I do, when I'm travelling. It's a crappy little thing but fine for email etc and has the benefit of being very small and light (about 2lbs). For everything else, I stick to my PC and 27" monitor.

I use my cellphone to make calls and send texts. I don't bother with else it might be able to do because I am an adult.

No, I'm not. I loathe being photographed. I berate people for taking pics of me.

Sometimes quite aggressively (verbally, not physically).

I don't look like that. My hair is light grey and my eyes are grey/bloodshot.

I'll admit to owning a Tux, although I have not worn it in years.

It wasn't just the physical resemblance but something about your bearing and diction that prompted she, who also hates to be photographed, to ejaculate "Stevens!". Nailed, bang to rights, etc.

No, I merely recalled his assertion of your resemblance to Mr Hopkins in that particular role.

For the sake of balance, here's dbd. (Complete with horse):

My horse does look disturbingly like that (without all the leveraged gubbins).

If you mean the exchange concerning a beverage serving establishment that's not another side, that's the side many posters know well!

Sears has significant doubt over the companies future. They don't expect to have sufficient cash flow to meet it's obligations over the next 12 months.

Sears Canada says there is 'significant doubt' about its future, ponders sale | CTV News


I am surprised they have lasted this long, was in a store last winter and it was the most disorganized mess I have ever seen in a store and their stock looked old, shirts that were faded and boxes covered in dust, empty jewelry and perfume counters with nothing in them.

I am surprised any of these sort of standard department stores have lasted, every one I have gone into in the last couple of years looks like it is closing down even though it hasn't been. :thumbdown:

I think the only ones that will survive are the ones that are a little different, like Nordstrom and Saks 5th Ave. Although not as different as Bobby's of Bognor ;)

I didn't see that I had duplicated the post on my phone until I saw it on my iPad and therefore thought that the pair of you were bonkers...I still do but can see reason in the madness.
:thumbup:

This made me chuckle.... Guess which pair I was thinking of when I saw this on Nutek's funny thread ....

Cheers Nutek:thumbup: Not that he will be looking on this forum
