    Betcha he has some porn on it tucked away somewhere.

    I once got a contract at a small clientco after a permie there was sacked for being found with borderline kiddie porn on his work laptop. Unbelievable that anyone could be so stupid. (It almost broke his boss's heart as the guy was so useful; the boss was very reluctant to let him go, but his co-workers threatened to walk out if he wasn't sacked.)

    but still a lovely sound.

    Try the first taste of a new homebrew or jam after maturing, the anticipation as it is repaid with a fine flavour.

    He spends 30 mins pressing buttons swearing, then on phone to help desk - an hour later he'll finally get setup for the day then proceed to be grumpy with everyone.

    I'm going to try that.

    Nope I'm in touch with any feminine side I can get!

    Seriously I find nowadays I'm calming down, maybe the hair loss is helping with testosterone overload.
