Can everyone who doesn't already have one, please buy a thermometer? I like the Braun Thermoscan which is about £30 on Amazon at the moment. It makes it really difficult to assess swine flu over the...

Do they not do them in leather any more? Or corduroy? Or did they never do them in corduroy and I'm thinking of another type of Ikea sofa? I have the leather Ektorp one and would like another one, but...

I was at TT last night at Wembley Stadium and made the horrific decision to drive. For an official car park it was a shambles. Did anyone else drive either last night or one of the other nights? Did...
