There is an excellent article in ‘The Word’ magazine this month, echoing your thoughts here.

Just to say I viewed the first episode of Kingdom tonight, here in Australia, and was highly impressed. I also enjoyed your tour of the USA and especially the Auburn / Alabama football game which as a (Brit) resident of Alabama for 24 years before moving to Australia last year can appreciate the intensity of feelings there in the rivalry between the 2 team supporters there having viewed many annual games mostly in the midst of Alabama supporters.

Since the days of Jeeves and Wooster I have been a loyal fan Stephen, you’re a class act…

There is no point in regretting what you have done. You can’t change it. only have regrets for things you haven’t or could have done but never did.

I have no need for a mobile phone. I have never had one, what you never had you can’t miss.

Dear Sir,

While this may be an entirely silly question, I have been put forward by my group of friends to be the one to ask you this. I hope you’ll forgive our possible rudeness, but we feel that anything is worth a shot.

We’re a small group of friends who love history. We love all the silly bits of it, we love the sad bits, we love all of it.

And today someone suggested asking you to be an honorary member of our little group. We understand, of course, that you will probably say no. We also understand that you would never come around with us dressed up pretending to be countries acting out dramatic battles, because that would be entirely too silly.

… But if we could list you in our little list of members, we would be so, so happy. You would make a group of schoolgirls very giddy indeed.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

- Mercedes

In the age of Blackberryitis (yes its a term gaining a groundswell in NHSlandia for RSI of the thumb) I console myself with my private HTC Touch Pro2…remembering the stark look of horror on a previous managers face. He had asked me if I’d like a mobile phone. I quickly translated this as can I contact 24/7 and replied, “I think I’d rather be peeled alive and rolled in vat of salt…” I just didn’t understand the fascination…but now I’d chop the fingers of anyone trying to scroll MY HTC… my precious…

Golly, I thought I’d joined the 21st Century when I purchased an I-Touch last week, looks like I could still be in the dark ages.

Sweet as bruv sweet as,

I find the Blackberries from the supermarket have much more flavour than the ones that grow in the wood. They tend to be smaller and taste a bit woody. As for the storm I threw mine out the window and brought an ear trumpet instead. But seriously There are many push e-mail systems that provide an always-on capability on the market today.In contrast to traditional e-mail, most of the protocols used in popular current systems are proprietary; , BlackBerry uses its own private protocols developed by RIM. Both the Push-IMAP standard and parts of the SyncML standards are attempting to develop more open solutions.IETF Lemonade is a set of extensions to IMAP and SMTP to make them more suited to the demands of mobile e-mail. Among the extensions are rapid IMAP resynchronization and a new NOTIFY command in IMAP This will do away with problems incountered with blackberries such as Network locking, and vendor locking. Keep things open source and things should get even better in the future, one love Paul.
