Data,
Looking through the gallery and noticed you have a cat, I also noticed your cat has a scratching post. I've looked at scratching things for cats but I've read too many bad reviews about them, will you're cat use his, hers? I've already replaced the computer chair because of the cat.

This looks like it will actually work, and in a realistic timeframe too..........

Hi all,

For those that are unaware the team that brought us the current land speed record holding car Thrust SSC are currently developing an new car intended to break the 1000mph mark.

The driver of Thrust SSC will be the driver of the new car, Bloodhound and writes a regular blog on the BBC which can be a pretty good read, especially when he told Sebastian Vettel he drives a pump motor .

Here is the latest blog from Wing-Commander Andy Green in which he discusses the other contenders for the land speed record which we look likely to hear about very soon in some cases.

Now, we have all had favourites songs we have heard and have been totally Shocked, Stunned and Horrored to discover that what we thought we heard was totally wrong. Let's have yours, just for fun.

One that springs to mind, is that young Lady really telling us to Foxtrot Oscar in the centre section of Paul Youngs' rendition of Love Of The Common People.

Over to you.
