I see that Dollhouse Season 2 has entirely dropped off the radar.

[coalescent]

I'm not sure there's much debate about Dollhouse season two.

[andrewducker]

Really? I've heard very good things from a couple of people and "meh" from others.

How speaks The Unanimity?

[coalescent]

Scenes with Amy Acker in = GOOD. Most of the rest = BAD. (And the extent to which you think the season is worth watching tends to depend on the weight you give to the Amy Acker scenes, either in themself or as a marker of things to come.)

It's a little late now for blackberries, but the damp summer was very good for them. Om, nom.
Friends with the other kind seem to like those, too.

[coalescent]

I have just been given the other kind at work, you see. STUPID STUPID KEYBOARD.

I was volunteered for one by my old manager in March. The keyboard is indeed rubbish but you'll get used to it. Its best use so far has been letting me read overnight emails from our support team in Singapore whilst on the train in so I don't get surprised by my manager (who gets in around 8am) asking me what I plan to do about X, Y and Z as soon as I walk into the office.

My cousin (voluntarily) bought a newer model a couple of months ago and the keys are just that bit bigger as to make it easier to use.

[lamentables]

Oh my, I never even thought about the other kind, just the nommy ones.

Blackberries as in berries or as in gadgets?

...actually, never mind, my answer's the same either way.

Blackberries as in berries or as in gadgets?

Whichever comes to mind first, in the spirit of GOOD or BAD.

[andrewducker]

Yeah, my answer was to do with the fruit, which I have more experience with.

[communicator]

Am I right in thinking all you youngsters think raising the retirement age is good and all us oldsters think it's bad. Humph. You wait.

[coalescent]

No, bohemiancoast is at the upper end of the age range, and rosefox and dyddgu are at the lower.

[andrewducker]

I voted "good" to that because I think it's vital, and makes sense.

[coalescent]

I agree that given increasing life expectancy, some raise in the retirement age makes sense. But I wouldn't say it's vital; I could be persuaded that we should just all pay more tax while working to support the longer retirement period.

Blackberries good, brambles bad

[jinty]

I didn't even think of the machine (even though I too have one for work - use it v infrequently mind you). The ones with the full keyboard are much much better.

Re: Blackberries good, brambles bad

[coalescent]

I can imagine. Unfortunately mine is very stupid: a qwerty arrangement, but at two letters per key. So it is neither like regular multitouch, nor like a full keyboard; rather it is the worst of both worlds. Aargh.

Re: Blackberries good, brambles bad

[talvalin]

Ah. I thought you had a full keyboard model. Those other ones suck quite badly.
