Vendy:"Perhaps you should have a facial mask".
Me:"Why should I? My Mum says I'm a as handsome as a prince!"
Vendy:"All mothers say that, to avoid hurting your feelings ugly".
Me:*Bursts into tears*
Me:"Allright I'll take a facial mask, a razor, a box of tampons, and a coke"

Comment Portable solar panels? (Score 1) 81

Back in 1999 or thereabouts on holiday I picked up a hat that had a solar panel on the top, and a fan in the brim that blew onto your face. I thought it was the epitome of personal solar technology. I guess it still is after looking at those pants.

Comment Bye Microsoft office, Hello Open Office (Score 5, Interesting) 233

My computer like a few came with MSO pre-installed. I didn't mind the initial legit check (I still have the licence key) and subsequent download of updates. It's when a few months later it asked, nay, demanded to check again. Later I opened a document and it asked again, and again, and again so on and so forth. An e-mail natter back and forth with someone whose spelling could be better at Microsoft help got me nowhere. "Have you entered the correct licence key?" "Have you un-installed and re-installed, then re-entered the licence key?" There must be something better I thought. So I gave Open Office a try. A free office program? It must be a bit naff, full of bugs I thought. Well I was surprised, I've had no problems with it and it covers all my needs. I haven't looked back since.
