They need a new photocopier? Did you break it? Whose they? Have they dealt with you before? And they let you mess with their photocopier? What does that say about them?
:))))
Well exactly... not a lot. I wasn't even anywhere near it at the time. Obviously it was within range of my eyes, because I saw my birth certificate get plonked on the glass, a button get pressed, and it turning red instead of green, and that being pressed again several times and by several people in the belief they could make it go green before things turned suddenly a lot more proactive and there was a flash accompanied by an exotic sort of, dulled, exploding-pop with pungent emanation and it was inconveniently, stone dead.

All those pictures of cats lazing in the sun are just their way of tricking you into taking them in and feeding them. I once got a cat because the previous human complained he was too rambunctious. He wasn't any more of a hell-raiser than my other cats. She'd been mislead by his soft fur and well practiced "help me" face.
I took one in that did that, and then was going to be thrown off the top of a tower block when they realized they'd been duped. There have been times when I could almost understand why. He truly is the most destructive animal I've ever shared a home with. He hunts shadows, helicopters, and every light flash, strips wallpaper, demolishes curtains and blinds and worships the gas-grill god with a single-mindedness that requires extinguishing his whiskers from time to time which is when he threatens to ignite his tail instead. He also has this knack of squarely finding your face with his back paws when launching himself to the bedroom window ledge where he likes to yowl charismatically from.
*Which probably accounts for me missing the arrival of your avatar! :) along with some posts too.
Better luck next time
Thank you, Cecht :) you too too... with that winning thing you think you just did but didn't ;)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

This is an ancient ritual. It is called The Releasing Of The Magic Smoke ceremony, that typically precedes The Going To Get Another One quest.
In The Church Of The Apple they also do The Search For The Slightly Different Power Connector Form Factor crusade. None can say why .....
Cheers, Mike.

Yup I've done that a few times and never liked any of them!! Fixing the things is often more expensive than repairing them but it seems we always seem to go thru the 'check it out to see if it can be fixed' stage first. When I had a 3 story home I would often have two of many things just so I didn't have to go without while going thru that stage. But now that I have a single level home there's alot less storage space and I don't have nearly as many 'spares' anymore. I still of course still have all the usual toiletry spares but printers and things like that are down to the one I'm using. Computer type things are being used up and not replaced as they go bad to whittle down the waaaaaay too many spares I have of waaaaay too many of them. For instance I have a WHOLE tub of computer fans as I took apart older pc's and kept the working ones.

Yes - you've heard of it!? :) I particularly appreciated the dispassionate objectivity of the: "Y-e-e-e-a-h... I'd say that's f****d" Guru who broke the reverent silence afterwards.
edit: I've been having a long mull.

I am winning!!!

I'm so glad ya'll have such confidence in winning the thread. Confidence is important to succeed in any endeavor, especially one with such astronomical odds of success. Of course, it's not the only important thing you need to win.

Ooooohhh does that mean there is something else involved too?
I thought I'd come in and bore you with my morning...
but then I thought, why just the morning...?
*watch everyone leave* works every time...
I confidently set off to view the moon at 4.30 this morning. With a camera. Only to find I didn't because it had rambled into the one part of the horizon that, from my house, is completely obscured by concrete hulks unless you take a long uphill walk north, or a longer downhill walk in an opposite direction to that (which weirdly is more east than tradition would put it), or a flat, middle-distance walk west, in a direction around a corner that can most definitely be recommended at night if you specifically want trouble. Which is how I came to get only a little bit uphill before I remembered why I'd done nothing at all all weekend, and went home to keep on doing that, and won this thread.
edit: So you know... yay me... :)

It's all about who you know. Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you.
Ideas are not fixed, nor should they be; we live in model-dependent reality.
