Inductive Charging[^] is what you are talking about. It is a good idea but there are some disadvantages too, so maybe not every phone but I would like to see it done in a standard way and adopted widely. (Wouldn't it be nice to set your phone on a table at a restaurant or coffee shop and have it charge it.)
Oh, anyone talking about health concerns from the magnetic fields should follow the link and read what this is. (The fields are small and localized. It's NOT some gigantic field to cover your house/office/...)

It's all fun and games until we all find out we're shooting blanks...

I have the Nokia as well, the inductive charging feature is way under marketed. To nice for those of us on call to just be able to pick the darn phone up to answer a call.
For the times that the cord is needed putting on the top of the phone is a huge pain. It's always in the way.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

It's been around the block a few times and I think Leslie has posted it before but all the same, it's a funny revision of the classic "four candles" sketch. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

But it wasn't even black. Looked more like a raspberry.
It must have been the newer version which comes in red as well.

That was pretty good... I just feel bad for my nieces and nephews... they'll probably be getting apples, and blackberries, and if they play their cards right... maybe even an eggs box.

Discussion about the teachers strike at work today - leave it, not here - when the woman I sit next to (in her 20s) asked "Who is Michael Gove"*.
I was sad and angry and told her she wasn't allowed to contribute to any discussion about anything. After a few seconds I asked her "Have you heard of David Cameron?"**.
She said "Yes of heard of him... Don't know who he is, but I've heard of him".
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

In her defence, Michael Gove is pretty much instantly forgettable...I could look at a picture of him and have no idea what he looked like ten minutes later.
And having exchanged emails with him some years back, I strongly suspect his own brain doesn't know who he is either...

I was actually expecting an image of a polished turd with a yellow ribbon round it...glad I was wrong
But then, I have no idea who (or what) Pob is, so that doesn't help much

Pob was massive for a couple of years when I was a kid, a kind of cult status - I'd imagine for a short period in the late nineties every school had one kid given the knickname.

As Septimus says, you haven't missed much. Obama met him when he was leader of teh UK opposition and described him as "a lightweight". He hasn't improved since then...

I'm not allowed to discuss Gove in the house. It's the same as when Brown was in power, if I say what I think about him then Mrs Wife has trouble talking politely to them. I was very proud of her last week, early morning through to a late dinner spent with The Great Victator and Camaroon, and she didn't drop a single C bomb or punch either of them; I call that restrained.
