally stunned, my sister and her boyfriend (who was teaching me at the weekend) just walked in and said 'We've got you this stand for when you get a guitar.......you may as well have this to go with it' and gave me a guitar bag with my shiny new toy in as an early birthday present. Stunned. I keep looking over at it. It's jet black and super sexy :cool::j

    Now I just need to keep practicing!

    Here's a guitar choon for you.
