For my friends who live in the UK, a very nice cover CD on PCW Magazine (Personal Computer World) on sale this month. A Hutchinson-Penguin Combined reference CD with over 9 volumes of incisive and useful reference information on board: completely free. Cannot recommend this too highly.

Here's a quote from James Thurber to whet your appetite, found when browsing around the Book of Quotations included.

You wait here and I'll bring the etchings down.

Been listening to Shoutcast, an internet radio station that works really well with the winamp player. An amazing range of free stations. Can also recommend a subscription site called Moontaxi. Cheap rates, great music!
