a Sony e-reader and it has insane battery life & Linda got him 2 presents –
her smiling self and the Complete Kidz in the Hall & he reviewed the Madmen
cocktail party as the food was good & the Giants won then & reviewed
inventing the Benedict burger as 'if bacon grease was alcohol, I'd have
blown a 2.5' and it was soooooo good

[tall] Kevin reviewed the article Chris did for Tor.com as brilliantly
written and he thinks it deserves a Hugo nomination [for short story]

Dave C reviewed the 'Vampire Genevieve' by Jack Yeovil as interesting – with
a marvellous selection of typos – worth full price

Lisa reviewed 'Sherlock' modernized, as a very interesting upgrade, a really
good job

Jo reviewed 'Stone' as the characterizations were brilliant & engrossing –
worth full price
