Most NHS hospitals have BT OpenZone WiFi which means the can be used by O2 customers (ie iPhone users) free of change. I work in one, The Churchill Hospital in Oxford. We're the triangular building marked D on the map, my office is in the top left (North most) corner of the building.

Wales 15, Ireland 17 - which means the Irish win their first Grand Slam for sixty years. :ireland:

Somehow, I don't think we'll be seeing much of Rochey for a while. :cheers:

Much to the shame of his ancestry, I'm sure, Rochey isn't really a drinker IIRC.

Of course, if I knew what you were talking about I'm sure this occasion would call for an exception.

that'd be my guess too.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Whooo! Ireland wins their first Grand Slam in 61 years, 17 - 15!
Man, that was one hell of a match. In the last minute, Wales grabbed themselves a penalty, and could have won the match if they'd gotten it, but they missed the kick for the first time in the entire match!

Now, I'll see you lot tomorrow. I'm off to party. :)

Congrats Ireland :)

Dad's changed his mnd on cars yet again, but it looks even surerr this time. He wants the Fiat Qubo, based on their Fiorino Commercial van. It's equipped with a 1.3 Multijet Turbodiesel, although that does little to make this thing fast (quite sluggish, i have been told. Although comfy) The advantage is that for a super mini, just under four meters in length, its got the boot space of some European standard Mid-sized estates (they'd be compact estates for the American's I imagine). Plus if you fold the back seats up, it has a massive 2,500 litres worth of boot space. Good for the dogs, when we get the second one.

I think it is a shrunken mini-van.

Yep. Its basically the passenger car version of the Fiat Fiorino compact van. With an updated interior. And to us, 4 metres isnt actually all that small for a commercial vehicle such as the Fiorino.

And now we've thumped Villa 5-0. :D One point behind United, albeit they've got a game in hand, but we're still breathing down their necks. :D

Lets put a few more images of this Qubo for the sceptics. No its not pretty, thats cause its a practical thing. Plus, the engine gets 62 mpg combined cycle AND is only £35 tax. And the insurance group is second from the bottom, so its cheap as chips to run and has better practicality than many large estate cars.
