Well I only get three days out of it with the wifi / 3g off.

That's about two hours with it reading out loud each day but it should / did last much longer than that.

So yup I may get another battery once I've checked the purchase date to see exactly when I got it.

or skiving off mate?

40-50 minute bus journey to/from work every day, tend to read approx an hour most evenings, more at week-ends, and the ability to speed read (a 300 page book takes about 3-4 hours).

It helps that I don't watch a lot of TV.....

HTH....

I have read or tried to read The Ophiuchi hotline but I have no idea what it's about. I suspect I gave up on it.

I hope you enjoy it more than I. :)

Wasn't that much of a secret as they plonked a blimmin great castle at the top of my road.

Wasting more police time.

Should be compulsory reading for MPs and a copy should be nailed to the head of the guy who wrote the Windsor report as its far more realistic and better researched than his report with its phantom sources.
