Does anyone else still favour minidiscs?

I love minidiscs, they're my preferred recording/listening medium but realise that they are on the verge of becoming obsolete. I always used to stock up on blank ones at my local HMV but last weekend...

In the original 60s TV series, which episode was it where the baddies turned some of the Enterprise crew into little grey cubes? I remember they sadistically killed one of those microskirted women by...

How can I get rid of woodlice in the house?

We live in a top-floor flat and are relatively untroubled by insect life etc. But we do have quite a few woodlice in the flat. Not that it's an infestation, but pretty much every day we have to evict...

How can I found out about early human existence?

In particular, social practices among the earliest humans - families, eating, communities, dealing with illness. Are there any definitive texts or recognised experts?

Who do you seek out/avoid in films?

Are there certain actors who make you either want to see a film or give it a wide berth? I'm drawn to films featuring Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn, and Johnny Depp. Based on experience, I try to steer...

What's your earliest memory?

Mine is sitting in a high chair in the dining room of the house I grew up in, being fed gloopy baby food by my Dad. After that, it'd be my 3rd birthday, when Mark Upton blew out the candles on my cake...

Can the Queen be arrested?

If she was on walkabout, went loopy and kicked the sh*t out of one of her subjects or punched them in the head, would normal arrest & charge protocols apply? Not that I'm suggesting this is likely to...

Would a person really explode in space?

It's been depicted in films etc - an unsuited or ruptured-suited person in space swells up and explodes because of the differential pressure. Would this actually happen (as well as their asphyxiating...

Do pores really "open" and "close"?

We all talk glibly about this process of "opening the pores" etc but is it really true? We must have millions of pores - is there really a tiny ring of dilatory muscle surrounding each one? I do...

I mean alfresco eating. As soon as a single photon of sunlight fights its way through the cloud cover, certain restaurants and cafes immediately set up tables outside. And people seem to be drawn to...
