    If I knew what that was I could tell you! Mine is a Susuki WagonR Plus in sunshine yellow and I love it dearly...My third Susuki and I would love another but they don't make them any more and the few on sale are nearly as old sadly.

    I see RTE are pedalling their new spin-off show Bridget and Eamonn to be aired next week. Between that, the terrible christmas scheduling that included the Al Porter Show, Panti Bliss and over-saturation of Mrs.Browns Boys, their turning a blind eye to the "questionable" interviewing techniques of Tubridy and Darcy, and the general hames they made to Rebellion, they really are justification for paying the licence fee.

    This sort of thing: We require for the PQQ submission the following: Three (3) signed hard copies (One (1) original and two (2) copies) and two (2) CDs

    Is it really necessary to follow each use of the word for a number by its numeral equivalent? What the hell can "three" mean other than 3, the number?!?

    Had a couple of hours to kill yesterday in central London so plumped for the London Eye.

    £23.50 for a 15/20 minute rotation on the eye. no way it's worth that.

    Any of the Merlin stuff in central London is a complete and utter ripoff. No point at all unless you have the Merlin pass or the multiple attraction tickets.

    Was in early this morning to do a software deployment and I am hitting the afternoon wall so hard right now...

    You'll be very lucky to get insurance on a 15 year old car these days. There was a thread on it. I will try to find it

    Yep, the whole ticket buying process was basically lots of in your face ads stating that the more you spent, the more you saved!!!

    F*c* O*f

    People who don't drink but go on nights out and silently judge everyone for drinking all night.

    Yeah, they're tools. But it's also a písser when you aren't drinking on a night out but get attitude from people just because you're not drinking.

    Similarly, when in a group there is only one or two non-smokers who accompany the smokers out to the smoking area because they do not want to sit alone inside then complain when a bit of smoke gets blown in their face or gets on their clothes etc.

    Microsoft Windows Progress bars - that shoot so quickly up to around 60% that you think there is no reason to go and set about another task.

    But then 60 to 100% takes an absolute AGE. But each time you think about doing something else it jumps forward 4 or 5% so you sit and wait.

    And in the end 45 minute later it finishes - time during which you could have actually achieved something else worthwhile.

    The way Microsoft products manage to impede progress in all sorts of subtle and not-so-subtle ways is actually fiendishly and intriguingly clever. :pac::pac::pac:

    Indeed. I quite liked Fedora until some Segway-riding twit fucked it up with this "systemd" cockology.

    I have literally zero motivation for life at the moment. Actually none.
    Getting up is a chore. Work is a punishment. I just feel empty of everything.. Mostly of energy and motivation.
    I still haven't recovered from the Christmas period yet. It kills me every year, but this one has been the worst in memory which is ironic as it was the one with the least financial hardship for a while.

    I'm pretty good at giving advice but pretty bad at following it.
    Especially if it's mine.
