Ok. I wish for an empty bottle of Cognac.
no trick to that, start with a full one, and before you know it, voila, wish fulfilled  :)

Implying anyone who has ever visited this place could learn from past folie.

I tend to get there in the end - whenever that is?

Right now I am enjoying scraping the paint off my hands with the knowledge that they will stay relatively clean for another 2 days.
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

You have to use the TAB + Enter keys and use a lot of guesswork.

Get a cheap graph card from one of the Chinese companies on Ebay, that supports the resolution you want.  Probably only cost £5.

I was out on the common today and had a beer and 2 Brandies.  Now I have just finished dinner and had a glass and a half of Shiraz, I too feel a tad squiffy.

I'm getting ready for work while the call from my bed is deafening. It's hard to ignore.
