Create Tomorrow they say, tomorrows what? Presumably Tomorrows poor?

Jeez you guys

There is an entirely innocent explanation for all of this......

She banged didn't bang her head after not being dropped of at a restaurant. Just at the moment she thought she had banged her head there was a buildup of carbon monoxide. This rendered her unconscious and maybe dead. This chap did what we all would do. ALL OF US. And that is slightly dismember her whilst watching dismemberment videos. Scuppering the submarine and then forgetting this took place when asked and then slowly remembering what occurred due to terrible shock.

On a clients site I almost fell out of a second story building window (double fire door) that could be opened fully to allow a loader to push a pallet into a server room. I still don't know why it had a push bar on it.

The first I have ever said this

Cake is not the solution

The thing I don't get is why we should believe this reprehensible snake.

That is quite saddening

The Misco catalogue was always the argos catalogue for IT workers.

Sad times to see them go the way of Tandy

Still at least there is Maplins

Leaf it alone Microsoft, haven't you twigged that no one really needs to branch out to this kind of meeting venue.

Hype errr loopy

This is not the next big thing.

Twitter is Mos Eisley

A hive of scum and villainy.

All that is missing is the Bith tootling away whilst Max Rebo gets the boogie on.

I was expecting a tie in the cutters sort of scenario - didn't guess the decoy bit. Although Simon was being quite accommodating.

Frodo took one look at this and thought - yep, happy to chuck that.

I really enjoy my apple products - my iPhone is my link to the world when I am away from home. The 8 is as advertised. A fast, battery sparing and sleek designed phone. It's familiar enough to be like all the other iPhones I have owned. It takes beautiful looking pictures and is rather jolly nice.

Now I could of hung on until the X but here is why I didn't. The sacrifice of the home button for facetech or whatever they are calling it is a step too far. It is untested. Maybe once it has done a couple of years and is proven I will feel different, but right now it is just too much.

It looks just like a nasty Sony Xperia

I always go for an early 10am showing - less people

Gone are the days when i need to see it first. Hell, i am even willing to wait for it on streaming sites.

After all the years of live feeds and videos of these awesome folk in space I am still in awe.

What is needed is a massive sieve!

The first thing that anyone with a work laptop should be told is - Any data on this device is ours.

This is utterly pointless

And yet I simply must have this!

What is they say about a fool and his money?

Oh yeah, a fool and his money sits in my chair frittering it away on Greggs pasties, scratch cards and weird items from Wish.

OK - Aside from the fact that this story first hit the guardian two months ago...

The most diabetic person I know has told me she thinks this is a great idea, however she has also mentioned that it would take her months to decide on a design.

I also showed her the wearable tech from Libre and she almost cried. With laughter I should say, the super expensive Libre sensor looks fugly. Whilst a tattoo could look sleek, even sexy the placement would have to be limited basically to the arms. It is a leap forward but limited.

I wonder if Simon has stolen the PFY's boots

I once lost out on a role because of a diversity hire.

As I knew the interviewer through LinkedIn I asked if there was anything that I could of done to secure the role. He suggested (jokingly) that if I turned homosexual and lost a leg then I would be in a great place for this role.

I understand why positive discrimination exists but don't agree it should be the only reason to hire someone.

Fortunately these days I tick a couple more boxes as I am bald/ginger and northern.

This seems to be a double win for painters and decorators.

They get to be popular whilst people huddle around their paint splattered FM radio and tout for business at the same time.

I can't see the allure of having to grow potatoes in my own shit.

A bank that can't count?

I think I wan't to withdraw!

Trump is a man baby

Actually no, scratch that as babies are cute.

The fact that he spews such utter horse and expects people to kiss up to him shows what kind of person he is. A senile old idiot. What a dick!

If you can't troll someone in 140 characters then you are a rubbish troll.

It is never gonna happen.

If Dyson can make it as modular as his vacuum cleaners then he might be able to flog a few of them.

Of course if he makes them as expensive as his vacuum cleaners then he might not.

Trumplethinskin is a douche - who needs 140 characters?

Openreach - I often wonder what they actually do.

For the last three years my exchange has been in scope for fibre, we actually thought they made progress as the equipment is now in the exchange. The only problem is we don't have a cabinet. All 500 homes and businesses connect directly to the exchange.

I now need to change my supplier, but with no company having LLU I am stuck. All I want is fast and reliable, something that Openreach clearly isn't.

These will be useless in Newcastle!
