      Go for something cheaper like a disposal experience. Bet there's a queue for that!

    Aren't dogs odd creatures. You shove two fingers down it's throat twice (worming pills), and you'd think it wouldn't come anywhere near you again for a while. But here he is fast asleep in my study.

      There are only two ways my dog will swallow a worming tablet, either it gets pushed down or it gets hidden in Wensleydale cheese.

    bit or a 'mare today, went into the office, connected laptop to network "computer not trusted by domain", sorted that out and then "account locked" all day long. IT can't find out why, and why it's different from when I connect from home. Result complete waste of a day.

    On dear, wife had just spent all evening trying to get Olympic tickets for the family, only to find we don't have a visa card between us... I guess that's my fault :-(

    I *hate* scanning. Pepper's dog hairs aren't helping either!

  12. richard_t

    Sigh, .Net, WPF, localisation and an extra s in a filename - how to waste a couple of hours!

  13. richard_t

    Going to Kettering with cheque book tomorrow - goody!

    I love work's network. It must be quicker to post the bytes to some of our servers.

      Ours is equally as bad, it's about a quarter of the speed it was since we upgraded to a fibre optic connection.

    Going to Bracknell tomorrow. Lets see if my stupid "traffic aware" satnav will still take me via the M25, when the A4010 is easier/quicker/etc...

    The snow has started!
