    Just back from a week at home out in the sticks and back to the computer for the usual arseing around. Didnt watch much TV, buy any newspapers or anything, just a break with the OH.

    Instead of looking up a news site, I went straight to AH to see what was being discussed over the last few days.

    Boards: Time killer and universal informant :)

    In some cases its much faster,

    I didnt hear about the car ramming incident in Waterford until I came on here, and even then the only news on the Web was from people posting up who had seen it happen.

    Great for running updates and links

    Can backfire though. I saw the the thread titled "Gary Glitter re-arrested" and thought it had really happened, until I discovered it was a joke from the humour forum.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
