    Forgot to add that they are still small which does solve your problem (at twice the cost).

    Actually I'll give you that one. Robert the Spruce (2007) made it until February and unnamed (2008) made it till mid-March which was when he was planted in the gf's garden.

    It was early in the morning, in a small village, on a an old machine.

I waited until the bank opened but when I told them that I'd heard that's what cash machines do, and that's why I was waiting for them, they looked at me as if in disbelief that I could be so naive. Complete myth, they said, Someone's lucky day!

    Taking another £100 out made me think how much stuff I do whilst in dreamland, leaving a lot of it to what I thought was my trusty auto-pilot.

    Apparently the cleaners haven't been doing a good enough job, so she's taken it into her head to set about cleaning the bookshelves in my office.

    It'll take weeks before I get everything back to its ordered disorder.

    I wrote this:

    Code:
    double angle = atan(y2-y1)/(x2-x1);
    And then spent ages trying to hunt down the bug that I was convinced was in the rest of the code.

    True story.

    I went to a funeral today, an aunt-in-law. I and the deceased woman's daughters were chatting to the vicar outside the crem and I piped up with how their mother liked to play "corks", (a game like musical chairs except you had to grab a cork from the table and the person who didn't get one was out), and said she had sharp nails and usually cut someone or other.

    The vicar said "Oh, I must learn to play that" and I said "Yeah, luckily you're safe now." There was an awkward silence until I excused myself.
