Using Corsodyl Daily toothpaste is like brushing your teeth with a 50/50 vomit/acid mix. Clearly the manufacturers are aware of it’s “unique” taste as they have provided a helpful graph above, showing that if you really persevere with their product, eventually, you too can be the smiley wingding, not the frowny one. It’s not even a straight...

Door etiquette. Fuck that. Hold it open for the next person, or the whole group you’re with? And isn’t it weird when a bunch of strangers then go through?

I found that my front mech is so badly adjusted that I have pretty much eaten through it with my chain since the last proper re-adjustment (when I put a new back wheel on). I’ve adjusted the high...

Helen has an Acer AL1916W monitor. It’s widescreen, it’s nice and it mostly gets used with my Xbox (for which it’s fine). However, it’s -always- been slightly blurry when used with her Mac mini. This is made even worse (for me, I don’t think that she notices) by the fact that the blurriness is not uniform — the middle of the screen appears way...

Thanks for that healthy dose of shame, iTunes.
