Since I have had a Sky+ television box, I have enjoyed the luxury of being able to record and 'Time shift' my favorite TV programmes with just a couple of clicks.

But as an avid radio 4 buff I find myself wishing I could do a similar thing for Radio. There are some programmes that can be downloaded via iTunes as a http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/help. I still find myself listening to trailers for radio progs I would have enjoyed and then somehow missing them completely.

After years putting up with the fact that whatever mobile network I was on I would spend most of my time, whilst in Shelfanger, standing on one leg trying to get even one bar of signal.

I came across a product called Sure Signal, at the moment it:
*only works on vodafone
*you have to have a 3G mobile
* and broadband

But when you plug it in (it costs £50) you immediately get a full signal anywhere in the house.

Tags (taxonomy) explained - Originally the term taxonomy referred only to the classifying of organisms (now sometimes known as alpha taxonomy) or a particular classification of organisms. However, it has become fashionable in certain circles to apply the term in a wider, more general sense, where it may refer to a classification of things or concepts, as well as to the principles underlying such a classification.

There are two derivations of the name. One is that of the youth of Greek mythology called Narcissus, who, in at least one of many variations of the tale, became so obsessed with his own reflection as he kneeled and gazed into a pool of water that he fell into the water and drowned. In some variations, he died of starvation and thirst from just sitting by the edge of the pool until he gave out, gazing at his reflection until he died. In both versions, the Narcissus plant first sprang from where he died.

In Lufwaffe raids the bombers had formidable protection from night fighters and there was an urgent need to find a way of giving our defending fighters a better chance against them. Britain was ahead in the radar race and the idea was conceived to miniaturise radar sets to be small and robust enough to be carried on our own night fighters. A downward-looking radar system called “H2S” was already in use in bombers, which gave some rough view of the ground through cloud cover.
