Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

It's the fact that they used the term at all in a CV that appals me, not whether it's mathematically correct or not. Anyway, I looked up Gen Y (aka Millenials) and it is generally accepted to be the...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

When I'm working at my computer with the headset on, every time I take a sip of tea or water I wonder what would happen if the mike dipped into my mug. Instant electrocution?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

Your knife made me turn to my office shelf and take down a couple of my most treasured possessions: my late grandfather's WW2 service knife and his REME Tam O'Shanter (hat). He was a great man.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread

I only asked because I've always known this just as a "pulley"... that's all they were ever called. We have one in our new (old) flat, and when a friend from London came up to visit this weekend he...

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
