A swivel joint at the elbow and it would be perfect, but as it is I love it.

Equally good are transfer cables for an external drive and camera.

Does that take a hdmi output and convert to a DisplayPort monitor? If so do you have a link since I could do with a cable that will go from the hdmi port on my laptop to the DisplayPort connector in the meeting room.

Thanks

Other way round in my case, but I'll post a link to Amazon later - if I forget, PM me!

Went for the three metres (different lengths available) to cover my TV distance, white because I live in a sea of cables... Worth noting that it's Mini DisplayPort? I'm clueless about all that.

A T-Shirt

This t-shirt is a 'shibboleth' in cloth. I want to be friends with anyone who recognises where the logo comes from.

A bit obvious from the description of the T-Shirt... ;)

T-shirts - remember when adult sizes were sensible and not for children? Fcuking sick of that nonsense.


What do you mean?

AFAICS T-Shirt sizes are slowly getting bigger all the time. Most of the time now, even "Small" is too big for me - it certainly wasn't 20 years ago and I've put on a bit of bulk since then. I recently tried on an X-Small T-shirt in a well know high-street shop that was like a small tent on me rather than an item of clothing design to cover the top half of my body.

And don't get me started on trying to find properly fitting jeans with a 28" waist...

All I find, but especially with jackets, is that the sizing isn't made for a traditional bloke at all. Apparently we're all stick thin now. I think they'll find the UK has quite a few fcuking Celts in it if nothing else... How can you call something XXL and a 42"+ chest when it would fit a young teenager?

I even ordered a t-shirt for a girl in work and it was a nonsense too.

It also depends on the cut. Trousers are the worst, even with the same brand.

I take a 38" normal blue jeans, the black jeans in the same line have to be a 40" and the Chinos were a 46" ! WTF!
