Best I've seen for the money mate, as long as you don't mind the lack of 3D (it does my head in, tbh, especially over normal glasses).

From my blog posting about it ...
"...What I wasnt expecting was to have to enter the wi-fi password 3 times, have the new device randomly reboot itself twice while I was playing with it and then requiring an immediate OS upgrade. Minor annoyances dealt with I was looking forward to seeing the new display in action (with better pixel density than my iPad 3) plus the benefit of twice the RAM, twice the CPU core density and all the general improvements you would expect in a tech gadget a year and a half newer than the one I was used to using. Unfortunately having played around with the 7 Mk2 for the best part of the night (I write this at 2am) it looks like the good old 7 day distance selling regulation will be getting invoked and the Nexus will be going back to ******. Why? Well its just not as good an experience. Here’s a breakdown …
Scrolling up and down apps and web pages is nowhere near as responsive as the iPad or my iPhone 5. Grab the screen on the iPad and slide your finger and the motion on screen is instant. With the Nexus 7 you drag your finger up and down and there is noticeable delay as the device plays catch up. It’s not horrible but its like going from a funky flat screen plasma back to the CRT telly you had as a kid – it works but it’s just not as good.
Loading up some apps and again the Nexus falls down. Facebook on IOS is fairly snappy, when it’s not crashing, but on the 7 its slow, scrolling chugs along and just doesn’t feel as refined. Even Chrome is a bit of a slouch.
Moving on to media and loading up the same image on both devices and putting them side by side shows the Nexus 7 to be slightly desaturated and with less red and a touch more green on show. It’s not horrible at all and is very good but just seems a touch too bright and washed out. It’s a million miles better than the Samsung OLED mess as seen on the S3 and S4 but I’m comparing it against what I was hoping it would replace - the Ipad 3.
What I’m really saying is that the new 7 is the tablet I wanted to own. Its got the spec down, its got the screen size and weight Id like to carry around but even with its doubling of RAM and core count it just doesn’t match the year and a half old iPad I’m writing this quick review on. Sorry droid fanboys, I’m staying IOS for a while yet!”
Just as an aside, Rikki is in no way an Apple lover. Everything he uses is PC based on either Windows or Linux and has been meddling with computers since his 386 on MS-DOS 5.0"
Pretty much mirrors what you say fella

Panasonic 42" LED.
I thought that TV was a fish tank at a glance, now come to think of it, won't it be cool to have an aquarium with a "city under water" as the decor instead of the usual sea rocks?

A couple of interesting items this week.
Always had an interest in the Crusades and the Knights Templar.
The sword is 'in the style of' rather than 100% accurate and it is blunt!

Gone a bit spendy this month. Loving the road bike but really looking forward to giving this a run out. Got a cracking deal on it at £500. Very happy
What voodoo is that ? the forks look different new or second hand?

They look like Rock Shox Revelations, RL or RLT.
Voodoo seem to come quite well spec'd
Bit of a bargain there!

just got some professional photos of my car through the post, not cheap at £65, and i'm not overly impressed with the quality:
damnit
That **** in the people carrier could have moved forward, I hate it when that happens.

Makes no diff. You are not meant to enter unless your exit is clear. Obviously it wasn't.

Got one after seeing it on here... it's awesome!
And couldn't resist this t-shirt. Bought 3 different Breaking Bad ones actually, had a 3 for £15 voucher so why not!
