My confidence after having to suffer the ineptitude of an ignorant company owner for 4 months.
Now I know why I have to be self employed.

After 40 years of calling myself a socialist I found that I am actually a liberal....just as that became a term of abuse. Didn't PJ O'Rouke once speculate that no woman had ever had a sexual fantasy about someone dressed as a liberal......explains a lot.

The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham. Friendly, helpful service and a great choice of beer.
Mindfulness - and loads of other free on-line courses at https://www.futurelearn.com/
Impulsiveness - went to the garage to book my car in for a service, and bought a brand new car!

Linux has turned a nearly 10 year old laptop that was barely working at all on Vista into a machine that feels like I've just bought it new from the shop. I'm gobsmacked at the difference!

Which flavour are you using?

We use CentOS at work for various bits so I'm tempted to head down that route.

Hither (sometimes Thither)
In my private lab, in which the sound of yapping is near deafening, I played around with the poodle gene that has them with such elegant knotted bush. When broadcasting my developments into injecting that gene to the disappointingly straight-haired, I received a writ, handed to me by an unholy bruiser with PUM tattooed on one hand and MEL on the other, from Brian May's legal team, demanding that I hand over the results of my tests, and the pungent fluid which for only around a week poodlises one's locks. I have a single syringe left, the insides of which I would think would only stay valid and usable for the next 3 months, and I plan to put it to use. If, in the north stand, for the QPR game, you see a chap absolutely caked in curly fur all over, come and stroke me and say that you understand. A maximum of 3 strokes though. And make your empathy seem at least mostly authentic. I hate fibbers of understanding.

That I disliked working from home and was bored in my job. Both things about to be changed.

That I could run a marathon (not quite quickly enough but still faster than [MENTION=15605]knocky1[/MENTION])

That Cardiff can be an unexpectedly good place for a day out.

That Southern Rail are absolute cockwombles of the highest order, deserving only of stringing up.

That I don't mind sprouts so long as they are shredded and stir fried with bacon, butter and shallots.
