Check this out -- My two projects collide:

"I like to read The Times Literary Supplement over breakfast. It is an education. The TLS keeps me so busy I don't have time to read other magazines" - Nigel Planer

I'm not sure if the thinking is that Nigel Planer is going to be a draw for people who would not normally read the TLS or if the TLS is trying to reassure the sort of people who are likely to read it that they are still relevant.

The Times Literary Supplement is available to American subscribers quite independent to the Sunday Times. Every once in a while subscribers are given the opportunity to sign their friends or family up for a cheap four issue gift subscription. So every once in a while I get a few issues gratis. Which is nice as I see that the price of a subscription in America has almost doubled in ten years. Everyone wants to emulate Nigel Planer.

One of the things that I've learned while looking up these ten year old ads is that googling the 800 number is by far the most efficient at getting results. Searching for the 800 number here brings us to this site. Which then leads us here. To make a long story short, the Saint Raphael has been completed and soon the final of the luxury residences of Pelican Bay, the Cap D'Antibes, will be completed. Or perhaps it has done. The copyright on the website is 2004.

I'm not sure what sort of information about prostate cancer you would have been given for calling The Theragenics Center ten years ago, but nowadays you will get a DVD about seed therapy. If you don't know how seed therapy works on prostate cancer, well, let's just say you're in for a heck of a ride. Fire up the popcorn and get seated comfortably.

Vacanza Bella is

not a travel agency. We do not rent cars. We do not do home exchanges. We do not arrange hotels. We do not plan trips. We do not do France, Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, or any other country.

They won't meet you in person, but they also don't want to deal with you exclusively by e-mail. They want to talk to you on the phone in order "to make absolutely certain that the Italian holiday home you've selected is right for you and your needs." The dude is passionate. Perhaps a little too passionate? Well, it seems like the sort of exactitude that comes from years of being yelled at by people who went somewhere without paying attention to the description of where they were going. Have a look at the FAQ, you'll see what I mean.

When the Hamilton catalog shows up I sit down and start marking it up for things I want. Then I go through and decide which of the things that I marked I'm actually willing to pay for (it's still quite a bit). Then my wife goes through and marks it up with what she wants. Then I go through it again, so I am sure just what I am going to order. At this point a new Hamilton catalog shows up, and we toss the one we marked up and start over. Occasionally we actually make an order. When that happens, you can be sure that a new Hamilton Catalog will show up every three days for the next eighteen months or so.
