I tidied mine <i>after</i> posting what an embarrassing state it was in. :-)<br /><br />Oh, and BTW, if you want to go back to a wireless mouse try lithium batteries in it. I used to replace ordinary AAs every four months or so and I've now had a pair of Li AAs that have lasted more than twice that, are still reading near as dammit 100% and the mouse software thinks will be good for another four years. Even assuming that's wildly optimistic and they go in two years they're still cheaper than the 8 or 9 pairs of regular Duracells I'd have used instead.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-69803034308129444672011-01-03T15:18:51.866+00:002011-01-03T15:18:51.866+00:00"The neatness lasted less than an hour" ...<i>"The neatness lasted less than an hour"</i> Hehehe, it took that long?<br /><br />I can be a maudlin bastard sometimes when I get into "the world is on my shoulders" mode, usually after a drink or two, but snap out of it when I realise that I have it good, no health worries to speak of, eat well and have a roof over my head, a few bob in the bank to see off any financial brick bats that come my way and a wife that loves me.

Luckies if I can get them, Camel if I can't, but sometimes Rothmans and from Libya, a smoke called MS. I despise paying duty to the UK goverment and cannot remember when I last bought a packet of cigarettes here.<br /><br />I had to spend ten minutes tidying up my desktop as well. There were around twenty folders visible but they are tagged with customer names so I needed to park those somewhere out of sight.<br /><br />The neatness lasted less than an hour. I now have two roller blinds, masking tape, a hammer and two screwdrivers littering the desk.<br /><br />Don't fret too much about the smoking ban. It will be the least of our problems soon.<br /><br />Stay well mate!<br /><br />CR.Captain Rantyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07839241144954596066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-22488952535698360652011-01-03T14:49:22.049+00:002011-01-03T14:49:22.049+00:00I'm envious of your second monitor, class.
I ...I'm envious of your second monitor, class.<br /><br />I too went through many wireless mice and was less than thrilled when the batteries ran out after a short length of time, (same for the 'wireless' keyboard that came with it. That was until I bought the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Wireless-Optical-Mouse-Sterling/dp/B003ZM17J8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1294064911&sr=8-2=" rel="nofollow">Microsoft wireless mouse 2000 </a> and keyboard from Morrisons around 2 years ago...bliss. Haven't changed the battery in the keyboard but changed the battery in the mouse after around 10 months of usage.<br /><br />Lucky Strikes? How cosmopolitan of you.<br /><br />Your computer screen looks surprisingly uncluttered whereas mine is full to busting with folders and icons.<br /><br />All in all you must get a 10 out of 10 for neatness...but how long will it last I wonder.<br /><br />Have a great new year, same to Mrs Ranty and your offspring. Although the new year has gotten off to a bad start with Spain falling to the smoking Taliban which will no doubt have our own smoking fascists rubbing their hands in glee and pushing the numpties that govern us to bring in even more draconian measures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072165710888952465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-34393480220840453692011-01-03T14:01:36.308+00:002011-01-03T14:01:36.308+00:00That's cheating!
