Does the thought of families being allowed to mix over Christmas make you feel anxious or relieved?The best Christmases we had when my children were young were when my husband worked on Christmas Day and we had to work out our own schedule to fit around his shifts. We didn't have any visitors, it was just us. People make too much fuss over Christmas. This year I have opted to spend it on my own. I have managed since March. There are plenty of other ways to communicate with your family and friends. I'm hoping for a big get together for Easter.ViewDate:

Would you use Skype to see a GP over a face-to-face appointment?Great idea of quite a number of enquiries. Wouldn't be appropriate for everything but then quite a few people actually go to see the GP inappropriately. A lot of GP practices have some sort of triage procedure to make sure that you get the most appropriate care. Being able to see the patient can give the doctor or nurse additional information to work on.ViewDate:

Why do some people still cling to religion?I could have written that myself jugsy. We must have a similar genetic make up.ViewDate:

Purchase errorI love my iMac. I use windows PCs all day at work and have previously had a lot of different PCs. Since starting using iPhones and iPads I have really been sold on the ease of use of apple products. The best feature that I have found since buying it is portability. I live on my own and my last PC had to be set up on a desk in the spare bedroom so found that I didn't use it that often as it felt quite isolating. I live in a flat with an open plan kitchen living room and I now have my mac set up on my dining room table most of the time so I have have the TV on and keep eye on the dinner etc., when I have visitors and need the table I can just move it in seconds. I know that they are a bit pricier than PCs but macs seem to last considerably longer so in the end probably work out cheaper.ViewDate:

Science FictionSorry, Keith I meant the Hugh Walters books. I was overcome with nostalgia about those especially when I saw the old cover pictures on Amazon.ViewDate:

Science FictionThank's for the suggestions Keith. It has made me reminisce about what first got me to into scifi and it was a series of books by Hugh Walters which I started reading when I was about 10. They were aimed at young people and mostly used the same characters on various adventures exploring the planets in the solar system. Taking a quick look on Amazon none are still in print and the second hand copies are quite pricey :(ViewDate:

Science FictionI used to read nothing else when I was a teenager. All the Asimov robot stories and I was particularly fond of Robert Heinlein. I'm not sure when I stopped reading scifi but it has been quite a few years now. Perhaps I ought to revisit some.
