Why do I find it so impossible to see typos on the screen? As soon as I print something out the typos leap out at me with big flashing lights; shouting "Here I am! Here I am!".

Why am I incapable of typing the word "the"? It always initially comes out as "teh". I think the keys must be on an awkward place on the keyboard...

with both of those!

So there I was yesterday, purchasing a Dutch Hoe attachment thingy for my multi-garden tool...and what was next to it on the shelf but a Pushpull weeder. If I buy, does it mean Pushpull comes round and do the weeding for me? (I dunno, taught me all about how to use left and right thingies on my bicycle, comes round and tidies the onion patch, there's no end to his usefulness)

I have the same thing, I'm sure it is a problem with the printer... It seems to change some of the letters and miss out full stops etc.

Why am I incapable of typing the word "the"? It always initially comes out as "teh". I think the keys must be on an awkward place on the keyboard...

Yes, my screen also quite likes teh.

Also places where people live are called twons. I can never work out why - I've never called them that!
Certain keyboard instruments are painos.
And my pal Laura is known by my computer as Luara.

I have the same problem with the word 'the'. I have it programmed into Word so that it Auto corrects it

We've run out of tea today.

That is terrible. What an awful thing to happen.
Quick, run to the shops.

wow random threads huh? well im an oboist hows that for random

I bought a Wallace and Gromit Graphic Novel (cartoon book) today just because it had the word 'whippet' on the cover and I have three (live) whippets.



(It's called 'The Whippet Vanishes' if anyone's interested, and the whippet looks like one of the chickens from Chicken Run )

I love Nick Park.

Hoe hoe hoe.

I have it with Regards coming out as Regrads at the end of e-mails - every time.

I thought it was just me. I quite like the word regrads now (actually it came out as regards when I first typed it just then ). We need to come up with a meaning for it. Actually do a Google for it. I think you'll find lots of people make the same mistake.

The becomes teh with me too. I also seem to have 2 capitals at the start of names..........BEverley and so on.

'other' (or rather 'toher' or 'toehr') keeps catching me out.

I can't type 'hotmail' properly at the moment. (htoamil)

I also find it impossible to type 'record' without going on autopilot and adding and extra 'er' at the end.

ah, no, it's ohter

My worst one is I type 'form' instead of 'from'. Also in the Musical Horses thread I keep typing 'outsdier'

Hmm... Shall I wear a black or white tank top tonight? I'm wearing a denim skirt (short), tan tights, and black dance shoes, and I need to look simultaneously casual, for during the show, and dressy for the aftershow party.
Any advice welcomed.

Black

Black, to tie in the shoes.

Black. (unless it will make you look really pale and washed out).

I did wear black. Thanks!

More National Distress for me today

Car Expert

Well it's a bit complicated, but basically what's happened is that a vehicle has striked a bridge near one of the stations, so the train I was meant to get into college has been cancelled. The train I hope to get now is currently 30 minutes late, but whether it goes past the station with the bridge problems is another matter. So now I'm stuck at home with no idea whether I'll be able to go into college or not today. Three other college students offered for me to go in a taxi with them but they could only fit three people in it, so I was left out. I could drive but I haven't got enough petrol and I originally planned to fill it up at the weekend, plus if I drive in, parking is going to be a problem. What it means is that I've now lost valuable time with Music Tech coursework and it's going to be hard to make up that time between now and next Friday when it's all got to be done...

Poor CE . Do hope things sort out ok..

cheese.

I've just had to climb through a load of scaffolding to get out of the department. Security locked a door which was supposed to be left unlocked, and they therefore left me in an office at the top of a stairwell full of scaffolding with the access to the alternative stairs blocked by the locked door. There was one very scary moment when the ladder above me moved as if it was about to fall...


I can help you if you want.

But are you sure it's really what you want to do?

PM if you want to chat - I've cleared a space in my inbox specially for you.

"It is with regret that I feel I am unable to continue in my position as ....(your job).. and wish to tender my resignation with effect from ..."

is the sort of thing. If you want to pm me with a bit more detail I will happily pad it out a bit - but that's the gist of it.

you're fired...

yes, it's that time of the week again...

Aww missed it!

Time for you to go to iPlayer I think DC...

Indeed! Thanks.

Or watch it on Saturday night after the snooker Thanks! I wasn't able to go in the end, but I managed to get some work done this afternoon, and have managed to get both composition scores done today, so that's one major obstacle out of the way. Probably having the day off actually helped as I probably wouldn't have decided to come in and do some work this afternoon in the first place

Yes, that might be the better option.

The water from all the hot water taps is a horrible brown colour, eew

Time for a call to the water board, I guess...

I'm going to get lunch from M & S to cheer myself up

My violin is on its way to me.

Why is the planet on full panic over this flu thing?

I just spent all afternoon curling my hair, but I'm not going out or anything, and probably no one will see it...
Which might be a good thing, since it's all flat at the top, near the back.

I don't know. Surely the mexicans are all dying because they don't have enough hospitals, but we do so we should be OK. I have a friend who has been sneezing all day. She told people to stay away from her because it might be this flu thing.

I'm fed up with feeling so ###### ill all the time.

But I'm not meant to complain.

I'm fed up of it too...

Good to hear you're working hard, as ever!


Poor you. Hope you feel better soon.

But of course I'm working hard. *Smiles angelically*

Miss R, I hope you feel better soon too.
