Re: Beware Pollsters and their ilk

Where do I sign up to pay my dues to the Grumpy Old Man . org? I am fully qualified in all respects just ask the snotty nosed urchin who's scooter/aluminium thing with stupid wheels is in the canal. Bah Humbug!

Try Google

If you genuinely don't live under a bridge why not do what everyone else here has to do and Google GOSH. May you find enlightenment :-)

You Need A Business Package

@ Andrew 60 - See title. Normally better T&C and much better service, last time I had a business outage there were 2 bods at the door within half a day. Fixed and left me with a direct number of the engineer in case of further problems.

Re: Lunar mining?

Quote of the month "the moon is made mostly of moon rock" gasp!

Correct the correction :-)

Corrections to your pedantic comment: I think you mean Henry the vacuum cleaner. Hoover don't make Henry's. - Nice try but no cigar.

On a related note I am not sure if "Hoover" has now passed the point at which it is interchangeable with "vacuum cleaner", I suspect it is.

Re: Cider!

What does Buckfast count as? - Buckall.

Re: Really ..

How the hell did the USA sink so low ? - From having to chose between someone you hate or someone incompetent. Tough call :-(

Re: Solder Repellant

RS (RS Components) is a very different supplier to Radio Shack.

Re: Meter smarts

No, they are 200% wrong as there are 2 of them thus compounding the error :-)

Re: This weeks name

Most air to air and surface to air Missiles are just that, they are designed to "miss" the target by a close proximity and then explode. lots of stuff flying about at high velocity hitting sensitive bits (lots of these on an aircraft). The only Hitile [sic] that I am aware of is the Rapier surface to air one.

Re: Mac display

Is this referring the dirty mac brigade AKA Flashers or Macintosh Computers? Still trying to figure out why you mention the display?

Re: I hate people

I switch my phone off at night don't you?

Re: But...

That's just the rub they don't say it's better than the previous version, they use words like "better productivity" and "Redesigned screens". They never, ever try and sell it as a better OS... come on it would leave them wide open to all sort of litigation.

Re: Done on purpose

"past" let's not lower ourselves to gutter TV level :-)

Re: Well bugger me...

Takes all sorts, would be good if you didn't advertise your sexual preferences on an open forum :-)

Re: It would be nice to see some tech jobs outside London

Basingstoke, Basingstoke..... Not Basingstoke, really? It'll be Slough next and then where will we be?

Re: Shouting at clouds

@45RPM - "Besides, many celebrities are celebrities because they achieved nothing significant". Fixed that for you.

Re: A never-ending study on how to mess up humans...

Body Suit.... You mean we might finally get proper space suits like these http://tinyurl.com/gvscthm :-)

Re: ASDA?

I was sat here trying to work out how an unbagged raw chicken could contaminate an entire supermarket. Had visions of raw chicken being forced into the fans for the air-con (sorry it's Asda warm air fans). I then realised "shop" meant the box of your goodies. Doh!

Re: news?

It should be news. There should be big bold bright notices in these places that say "Free WiFi use it at your peril!" :-(

Re: Technically challenging stuff.

Please mention Da Boom!!

BOGOF

The females get a special offer :-)

"which" ones.

Re: Hmm...

So it's illegal for a black BMW to have a hand gun. Who would have known!

Re: "researchers modelled the properties of the genitalia"

@DougS - Probably impresses them more than writer for The Register/IT hack.

Re: It was my fault.

It also helps if the string is wet, given the current weather should not be an issue :-)
