Yeah well I knew that bit, like, duh! but in the past I would have happily written: "This complimentary chilli sauce really compliments the chicken". :x :roll: Or maybe I knew it in the past and I'm getting dumber! :o :shock:

That thin windows/external walls in a certain Houston hotel let in a lot of noise.
I found that out at 02:40 this morning when some jerk started playing music outside.
I was woken up by Highway To The Dangerzone. The 80's music fest went on until 05:30.

Mate, next time Tom Cruise is out in the car park with his windows down and his system up, take a shot gun to it. It's the US. Nobody'll notice.

Ooh, DP, but meh.
I learnt today that the site blocker at work finds the x404 forums offensive.
So I'll not be on much at work.

Really?

All the work firewalls I've seen seem to block most "social networking" (etc) sites, but they let X404 through.
I guess it's so small it hasn't shown up on their radar yet.

I've used iTunes for ages, and had an iPod for several years now, but until yesterday I didn't realise star ratings I gave to tracks on the Pod fed back into iTunes. I'm sure it didn't used to do that. :oops:

Let me know what site blocker it is & I'll get us added to the safe list.

We're on most content filters. I get us added as a safe category (quite handy having business relationships with most proper content filtering providers)

No, it wasn't the Rachel Riley thread.

It could be the iPad 2 thread. I am posting details of my iPad order delivery. Maybe Timark has registered it as Offensive and Pornographic? ;)
