1. DVD of the 10 best ashes moments from the last 2 England wins. If you're an England it's worth watching the most recent wins in case things take a turn for the worst down under.

2. Beer. A fridge full of beer is absolutely necessary. Cricket cannot be watched without it and the Ashes simply must not be!

3. An alarm clock. The games will go through the night in the UK. Be sure to set the alarm for when you doze off. This will stop you from missing work. In general this helps pay the bills of the electricity needed to watch cricket.

4. Conversation points. Cricket can be a long old game. You might want to think up talking points for the long hours ahead. Impress your friends by jotting down a list of little known facts and figures that you can throw out willy nilly to really impress. Just don't include politics or religion on the subject menu or things could turn ugly.

5. A Cricket reference book. Cricket has some of the strangest phrases in sport (googly or silly mid off anyone?). Show up your mates by knowing the definitions off by heart.

6. Pizza. In the middle of the night after a few beers you will need pizza. It's a definite. Fill your fridge and freezer with the stuff. Your friends will love you for it as will your stomach.

7. Holiday time. You're going to miss work at some point. So make sure you have holiday reserved. That way you don't have to be the living dead at work. Plus it will make you feel smug knowing you are sleeping when all your friends are busy at jobs they hate.

8. An internet connection. With the best will in the World we all know Cricket can get boring at times. Make it more fun by accessing You Tube/Vimeo/Google Video to watch sped up highlights from past games all set to the appropriately infantile Benny Hill sound track.

9. A newspaper crossword. Speed through it early doors. Then leave the brain to think about the harder ones through the night. I guarantee that come 6am you will finally get 4 down and go to bed with a grin on your face.

10. A chess board. You've got 5 nights in which to beat your mate. Even you can plan the moves in advance with that kind of time. Just make sure your friend isn't Garry Kasparov or you could be in for a heck of a beating!

Here's looking forward to another classic Ashes series. With the recent history and relative parity between the sides it promises to be an exciting affair. With any luck England will reign supreme but if things start going wrong I hope the above tips at least bring some light relief during the month or so. At the time of writing let's continue to dream of victory.

Four Things to Use Your Mini Notebook For

Most people are unaware of the full capabilities of the netbook. They know that these are smaller laptops with supposedly slower hardware, but they don't know if it will run their favorite programs, or will it be just a sluggish nightmare to use them.

Mini notebooks are good for a great variety of things, and you should know about these applications before buying one so that you don't regret paying money, even if it was cheaper than a normal computer would have been.

1. Browsing the net. This is where these computers find their element. With the great variety of available connections you are never going to run out of informational highway. Wireless network of 802.11b/g/n are almost always available, you couldn't find one without the G variation even if you looked. Bluetooth is almost always an integrated part, but you should look if you need this sort of wireless connection, since not all manufacturers choose to use it. Infra-Red is often missing, but you are going to purchase anything with an USB connector.

2. Checking e-mails. Even though most people are now on Facebook and all sorts of instant messaging service, they still demand to be available via e-mail. You can use webmail services or run a pop3 client, all netbooks deal with this sort of load just fine, and thanks to the big - at least compared to smartphones - keyboard you can quickly answer too, without using your nails to type on some tiny buttons.

3. Playing games. Some of you are now shocked, because it goes against everything you've heard about netbooks, but you can play games on a netbook without a problem given that you choose the game well. Standard, non ION based notebooks run flash games fairly well, and you can play older titles without having to worry. Once it is up a level, and you want to check in with the friends in WoW, you will need at least an ION enabled netbook. They are available for 0-0, so barely any extra cost, and for the extra power the extra Nvidia 9300m chip gives it is really not all that much.

4. Watching movies. There is no DVD drive, and the screen seems really small, but more and more films are available in online stores and rental places so you should have no problem getting your favorites on the hard disk drive. You can use local network and transfer them from your main computer, too. The components are fast enough to play DVD quality movies, and watching the latest series you will most probably be satisfied with the result.

Netbooks are good for a great variety of things, even ones you didn't know it would handle well. If you don't buy a mini laptop with really high expectations, you will always be positively surprised at what the technology can put in such a small case these days.
