My picture pops up – because I once <a href="http://www.qype.co.uk/review/894705">wrote a favourable review</a> of it.</p>
<p>Better yet, if you then do the <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=Oliva%20Dolce&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi">same search but concentrating on images</a>, there’s a Google Ad inviting you to travel with 1200 lesbians. Sounds like my average dating night out to me.</p>

<p>I’ve come back from two weeks in the United States - one week in Cleveland with HyperHam, and one week with (almost) my entire family exploring <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/badlydubbedboy/3640863724/sizes/o/">New York</a>.</p>
<p>Whilst in New York, I had to pay for wireless Internet access. I ended up paying about $30 for Internet access on three of the five days I was in one of the world’s most amazing cities - although one time was so I could try to check-in for flights online, and another time was for a (failed) job application.</p>
<p>But really, I didn’t HAVE to have Internet access. I just wanted it. and there’s only so much walking around you can do before your legs fall off…</p>
