Oh, the company who've got the wonder tanning drug working...there was something about it in the Sunday Times apparently.

Meanwhile the MP3 generation is still in full swing. Just get proper software like CDex.

Devon: The villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are connected with a really cool water powered railway. Lots of details at this site. This is a Must See if you are ever passing that way...
