Yes, I really want my friend

Yes, I really want my friend to be a laptop. Or something like that.

You're right Llew: Sake is

You're right Llew:

Sake is also referred to in English as "Japanese rice wine," but the characterisation implied is not accurate. Wine is made from the single fermentation of plant juices (other than sparkling wine, which can be a double fermentation to create the carbonation). Sake is produced by multiple fermentation of rice, which is similar to the way beer is produced.

I believe that technically, sake is a beer too.

Besides, I've got sick of having to sit in a corner using it as a desktop, when I really want it to be a proper laptop. You mean your friend, right?

I have always wondered how fish can type and have the good sense to be reading this website...

That's pretty much what I (I mean, the hypothetical owner) had been doing for the last 6 months, using a borrowed monitor. But that's got to go back, and fixing the screen is probably cheaper than a decent monitor. Besides, I've got sick of having to sit in a corner using it as a desktop, when I really want it to be a proper laptop. Ta anyway.

I remember some comedian

I remember some comedian saying that he liked to use swear words as the answer to those questions, so when the helpline operator said "...and what's your pet's name?" you get to say "you're a cock-sucking motherfucker"

I'm liking the snapper, although the tag off is sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Huh? What they need to do next is enable the auto-topup function so if your balance drops below $5 or so it automatically debits your CC. That would be incredibly useful, I always forget to buy bus tickets. Robyn: I hope they raise all cash fares to around $5 to force people to use the Snapper. It's incredibly frustrating to watch one moron after another count out their 10 cent coins or expect change from a 20 when you are late for work! I was a regular bus user in London where cash fares were significantly higher than Oyster fares. The buses were SO MUCH faster at bus stops, as almost everyone used Oyster. Bring on the cashless society!

Yeah, they're early this

Yeah, they're early this year - although some bloom more than once. The big mag down by the duck pond was not only in full bloom the day before yesterday, but also shed most of its flowers several months early in the storm. A whole season in one day.
