I want to make a gift to my boyfriend. Something special :). I just want to say a few words about my boyfriend. He is my soulmate and i love him. He’s Welsh but without a Welsh accent. Just a northern twang. This is something which troubles him from time to time. He likes talking to himself. He also likes dogs and knowing every lyric to every Beatles’ song ever. I decided, stupidly, to challenge him on that last point. We were sat at a studenty cafe with rainbow coloured chairs drinking mint tea one afternoon. I picked what I thought was a less-well-known Beatles song and got him to tell me the lyrics. Honey Pie (my favourite), Blackbird, Maxwell’s Silver Hammer - he knew them all, and not just the chorus. He is excellent at getting himself into situations that other, more practical, people probably would be able to avoid. Map reading is definitely one of his least developed skills. Ask him where north is and he’ll probably say something like “ummm, which way is the wind coming from?” Other things he has been known to do include dropping his ipod into the bath (he was reaching forward for his watch, forgetting that his headphones were attached to something - and then hearing the ipod slip with a gentle splosh into the water) and window shopping - meaning taking a close look at ladies’ underwear and not realising the shop assistant was standing in the shop window until he looked up and saw her scornful face. So, there are two gift options for me to choose from: Dual Docking Alarm Clock for iPod and Neuros OSD Media Recorder. What do you recommend? Any advices will be more then welcome.

I noticed that, too. It brought back some memories. Long ago, something like 30 years back, I was working the night desk when the Pope died, right after the presses had started with the morning paper. It was my first chance to run into the pressroom, yelling, "Stop the presses." Thanks, Paula. I noticed that, too. It brought back some memories.

We did have almost instant discussion Sunday evening that "something" was going on because of the sheriff's helicopter in the area of Charlotte Arms... and there was mention of the Amber Alert early Monday morning for the "night owls"... By late Monday morning we had a pretty good grasp of "the big picture"... The hard part has been weeding out all the mis-information that has been posted... and of course there have been a few personal attacks and plenty of dis-agreements... but I guess that is just the state of the internet !!!
