FIRE! Where is the extinguisher? How does it work? Shall I have a go?
These are the questions that normally get asked in the heat of the moment, not the best time to decide, and the answers are not always correct. I have been "Going to Blazes" for over thirty years now, and have seen a lot of flames.
I must say that while extinguishers do stop fires in their early stages, they also sometimes lure people to their deaths. Many people have opted for having a quick attempt at putting out a small fire, instead of ringing the Fire Service, often resulting in tears.

Having originally owned what is now known as an iPod Classic and being extremely happy with it, I decided upon hearing about the iPod Touch to purchase one. Expecting an mp3/mp4 player like any other with a few special features thrown in here and there, I was blown away by what I found.
