    Er... if you're eating insect, how do you, um, (how to put this politely?) evacuate the insects bowels so you're not eating insect excrement?

    Yuk!

    Are you using it clothed or naked?

    Today I have been mostly spinning my wheels, plus doing paperwork.

    Example: I wanted a time-sheet application that allows me to record what I'm actually doing when I'm working. Would have thought that would be an easy one... but nope.

    Took me ages to find one that worked the way I wanted it to.

    (yes... sounds a bit anorakey )

    PN did you try plugging a phone in when you found the connector inside the BT box?


    You can safely fiddle around with these. The voltage is far too low to hurt you. 18v iirc.

    I saw some when I was strolling round Home Bargains, seeing what they had in there last week .... I have thought of getting one as I seem to have a single fly going up and down under the centre of the living room about 3-4x a day.

    I plugged the dual-socket in (the one that plugs into the wall, then has a hole for broadband and a hole for the phone. As I was struggling to fix the plate back to the wall, and pondering taking it apart again "later", the phone rang and I was told an engineer's coming, so I left it.

    There seems to have been some for years, targetted at solicitors etc, who might get interrupted by a phone call while in the middle of reading a big document.... but, as you say, they all promise the earth, but then never work how you wanted them.

    Extreme levels of accuracy are available with some missiles. Extreme.


    I have learnt amazing intelligent, reasonable people behave oddly over the Israel /gaga situation and discussion about it. Its one of the very rare times I don't comment. But, very few reflect well. Its a great big mess and not many people should feel that proud I think.

    Let's be frank. It's an unholy mess in the holy land. Kafka could not have dreamt it up.

    Forget about putting the plate back. What happens if you plug a phone into the master socket behind the plate?

    This is one of those occasions when a photo would be worth 1000 words.
