Below ... subs are always better at the bottom of the picture, too intrusive at the top (and yes subs = subtitles).

HAve it delivered. If they have one of those *insert time here* or less, or your money back' things, give a really complicated route back to your place.

Yeah, I find reading right to left easier too. Ask Kvetch. When I was reading the Sandman comics, I kept reading the pages wrong the wrong way. I'd just read Code Name wa Sailor V (all of it), so I was used to it that way...

Digi cam or polaroid (sp)?

Digital ... no way I'm gonna say otherwise after I shelled out £630 on my Canon EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT for all you Americans) which rocks :D

Custard Creams!!!! Any day :D ... plus I'm allergic to cocao so I can't eat chocolate anyway :)

(I use flash memory 'cos it's faster and comes in larger sizes ... 2GB memory card ftw :D I can fit about 400-500 8 megapixel pics on it)

Scientific, I've yet to see the point of a graphical one.

DVD or VHS?

DVD ... higher quality films.

If you get a graphical calculator like mine, kvetch's and xyrael's you can play games on it :D and it wouldn't be any use whatsoever at your level. Once you get into A-level + degree level maths though they help loads.

{Credit Cards} Chip and Pin or Swipe and Sign?

Chip and pin. My signature changes on a daily basis.

GG, a graphics calculator is a scientific calculator with pretty pictures. :)

Broadsheet for content, but the new Guardian size is brilliant.

Water, it's better for you ... Aspartame, a common ingedient in modern pop/fizzy drinks has been shown to have a clear link to brain tumours (i.e. you have enough, say hello to chemo). And there's something else in most of them too that leads to gradual de-mineralisation of your bones (i.e. very weak bones, and potential for upsetting the production of blood cells in your body).

{Birthday Present} Book Voucher or Cash?

Cash - I don't *always* want to buy books. (heresy - I know)


raptor_bob: You only have to worry about aspartame if you drink sugar-free or diet drinks. If, like me, you drink the REAL THING, all you have to worry about is cavities (I brush my teeth A LOT).

But I do drink more water than soda per day.


Frolic in snow or frolic in mud?

Money, my happiness can be bought ... books, books, more books, alcohol and wom.... err ... *cough* ... *wanders away*

Illness and Injury the same thing??? Wtf??? If I break my leg I'm injured, and don't necessarily have an Illness. If I catch a cold I have an illness, but I'm most certainly not injured.

{After dying} Famous and Forgotten, or Infamous and Hated?
