I took the liberty of enabling this. It's in ?q=admin/settings (or  
now just admin/settings) and then under the "General Settings" you  
want the radio button "Enabled" in the  "Clean URLs" section.

This gives URL's such as http://nottingham.lug.org.uk/node/74 which,  
as the book page on desktops would be much better as http:// 
nottingham.lug.org.uk/Desktops (it now is by the way).

You can achieve things like this by "naming" the page in the "URL  
Path Settings" part of the add/edit page. With the current NLUG theme  
this is hidden by default but exists as the second item in the list  
of "hidden/closed" options just underneath the "Log Message" box.

Hope that helps,
