My old home town.

Anyway my grumble. Whilst I love Calibre, and it's really useful, why must the guy create updates on a weekly basis? Can't he save them up for once every three months? It seems like every time I open it up it wants to update.

I just don't update, I'm a rebel like that

I don't either but the window popping up bugs me. I really want a 'fix' so that when I click Alphabetical it actually put them in alphabetical and doesn't throw in a random S name in amongst the As.

Oh, I don't get that one - I'd like it to just bring up the author's works I've asked for when I use an author tag!

(But I do love it)

My main grumble (I have a few, if you'd not noticed) is that I have never seen any 'improvements' after the update so they must be fairly insignificant. It's such a tough life. I wouldn't want to be me.

My water glass is empty but the old man is in the garage so I'm going to have to get up and refill it myself. :sneaky:

Not able to get enough air into my lungs at present to shout. The family seem very happy about that. Bastards!

:lol: Yeah, and if all else fails there's always your hotel the bathroom sink. Thinking about it now, we should have met up this afternoon and I could have got them washed and dried for you at my sister in law's.

Actually, I've not seen a laundromat in Australia yet. :unsure:

This was about 5 years ago- I'm presuming it is still there catering for the needs of the surfer dudes. Can't quite remember where it is tho. Do you have laundry that needs doing?

There is one in Cathedral Street, Woolloomooloo which is nearer to the CBD than Manly.

Just google laundromats in Sydney to find one near where you are staying.

Thanks Caroline, you're reminded me of a minor grumble: No pound signs on Aussie keyboards :sneaky:
