      All ours have been taken out of the secure purpose built buildings they are supposed to be in and shoved in the back of WHSmiths where in addition to the little old ladies cluttering up the front of the shop blocking and refusing to use the self service tills, they now block the back as well in the same manner.

  14. Quality of photo printing in some recent books seems to be pretty poor.

    1. John M Upton

      A lot of it is to do with the printing (and in many cases proof reading) of books being farmed out to places like India which means mistakes and quite frankly urine poor print quality seem the norm in many circumstances now.

  16. I know the site needs advertising (there's nowt for nowt in this world) but I have just opened VNC and a load of noise issued fourth about PS4 and “it's about the driver”.

A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind… the year the Great War came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
