A quiet smile
A case in point. A work mate brings his latest purchase into the welfare room.
Effectively ripping the box asunder he then meticulously went through the contents.
Purchased item - placed carefully on the table. Packing - on the floor for the bin.
The instructions - looked at with that "um should I or shouldn't I " thing that blokes do. After a moments consideration it was casual thrown on to said table, alongside the product.
The International Guarantee - floor.
The recommended accessories leaflet - floor.
In fact pretty much everything else hits the floor.
The fact is, every bloke I know would have done exactly the same.

Am thinking ....
And fat fingers can't spell (like the rest of me)
Have forgotten a couple of errands this evening, which I must do tomorrow.
The main reason for this missive is my "conclusion " that I will have to stop using Google + I don't really use it. Its not that straight forward to use, certainly not as straight forward as, say, Twitter or Facebook.
I can't use my normal "lazy " methods of posting, you actually have to log into the site. No Hellotxt, not emails - nothing.
And, the biggest thin is that, other than a couple of friends, I know no one that uses it.email

Jinggly noises
For the second time in the past few days, I have woken up to the tinny tinkle of some electronic device or other. I don't know about anyone else but I have always tries to turn off these "sounds " if I can.
What confuses me is the level of tinniness. You now have HD screens with stero sound. You can enjoy high quality films and music tracks - but the start up tune is still tinny. And it really annoys me.
Never mind, I will turn on my high quality HD TV and watch the news in high quality surround sound.
