As Big Brother infected us from the Netherlands, I expect future reality TV shows in the UK to be brightened up by the prospect of the contestants eating one another. This would actually be a significant improvement ...

Why don't you approve of the smoking ban in hospital grounds!? I welcome it. NHS Scotland bend over backwards to provide quit smoking help to any patients. Having watched a mother die from lung cancer and having to fight through a smoke blanket at the entrance to the Western General to go hold her hand whilst she struggled to breathe, I wholeheartedly support all hospitals banning smoking within their grounds. I appreciate it's an addiction, no different to alcohol or drugs, but think any steps taken to make it more difficult should be gladly received!

I got a simple black silicone iWatchz band with my new Nano last month for my birthday. :) I do like some of the classier bands, but I can't quite see paying as much as they want for 'em!
