Not even a 10th of an inch of precip and already my ISP is down.
Thank goodness for my mobile phone.
ISP stands for intermittent service provider where I live.

If they just stopped letting cats drive it would reduce that too. I'm always having to tell my moggies to slow down on the bends when I let them take the car out into the countryside.

Like it or not there is a CAT in pretty much every car these days and even on some bikes, and car drivers are warned not to park on dry grass because their CAT may start a fire LOL

Wife works from home - Graphic designer.

Never a great day when you get a phone call, and she says her Mac has simply died.
She phoned support and they say it sounds like the design board. Which would cost more than a new computer.
She then tells me she has just bought a new computer.. Oh well £2+ grand skinter. Ouch.

Still better than the phone call I got from her in Oct.

My phone number is written on mine. I've dropped it twice and got a call the same day asking how I would like it returned. Once was a face to face at my station, the other a kind lady posted it to work and I sent her chocolates.
