    If I was using a computer, that would be relevant.

    Pressed backspace for too long on the touch screen keyboard on my phone, left a .htm extension rather than a .html. if only there was some kind of redirect that a web server could do to fix such silly errors, you'd get a much better user experience.

    I missed the 'l' off the link but have fixed it now.

    Your results will differ.......

If I share information, it's because I think it might interest you. If you already knew, never mind. No need to be rude. You'll just put people off being so generous with what they know and the world will darken a little as more gems go unshared.

    "Keep up at the back",
    You keep getting my back up.
    Pipe down in front, please!

    KUATB is an abbreviation for "Keep up at the back"

    KUATB means keep up at the back

    Definition of KUATB: "Keep up at the back"

    KUATB is defined as "Keep up at the back"

    Yeah, quite pathetic.

    There was a crew that were stealing fruit machines by picking them up and walking them out of the door of crowded bars.

    Late on a Friday/Saturday they'd easy make that hitting just one pub.
