Re: Any 6 Nations Rugby fans?

I've never been a fan of Italian rugby and have always viewed them as a bit of a run out, however they did do very well against Ireland.

Scotland to beat Wales.

Re: Hewlett PAckard PDAs

HX 4700 - charges when sat in cradle but doesn't appear to want to recharge or run from charger socket when in car. I have Tomtom installed and it gets a bit heavy on the battery. A new battery arrived this morning so I;ll take that on a trip and see how it goes
