You, sir, are a bar steward! I've finally started to shift some of fat that I've accumulated in the past 18 months of sitting on my backside at work and you come up with an extraordinarily tempting offer.

Take them into work and share? That's what I did with the bubbly gum. The majority of them are here but it's not the sort of thing you go nuts on :)

My god how kylie's aged. Not that i want to be disparaging about it as she looks great and I'm not someone who thinks everyone has to look young, but it's just a real surprise.

What happens if you give a thousand Motorola Zoom tablet PCs to Ethiopian kids who have never even seen a printed word? Within five months, they'll start teaching themselves English while circumventing the security on your OS to customize settings and activate disabled hardware.

I can feel some baking coming on at the weekend. Carrot cake with cream cheese and Mocha with coffee buttercream cupcakes both with handmade sugarcraft decorations (not bought this time like the roses).

Very interesting! I was going to say something about monkeys and typewriters, but that could be misconstrued as something hugely racist - instead I'll play safe and say that I think it's human nature to want to open locks and see what's behind the curtain, and if you give enough of these machines to enough people, things start being figured out.
We have a lecturer who grew up in a Ghanaian village that didn't have electricity. He moved here 12 years ago and teaches Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro and various other media packages. :D

Does that mean we will soon get much more professional looking scams? ;)
