  1. I have not turned on my computer, and I am tidying. This is important. And unusual.
  2. @praxxis it's not my fault. I'm pretty sure @MiriamP showed me how to use it.
  3. @NathanaelB I spend a lot of my time out of the office, and more often than not I retreat to my car simply so I can see my lappy screen!
  4. @NathanaelB Windows are one thing, an outdoor working environment totally another. What do you do when it rains/blows/too cold/no power etc?
  5. And I can find a service manual for it on-line, but not a user manual. That's a bit of a fail, eh LG? :-p
  6. Oops. I think I've been using my washing machine wrong since I got it. The 'eco' label points to another dial location when you squat down!
  7. @Lilylauren *hugs*
  8. Happy Birthday @a_liss_a! I hope you're nice and warm!! :-D
  9. People sitting in the cafe, soaking up the free wifi, drinking water, denying offer after offer of coffee, snacks, anything. Sucks balls.
  10. Cops were here quickly. I'm guessing I wasn't the only caller! Cool. Let's hope it was nothing more sinister than an excess of alcohol.
  11. I expect it's just a dad with an unruly daughter, but still...
  12. On the one hand, you don't want to bother emergency services, but on the other hand, when some dude is dragging a young girl away...
  13. Chronicle. Like a Canadian Akira. Absolutely, totally, worth the watch.
  14. It's always the lady slipping into something more comfortable, whereas it's actually the gentleman who is anticipating that act...
  15. Occasionally, my love of b-grade movies turns up a real gem or a proper LOL moment. This time it's a helicopter on a spaceship!
  16. @Lilylauren and if they don't lose, you'll be having a celebratory drink? Win-win.
  17. @suziam oops, a typo! *the bus... ;-)
  18. Broken news: Visa's exclusive sponsorship agreement with London Olympics forces takedown of 27 ATM sites. po.st/iIpdK5
  19. Classic technology - The Mechanics and Meaning of That Ol' Dial-Up Modem Sound po.st/Y1qC73/
