I was a tad dubious about this concept of book reading via the iPhone until I trialled it on holiday this year. I downloaded the Twilight series of books and found the app to be very readable. What this did for me was to allow extra space in my suitcase (where the 3 or 4 books would have gone) for presents and Ouzo. Yes I went to Greece.

The great thing about the Stanza app is that you can also get Stanza Desktop which is a small utility program that helps convert books of differing formats into the ePub format that Stanza likes. It also helps in transferring these books to your iPhone.

Another good feature of the app is the ability to click to page flip, to drag one finger down the screen to dim the page, the ability to invert text to be black on white and to resize the font size, which automatically reformats the book.

All in all a really good free app

I shall watch with eager anticipation.

Scaffolding work begins on the new Pizza Express

The simplicity and ease of play of the game makes this very easy to pick and start to enjoy and as I said quite addictive. The levels get progressively harder, but not too hard and new bird types are introduced as one progresses. The cartoon style is cutesy and slick, whilst the physics engine makes the game different virtually every play. This is a must purchase at 59p, ridiculously good, addictive fun.

We wish them all the best in their conquest of Google, the site looks fabulous and is going to help their marketing enormously.

The graphics and sick humour are brilliantly realised. Watch your friends faces as, after they’ve said “arrrrhhh cute” upon seeing Cuddles and you slide your finger across the screen and slap him with a big smack sound. Then flip him up to the top of the screen and watch their faces again as he drops with a heavy thud to the floor. Give him a shake and listen to the “oooohh nooooo” from your now disturbed, laughing friends.

I’ll leave the rest of the delights for you to find out for yourself, but needless to say, it gets better.

This is definitely one of the best apps I’ve downloaded.

All prints are available to purchase so if you’re looking for the perfect Christmas present or wedding present, maybe a beautiful shot of the wedding church, pop along to www.PixOf.co.uk and grab an amazing print.

Having done some investigation I found this retail chain www.chipsworld.co.uk which has got quite a few stores throughout the UK, however none in Leicestershire which suggests Harborough would be a good  location. The group tout themselves as ‘The UK’s Largest Independent Video Game Retailer’ which could give Blockbuster a run for their money. Competition is good.

It appears my suspicions are true. The old Trentuno is now a gaming shop called Chips
