It's an interesting way to gather statistics, isn't it? Assuming everyone's telling the truth... It does occur to me though that quite often when I've er. needed one, waiting 24 hours wasn't really on the agenda.

I remember reading a Ben Elton novel I think it was had that the idea of a spray on condom, kind of like you can now get 'spray on sticking plasters'. That was a good few years ago. I've occasionally wondered if that was actually feasible and if so, why we haven't got them yet.

They're not really aiming for the "need one in a hurry" market, but if the regular off the shelf ones don't fit then it's worth keeping some proper sized ones handy.

It's been around a while, apparently getting an even coat is difficult

A book on Northern Ireland and a ticket for Captain America 2 have both been awesome.

My nephew has developed an obsession with Robin Reliants (don't ask, I don't know), so I bought him what I thought was a Matchbox-like version. Turned out to be closer to a Micro Machine...

The website said 95 sizes, they are all off the shelf, nothing custom about it.

As long as they do the bigger sizes that actually fit I'll let them off the fact it's not 100% custom fit

You can tell you're middle aged when you own a cardigan 'coat'.

Bought in a sale and wore it today and it's very cozy. Very happy with it.

I really like my Nokia Lumia 1020, best smartphone I've had.

Perhaps 64Gb wasn't enough.

I'm pretty sure 128gb won't be enough at some point soon. I'm hovering around 40-50gb free at the moment :) ;)
