My kettle.
Oh Morphy Richards…
Why did you make a kettle
With such fragile hinges that
The very heat of water boiling
In the kettle made them turn to
Soft and squidgy plastic that did shear,
It made me shed a tear.
And why did I then…
www.thankgoditstakeaway.co.uk. What a great idea (assuming you care more for takeaway food than you do your arteries, skin, wallet, waistline and so on).
Here’s a link to the menu for Elachi, the best Indian delivered to your door in the Epping region:
(Chandni Chowk and Zaikaa are arguably better if you like “proper” food, but Chandni Chowk doesn’t do my fave dishes and the restaurant tries too hard to be trendy; Zaikaa’s food and service are excellent, but they don’t deliver).
Was the multitude of patches that came through Windows Update, just a few days ago, really responsible for Windows XP suddenly behaving like a sick dog – mere days before the release of Windows 7?
It would be terribly wrong to make such an accusation. So it’s a good thing I only asked myself that question in a dream I had last night.
I dreamed that Outlook 2003 suddenly took to posting a little taskbar message about rendering the view, when before it happily just rendered it. I dreamed that Internet Explorer, which had previously been merely sluggish at doing pretty much anything, especially when plugins were involved, had become almost catatonic when asked to do something simple (like, y’know, showing me a web page or something). I dreamed that Reaper used to start up in 10 seconds, not 30. I dreamed that startup and shutdown were about 30 seconds quicker, too.
I dreamed many such things. I wonder if they will be true when I wake up?
Classic personalisation from BT
I’m not sure which is worse… the broken field in the welcome message, or “BT Wholesale is a world class enabler of converged network solutions” (this means “BT Wholesale sells network capacity around the world”, by the way).
