I just heard my voice on a video and remembered how much I hated listening to myself on tape/vid. Any techheads explain to me why my voice sounds so different from what I think it is (from hearing myself speak it)?

I'm on page 200 of Bills book, looking forward to some of the later things that went on and see what he says. Will report.

Quote: On tour, pop princess Britney Spears demands one box of mints, one bag of Doritos and seven clean and secured dressing rooms for her entourage at each show. Only the 1 bag. That must be from long ago. She asks for 10 bags, 2 packs of lard, 5 bags of Freedom Fries and 10 bags of pork scratchings now.

As Blackadder once said, "Morris dancing is the most fatuous, tenth-rate entertainment ever devised by man. Forty effeminate blacksmiths waving bits of cloth they've just wiped their noses on. How it's still going on in this day and age I'll never know." No offence intended Retired Morris Dancer.

I'm taking a long flight in about 2 weeks time and want some books for the journey. I've not kept up with book news and whats good and whats not. I want some fairly light reading, something interesting for a flight. Took a look at Amazon and theres just such a huge choice, I dont know where to start. Anyone recommend any easy-reading books or even authors? Thriller, mystery, courtroom drama - that kind of stuff sounds good. Cheers

I never knew there were so many whiskys. Just take a look at this list for starters. http://www.whiskymag.com/whisky/type/scotch_whisky/single_malt.html I can't tell one from the other for the most part.

Hows Brookside recently? I remember that being difficult to follow if you didnt get the strong accents.

The French, of course, deserved to win.

Country seems guaranteed to make you miserable.
