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

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

    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.

    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

    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..
