I need the following:

mp3/4 player with up to 16gb memory

3.5mmjack

dual SIM

tri or quad band

radio

voice recorder

Not that bothered about 3G and definitely NOT interested a Samsung, which are utter shite.

Any suggestions?

Britney Spears or Amy Winehouse?

It's pretty clear to anyone with a pulse that he is just another brutal tyrant who will kill anyone to stay in power. Why go through a meaningless charade when he has nothing to gain from it?

Surely he could just cancel the election, as dictators do, and save a lot of people from torture, rape and murder?

....has a decent camera (5mps) AND decent mp3 capacity. Can anyone out there give me some ideas.

(Yes, I know I can go to a zillion webpages and read reviews, but I've got better things to do with my time - you clearly don't.)

(Price isn't an issue if it's going to save me from forking out for 3 different items.)

If so, do I have to cite the original source or the primary source?

I am thinking of going to Cuba - the real Cuba, not those plastic resorts for tourists. Does anyone know any good hotels/places to stay/visit? I am thinking of a 2 week holiday.

Any tips would be great....

Thanks

I just splashed out for a set of Bose's C5 multimedia speakers. I heard somewhere that it is a good idea to leave the speakers on overnight with the bass up full wack to break in the speakers before using them.

Is there any validity in this or is just getting a bit anal? Clearly, having just spent a shedload on them, I want them to last longer than the rubbish Altec Lansing ones that went **** up on me after 9 months.

...to enjoy a reasonably comfortable standard of living in the UK now?

You define what is a "Comfortable" standard of living in your area and give me a net figure (ie. take-home income, after the govt. has got its filthy hands on your money and has squandered it on nuclear submarines and the like). Let us know where you live too.

I don't want cocky answers from rich tossers who have to eat out every night 'cos they don't have the gumption to cook or bleeding-heart answers from tree-huggers who recycle their bög paper....

.....just answers from normal people please.

My mum is coming to visit me in Saudi in just over a week and I would like some (sensible) suggestions for where to take her and what to do with her - I haven't been in Saudi long.

I live in Khobar in the EP and I don't want to travel too far. I am planning to take her to Al Hasa and into the desert. What else is there?

I am particularly interested in hearing from Saudis on this question!

Thanks!

I know we have cut down loads of trees and spünked billions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere, but can someone explain how the carbon helps to warm the planet.

What happens to it after it is released?

Does it float around until a tree converts it back into oxygen?

I am planning a boy's weekend somenwhere nice, and I've narrowed it down to Tallinn, Riga or Vilnius. We are the sort who like to mix a bit of culture in with the usual excessive drinking and womanizing. Anyone any experience?

I just downloaded Limewire, which didn't seem to want to work - so I came to YA to find out why. It seems, from what people here say, that Limewire isn't a very good P2P to have. It's riddled, so to speak. So which one is? I am looking for a decent site from which I can buy the latest and share the older stuff......

.....and please don't get too technical with me...!

I just finished a 6 year boycott of the airline ('cos they had a special deal on) and didn't they just go remind me why I boycotted them in the first place...? What a bunch of wänkers.

I've told you need Malaria and all that, but I just can't be ársed.

Have you had any products installed into your property under SEI's "Greener Homes Scheme"?

We are thinking of applying for a grant to instal a solar panel and a heat pump and we want to know if it is cost-effective. Any input would be most welcome, especially including links to forums which discusses these issues. Many Thanks..

For some reason, I fancy experimenting in the rude boy stuff....
