When singer-songwriter Nick Drake died of a drug overdose in the autumn of 1974, he left behind only three well-received but modest selling albums. Today, he is recognised as one of true geniuses of English folk music, with millions of fans worldwide and a regular place in all-time best album lists. Using many newly discovered documents and all-new interviews with the singer’s friends and associates, Trevor Dann’s book reveals more detail on Nick Drake’s life than ever previously published, from his early years in Tanworth-in-Arden and Cambridge, to the missed opportunities and mismanagement that defined his recording career, to the remarkable ‘Drake cult’ that has grown since the singer’s death at age 26. An unflinching portrait of a reclusive and gifted artist, Darker Than the Deepest Sea is essential reading for any serious music fan.

Everyone knows that Jeremy Clarkson finds the world a perplexing place – after all he wrote a bestselling book about it. Yet despite the appearance of “The World According To Clarkson” things don’t seem to have improved much. However Jeremy is not someone to give up easily and he’s decided to have another go. In “And Another Thing” our exasperated hero discovers that: he inadvertently dropped a bomb on North Carolina; we’re all going to explode at the age of 62; Russians look bad in Speedos – but not as bad as we do; no one should have to worry about being Bill Oddie’s long lost sister; and he should probably be nicer about David Beckham. Thigh-slappingly funny and – as ever – in your face Jeremy Clarkson bursts the pointless little bubbles of the idiots while celebrating the special the unique and the sheer bloody brilliant…

Floatation Experience Feel your tension drift away with this floatation therapy session. Everyone knows how easy it is to float in the Dead Sea. Floatation is the best method of attaining the deepest rest that is humanly possible to experience. It consists of floating for an hour or more in a 10″ deep solution of Epsom salts, in a specially designed tank or room that eliminates all outside distractions. The solution is constantly maintained at the average body temperature of 98.4 degrees. The buoyancy of the salts solution allows your body to be supported on the surface of the water, giving the impression of zero gravity. The floating experience is not just an alternative form of rest; it creates a depth of relaxation not found in any other form of therapy. Even after just a few minutes of floating, you feel the wonderful effects. An hour long session is enough to emerge refreshed physically and mentally. Your session will be in a private lockable room equipped with a shower. The door and lighting can be controlled from inside the tank or room.   About The Floatation Experience When can you go?

There’s no doubt about it the PC has successfully taken over our lives (in a good way – not like HAL out of 2001. That would be terrifying.) especially when it comes to photography. It may be the digital age but what are you expected to do with all of your old photos? The Pandigital Photo Scanner gives you an alternative to chucking your well loved photos in a box destined to become another dusty loft feature. Scanning your 4×6 glossies is now easier than ever. Attempting to scan them on a flat bed scanner can become rather tiresome especially when you have to spend a good minute lining them up so they don’t show up wonky on your computer (wonky is a perfectly acceptable technical term). With the Pandigital you just slip the pic into the photo sheath (included) and then feed it into the tiny scanner. Simple as. Your photo will then be saved onto a media card that you can then transfer to your Digital Photo Frame or store for safe keeping. You can even hook it up to your PC if all you want to do is create a digital replica of the image. It can be nice having a hard copy of a photograph but over time the photo fades the dust starts to settle and before you know it your trip to the zoo is a yellow fazed shadow. With the Pandigital scanner you can make sure the image stays as fresh as the picture in your head.
