Yep. So off you go, dip your toe in the water and see what happens.

SY01,

Do you now see why some of us want TPD back?

Did anybody here watch British Families: Money on BBC 2 last night? They interviewed those 50+ hour a week folks earning big bucks, material obsession, I thought he looks like someone approaching retirement. Turned out he was in his mid-twenties

To sum it up, it's all Thatcher fault...

Working from home. Running the workshop successfully, until the brand new £160 Cisco Linksys router crashed, thus ending the workshop.

There's your problem. Try to avoid using brand new expensive kit for something critical.

Give it time to get over teething problems first. AKA testing it thoroughly first.

Funnily enough, it does have an external interface to Tom-Tom...

I posted here whilst sat in the ski lift the other day.

It felt ever so clever.

The ski-lift that is. Carries on working even though there're all those people using it, constantly.

I'm not sure we should let him in to TPD, he'll only break it

I have time to rant on here, while I wait for the router to reboot.

Just out of interest, how are you posting on here while the router is rebooting?

Ah. So you're in work.

At lunchtime buy a sandwich, then go out and keep your eyes on the ground. See if you can find 2 or 3 woodlice. Gather them up and when you go back, remove the ball from someone's mouse, put some butter/marge from the sandwich on the rollers, pop the woodlice in and put the ball back. (I only suggest woodlice because most people would have trouble doing this with the proper creature: a slug.)

Piss in the coffee machine.

Fill your bag with stolen stationery.

Am I the only person who thinks this is mean on the woodlice
Unless you meant get ones that were already dead..
