Me I like to think that life is like a drink, and I'm hoping that it tastes like Bourbon

If you live in Britain at what point do you stop thinking that we just have changeable weather and start thinking that it's personal ?

It was lovely sunshine all morning, so when I made my dinner I thought I'd take it outside into the garden. I'd barely started (I'd only got through half a bagel, or two pages of Prisoner's Dilemma depending on your preferred metric) when it began to rain.

I scuttled into the kitchen, finished my dinner and observed that it was brilliant sunshine again. And it still is. Bah.

Whose Prisoner's Dilema book is it?

Depending on how you meant the questions, it was written by William Poundstone (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prisoners-Dilemma-Neumann-Theory-Puzzle/dp/038541580X/ref=sr_1_2/026-4285683-5963607?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183990104&sr=8-2) and belongs to wimble.

I really like his books - 'Labrynths of Reason' is good too.
I like the way that the dry humour - not sure which book it is where he talks about colours and as part of the argument describes a world where everything has been coloured differently (blue grass, green sky, etc.). He then just throws in the fantastic aside 'presumably with the extensive use of non-toxic dyes' - I love the idea and the understatement of the task.

Ah, it's a novel, nothing to do with Mr Axelrod.

Assuming the anonymous comment was you - no, it's not a novel. It's subtitled "John von Neumann, game theory, and the puzzle of the bomb". So it's about the precursors to Mr Axelrod.
