At just over 6 inches (6.3 in fact) Samsung now have the worlds largest phone. Actually, I remember seeing much bigger mobile phones, but I guess they mean 'smartphone' - although the original, enormous mobile phones were though to be quite smart. I wonder if we have ever recorded the worlds 'larget phone'? I bet it never had any screen, never mind about a 6.3 inch version.
I struggle a bit with video games. ..or have they dropped the 'video' bit now? Apart from a brief relationship with Dig-Dug in the 80s on an IBM XT borrowed from the first company I worked for, I have never been over-enamoured with them. I have had a go at a few, notably a network version of a shoot-em-up game whose name escapes me which we played in the office at Christmas. What got me thinking about this was the article I was listening to on Front Row (the radio 4 arts program) about a remake of the Lara Croft game. I am surprised that this was worth a 4 minute review on a BBC's top arts show, so I'm obviously missing out on something. I did hear that dear Lara is not as well endowed as she was and doesn't make the same sort of evocative sounds she used to. ..so I'll need to get the old version then.
Did a 26 mile round the block cycle last night. I managed to get the 6th fastest time, which given the reasonably strong wind was not bad. My knees are not complaining, so should be OK for Sunday's 100 miler with Lincsquad.
