He's been replaced already!
Personally, I am more miffed about Billie Piper leaving. She's signed on for some episodes of the new series, but she's a good actress... surprisingly.
Must say I'm loving the resurrection of Doctor Who. Never seen it before it returned to the Beeb, but watched every episode so far. It's GRRRRRREAT.
BUT. Guess who's going on vacation to Cyprus next saturday, approximately 30 minutes before "Bad Wolf" airs? Curse my bad timing!
If you have 500+ CD's I'd definitely recommend a 20GB (or more) version rather than the mini. Don't restrict yourself to an iPod either. I know they're the coolest, but there are some other great models out there and they're usually cheaper than the iPod.
As for me, I have about 100 or so CD's and I went for a 20GB Creative Nomad Zen about two years ago -- and I still love it.
Recently I've been listening to a guy called Devendra Banhart, who is brilliant, but quite weird. His voice is unlike anything you've ever heard, and his lyrics are certifiably insane.
"It turns out she was a 16 year old girl from upstate New York whose goth ex-boyfriend thought he was both a werewolf AND a vampire, and had a habit of bleeding from every orifice while screaming. She said he never actually changed into a beast, he just thought he might.
Believe me, if you're a real werewolf, you'll know it.
It begs the question, how does that dude have a girlfriend, and I don't?"
Get something in writing in case one of you dies. Seriously. I had a friend who ended up sharing his half of a restaurant with his dead partners wife.
Oh man, I read that as "partner's dead wife" and pictured people eating their empanadas whilst sat round a coffin. Not sure how hygienic that would be...
Oh by the way, I should add that almost every New Zealand sports team does their own version of the Haka... the All Blacks just happen to be the most famous.
And that first 3) in my above comment should be a 1), obviously.
3) League has 13 players, union has 15.
2) In league the team with the ball is allowed to be tackled 6 times by their opponents before they have to kick the ball or hand possession to the other team. There is no tackle-limit in union.
3) In league, tries are worth 4 points, conversions 2, penalties 2, and drop-goals 1. In union, it's 5, 2, 2 and 2 respectively.
League is more of a structured game, with line-outs and scrums not really playing much part - it's more about running with the ball. In union, the set-plays are of more significance, with the games being won by the forwards in the ruck and maul area, the line-out and the scrum.
But at the end of the day, both games are about getting the ball over the try-line. A fan of one code can easily watch the other code and understand what is going on and enjoy the match.
The link was down for me too, but it seems to working again now. I hate spiders with a deep, deep passion, yet somehow I still click the link?! The picture of the guy with the humungous spider on his hand make me feel slightly queasy... *shivers*
I was just about to say the same thing as Chaz. Except the version I know has "three for a girl".

Thanks all. I did what mechagrue suggested and sent an email to my hosting company and forwarded them the message in question too.
