    Nice first Cast guys :)

    I Agreed with all your guys comments except the new Muse album which I have not heard yet.

    I am also really disappointed with google wave. I feel like google are just reaching into a lucky packet and pulling out their next project without even looking through it these days.

    I am also glad to hear that I am not the only one that dislike mug n bean and their shoddy service!
