    Philipines / Manila

    Don't spend too long in Manila if possible, the city is riddled with problems, extremely bad traffic, quite expensive etc.. Take a flight from Manila to Boracay island, it's a much cheaper resort island, watersports, beaches and all that and it's not overcrowded, great restaurants with plenty...

    Favourite PC Game of All Time!!

    Age of Empires II, every single lunchtime at school we'd have a battle. This went on for years. I still remember as a kid getting up at 6am so I could practice a bit before going to school. It's still the best RTS I've ever played.

    The World's Largest Restaurant

    Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't the world's largest restaurant. This one in Syria is. It overtook the Bangkok one last year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7435424.stm

    Patient trapped in a 23-year 'coma' was conscious all along

    Can't imagine the kind of total psychological damage this has done to him. Imagine how long it'll take to reintegrate into society..

    Creative cards have always been more trouble than they're worth in my experience, always seem to have terrible driver support for anything past XP.

    The Oatmeal.com

    It's a good site but they don't add new stuff that often. I suppose you could frequent it monthly to see whats been added.

    Just watched latest STAR TREK film

    You could tell the director was the same guy who did lost because of the shaky camera hollywood style of filming. Loved all the ship interiors and the CGI, the story wasn't that strong and it wasn't true at all to Star Trek style but overall it was enjoyable. 8/10.
