They never quite quantified exactly how many unknown germs there were,
nor what they meant my unknown. Maybe it wasz just 'not known by some
bod at Domestos', i.e. 99% of all germs known by proper scientists.

I have just, finally, given the bedroom ceiling its first coat of
paint. In the process I tipped the roller tray down my front. I hate
painting ceilings.
In about 4 hours I shall hate it all over again when I do the second
coat. Then I shall move the furniture back in, so I can go to bed. And
eventually I shall get around to obtaining the paint for the walls.
But first I think I'll have another shower to try to remove the coat
of paint on my skin...

I can highly recommend one of those electric roller thingies as seen in
B&Q (or similar). True, you'll only use it once as the paint will
inevitably set like concrete in the feeder tube the first time you leave
it overnight, but as a time-saver, it's almost useful. OTOH, instead of
spilling a mere tray of paint, you get to spill the whole can.

I'm sure they use the same stuff that sticks cathairs to clothes in
paint. It's just as difficult to remove...

Hah. For the walls I think I'll revert using a brush. This spattering
business is a nightmare, and while the roller is happy to roll on the
walls, it doesn't want to roll on the tray, so I get a lot of paint
round one side of the roller and hardly any on the other. As for the
fact that the roller sleeve manages slowly to come off the spindle it's
all becoming more of a nightmare than it's worth.

And there's another thing. Brand new can of paint. So how come, when I
opened it, there was a feckin cat hair in it?

Y'see, proves my theory. Obviously paint factories are full of shaved
moggies (well, I couldn't really say pussies, could I?), and since the
first law of cathairs is they get everywhere, including where it's
physically impossible, etc.

Is it true you have sofas and soft toilet paper?
I heard many a story and one or two posts about gals who couldn't be arsed
to queue for the ladies and popped into the gents instead.
Good Luck, matey!
I wish I had the guts to use the ladies. Perhaps one day I'll jump the queue
with a casual "I'm not pissing in *that* shithole!" then go and use one of
the sinks.

I have a leather armchair and recycled toilet paper. Oh! Hang on, you
don't mean me personally, do you. Yes, some ladies' loos have sofas,
soft toilet paper, soap and hand towels. But very few indeed have huge
mirrors in the actual cubicles.

I've seen it happen plenty of times. Makes it interesting having girls in
the gents queueing for the single cubicle with no seat and no paper. If the
girls could find a way of using the urinals.....

I don't think she needs to be told this. She's using it because she likes
it. Someone else is trying to tell her it's crap and she should use a
better newsreader because she complained that posts no quoted text were
hard to understand through lack of context. That someone else is clearly
bonkers, but I dunno how one would convince them of this.

Hmm. Yes, it might suggest that you have little experience that's true.
Perhaps if you leave out the word 'sheep' in your discussion/s.

Lots of experience with sheep, though.

Would anything worthwhile be left?

Did you know they've released it as freeware now? Microplanet decided to
give up developing it so they removed the registration requirement as well.

I like it, although it's butt-ugly. According to a local beta-tester, v6
has a new gui.

Shit. Have you told The Register about this scoop? 'Man pays for
shareware, WinZip representative stamps his feet and mutters'.

Wouldn't I have to pay for Turnpike? It seems a bit daft when there
are so many free newsreaders around.

Cursor at top: encourages top-posting
Cursor at bottom: emcourages non-snipping

If I understand it correctly [?!] - yes after a month, unless you are a
Demon customer.

I agree, but I suppose if you are that keen then the cost isn't
necessarily the crux.
Scrolling down endless posts in OE doesn't look comfortable to me as I
like TP popping the 'next unread' post into a full screen display.
Whether I would pay for the privilege nowadays however, hmm I dunno,
unlikely - being as poor as a church mouse at the moment. Cutting
cloth.

The new GUI is luvverly. An Explorer shell extension, like the recent
versions of WS-FTP. You lose the ability to throw things all over the
screen - which was kinda nice, since you could put all the important
stuff in the top left, the fun stuff in the top right or whatever - but
it's still luvverly.
(Currently running Beta 4, and I've been using it since the Alpha test.)

I can pick up many free newspapers, but people still pay for some.
