    I bought a $500 flat screen from them for my dad as a Christmas present one year. I split the price with my sister. She was worried about buying something like that online. I told her I bought it online not for the convenience but because I trust them much more than I do Best Buy.

    Do they have Amazon Same Day Delivery in Southampton? I have an extremely lazy friend who orders from them almost daily, despite the surcharge that makes it a massive ripoff for small items. I was having dinner with him at a restaurant once and he ordered a quart of ice cream for desert. Then complained about the fact that he couldn't get it delivered to the restaurant and would instead have to drive home to get it.

    It isn't politics.

    Turkish guy who now lives in US.

    Current situation:
    Pro-AKP thugs have been celebrating their "Democracy Festival" after beating the crap out of unarmed soldiers who surrendered. They've been terrorizing (insulting, trashing and trying to run them over in their cars) especially women and boys who don't dress "appropriately."

    My parents also told me this an hour ago. Looting everywhere it seems.

    Liveleak video where Erdogan supporters apparently cut a soldiers throat.

    Be careful when on social media.

    At the crossroads of the world... it was ever thus... but and it is a big but ... we have been here before in my life time.. A political volcano, but containable. Is it worse than the last time? Or does the instant communication and miscommunication that feeds 24 hour news exaggerate? What's clear is that Cameron's assertion that it would take Turkey at least another 30 years.... seems more apposite than the Brexit bullshit... hey ho COYS

    It's the equivalent of saying "now and again Katie Hopkins is funny".

    Can't give them oxygen.

    I'd never hit women, but just for her I'd make an exception, and would probably have to be dragged off her. She's a vile creature, who just needs to be put down.

    Sorry guys, rant over, but she boils my blood.:headbang:

    Strange coincidence... I ordered an iPhone 5c case that charges your phone if you switch it on, on Thursday, it arrived yesterday. Off Amazon. £10 I think.

    So, given the current situation in Turkey and the fact that I have a holiday booked there in 3 weeks...what book should I take with me to read by the pool whilst absolutely nothing untoward happens and I have a great holiday?

    It's great. It's got loads of killings, supernatural encounters, killings, useful dietary advice and killings.

    But that's the beauty of free speech, it means there is always something for everyone regardless of who doesnt like it.
    I didn't find it remotely controversial, some may. I don't care why people don't like it as long as they understand the reasons why they object and consider those reasons good.
