Title: Really Stupid
Post by: Mince on July 20, 2007, 03:46:51 PM
This topic is for all those really stupid things you have done, like walking into the same lamp post more than once.

As a kid, I managed to "stick" two coins to my closed eyes, and thought it so cool that I decided to see what I looked like in the mirror.

I amazed you managed to grow up into such an articulate intellectual.

Actually, I'm just amazed you managed to grow up.

I'll have to have a really good think about this one - so many to choose from. I'll be back.

Can't wait to hear your outpourings

I do hope Tarquin's next post does not include an MP3 recording.

I couldn't get the hole in the wall at Tesco to work until an onlooker pointed out that I could enter my PIN with a finger on the real keyboard rather than poke with a pen at the picture of a keyboard on the screen.

You've lost me on this one, Mincey.


Still thinking...

LOL! I would have loved to have been there.

You can use an MP3 player with a built in microphone to record things as MP3 tracks - anything that can audibly "outpour".

My friend's son gave me a four-mile lift to my home, but I asked him to drop me off just short of home at Tescos because I was hungry. After he left, I realised that I had forgotten my keys, and had to get a taxi back to my friend's house to get them.

Thought you measure time in hours not miles.
Maybe that's were I go wrong.

I got it, Peter - but for those who don't, Mincey originally wrote "four-mile life" in his last post, before sneaking back to correct it, being a teacher an' all. Unfortunately, he still forgot the apostrophe in "Tesco's", but I dare say he'll have fixed that also by the time most of you read this.

This has been a public service announcement on behalf of Peter.

Oh, but you can, Peter. If you look to the top right of each of your own posts, you should see the option to 'Modify'. Click on that and you will be able to edit your own posts.

Hang on - he hasn't denied you that facility, has he?  :o :o :o :o :o

You learn something new every day.
Now if only I could Bring down these Blue boxes that you all seem to do I might get a lot better a this posting.
TT111 Why are you being nice I am beginning to start worrying that you are going soft.

The blue boxes are simple also, Peter. Again at the top right of each post (every one this time) there is the option to 'Quote'. Simply click on this option over the post you wish to quote, and it will begin your reply with that quote, including the code that puts it in the blue box. If you wish to cut down the words you want to quote, simply erase the ones you don't need with your cursor, being careful not to erase any of the coded bits on either side of the quote.

Why am I being nice? Must be July 21st.

You've erased the code at the start of the quote, Peter. It's vital you leave that in, or the boxes won't appear.

Don't mess with any of the type that comes into the panel when you quote, Peter. And make sure your cursor is right at the bottom of the panel, underneath all of the type, before you start typing.

Your bit IS there, Pete, but you put it INSIDE the quoted bit. You should have written it OUTSIDE. (Not outside in the garden, before you go and do that...)

Let me see if I can help here.

Peter has tried to get to grips with mobile phones, but all he can successfully manage to do is recharge the battery when it gets low. He has no idea why he finds it so difficult to get to grips with the technology.

Right, Pete?
