What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?

QotD: Trapped in a Lift

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 10:04:06 +0100

Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with? Least like?
(this presumably isn't a glass lift?)
Most like: the two hot doctors off TV - the "Medicine Men Go Wild". or Louis Theroux. or Big Boy - can't forget to include Big Boy (in case he reads this)
Least like: Any of my fellow commuters. I hate the lot of them.

QotD: Best-Seller

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:06:40 +0100

If you were going to write a book, what would you write about?
I'd write about the experience of writing a book. I'd imagine I'm writing a book - really get myself into that 'place' - and then write from the perspective of someone writing it.
I imagine it'd be a fantastic book, and I'd be writing of course of the experience of writing a fantastic book, imagining how well it would be received my its readers. Which'd be my mum, if I'm lucky. Which I wouldn't be, but I'd imagine, while writing, that I am. Very lucky.

QotD: Run Away

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:53:12 +0100

Did you ever run away from home?
Not only did I have no reason to, but I knew it would have been both cruel and stupid.
So no, but look - I am enjoying some rather nice pizza on my too-little-sleep day.

QotD: Touch-Screen Pros & Cons

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 15:16:14 +0100

How could touch–screen technology enhance the way you currently use your PC? How could it make things worse?
It could for those of us who don't want fingerprints all over our screens.

And while I've got your attention, let me tell you about lunch. I've been forced to scrabble through the cupboards today, but unlike Old Mother Hubbard [any relation to L Ron?, Ed.] I've found the following:
One baking potato
One piece of haddock in breadcrumbs
some past their prime and thin on the ground salad ingredients. Still, it's better than getting dressed and going to the local shop for some long-life bread.

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:53:20 +0100

My vice, today, is printing single-sided. or at least it was until someone objected!

Does anyone remember / or know...?

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:51:58 +0100

A while back - maybe two or three years - there was a small feature in what was probably the Guardian or Independent weekend magazines on designer wardrobe doors. I recall that they were predominantly black but also colourful, and were made of resin or some similar substance, and that they were really tall and striking.

I tried to keep the cutting, but clearly not well enough...

Have you any recollection of this kind of thing? or do you know where something like this could be made?

Thanks.

QotD: Planning My Financial Future

nobody@vox.com(Oink (who appreciates fine thighs)) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 15:09:03 +0100

How are you financially planning for your future?
Presented by Intel, Sponsors of Tomorrow.
Well that depends on whether you take the view that the entire world appears to be conspiring against me, or whether in fact I'll end up with a very nice settee in a few months time.
Opaque enough?
