What is Wonky Pop?

Blimey, that Pixie Lott has a fair pair of lungs: she can't half belt out a song.

I do wonder, though, about her name. "Pixie" is fine when you are 18, starts looking a bit silly when you double that age (unless she goes for the drastically under fed look - which, happily she seems not to be as yet), and would, I reckon, put the kibosh on any pretensions to divahood in due course, although that's assuming quite a lot.



I think I am going through a second teenage: I suddenly decided a few days ago, that despite my disdain for her inability to pronounce the letter 't' where she can use a glottal stop instead, I am beginning to like Lily Allen. I think Furtle is slightly aghast...

Help me Lazyweb, you're my only hope.

Here is a quick question for those of you good people out there on my chums list who know about these things.

I am looking to buy an external hard drive in the next couple of weeks – and have a budget of about £50-£60 to spend¹. I was eyeing up Seagate drives as I’ve bought those before and they seem reasonably reliable. Reliability is more important than speed since the drive will be used for mainly data storage and back ups, rather than applications.

Does anyone know of any good deals out there at the moment that I should take into consideration?


¹Though I may revisit this as I see for a few extra quid I can walk into Maplin’s and buy a 1TB disk instead of a 500GB device.
