I've heard that these future 'bans' on ICEs are actually just bans on pure ICEs and apparently vehicles with even just stop-start technology are classed as 'Micro-Hybrids' which would be allowed after these 2032, 20

Opps, Forgot that: that's how irrelevant it's become. Email is just for signing up for things and for 'professional' communication (e.g. job offers, work placements, to teachers etc.). I think I only have about 5 of my f

I'm a teenager in the UK and Facebook has most certainly not died. it seems to me that people do use it less now but that may just be due to growing up (no more farmville etc.). However, Facebook is still heavily used for setting up ev

Am currently just in the conceptual stages but some sort of device where you plug in a bunch of ipods and then can select a song from any of them to play as well as queuing music etc. Is cool because at parties etc. means you don't hav

Yep. Also what's strange is that although I do have phone numbers for many of my 'extended friends' through facebook (synced to android, facebook downloads everyone's numbers to your contact list). I would be much more comfortable contactin
