My old Lenovo tablet has the USB port upside down on the plug, and consequently, the micro USB also plugs into the tablet upside down. And for some reason, stupid thing always breaks the little notches on the micro USB, so you have to position everything in a way so that it won't slide out while charging.

I'm 39 and my hips are already gone and I have trigger thumb.

Clyde Loakes, the councillor who led the introduction of the schemes, faced numerous threats to his safety. “There were some pretty hairy interviews with the police about some of the stuff that was coming my way,” he recalled.

Freaking heck. Let me guess, they were all drivers getting butthurt.

Walthamstow isn't too far from my area, I'd love to see it expand here. I'm so sick of the Chelsea tractors.

I have three yahoo email accounts I still use, the oldest from about 1997 and surprisingly, the spam folder on that one rarely gets anything. (The other two are leftovers from when you had to get a yahoo account to make a geocities site). I really like the disposable addresses. Luckily I signed up back when you could have 10 on one of them. Then they ditched it for free users, but brought it back with the three limit. But I got to keep my 10.

Excite was my jam though. I was sad when I lost my excite accounts.

I just had a colleague mock me (good naturedly) the other day for having an android phone. I just laughed and said, I'm no fan of Google but at least I can install what I want on here. That was the end of it, haha.

The company I work for insists on almost every damn bit of stock arriving in delivery to be wrapped in a plastic bag. I've complained to management, they just laugh. Apparently I can't have any contact details for head office (not surprising since I'm not even allowed to contact HR directly and have to talk to them via a store manager). That's like 1000+ items coming in twice a week where almost all of it is individually wrapped in a bag.

Not only is it a pointless waste of plastic, but it doubles how long it takes to clear the stock as I have to take everything out of the bag (which is sealed both ends a lot of the time) instead of just putting it straight onto the shelves. I'm almost tempted to set up a twitter account so I can @ them. Almost, but not quite.

My previous employer did the same thing, but at least we had a way to talk to head office and a bunch of us complained so they did remove most of the plastic and started to use a band of paper to hold stock together, or a paper wrapper to protect delicate stuff. They went bust though.

I have a copy!

The novelisation also has all the Biggs scenes and tells us Luke had a puppy as a child.

It also implies that the moisture farmers didn't just harvest water, they actually used that water for farming crops (was it hydroponics? It's been a while since I read it).

Yes. I rarely print documents, but as a hobby arts and crafter, I do print of lot of stuff for my projects. Screw inkjets, but they do have a really high resolution in photo mode, which is the only reason I haven't ditched my nightmare printer for a laser yet.

I got it on steam for £8.32 not too long ago (including all the DLC bundled). Even as a casual gamer, I'm enjoying it ( though I kinda suck at it). Definitely don't regret buying it.

If you got one question wrong in Bamboozle, you had to start all the way from the beginning.
