    A precariously balanced cup of water..... mmm.

    Actually a small mountain of belly button fluff. I'm saving up enough to knit a jumper for the winter.

    I have a diving torch and a CD player on mine
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".

    With some Tippex (white-out) and a pen you could modify that to

    "For Official classi User Only"

    How do you feel about defacing government property?

    As you can tell by the fact that I'm in here chatting that I don't pay a lot of attention to the rules.....unless you consider that I'm spreading good will towards America....oh wait...you all hate us anyway so that's not it......let's face it I just have a blatant disregard for authority

    A plaque with my name on (currently says 'Charlotte').

    A prayer for the stressed.

    More post-its than you can shake a stick at.

    A note reminding me to read my post-its.

    A few spatterings of blood.

    A polo mint that someone blutacked there.

    A 320lb maternally outraged gorrilla. Oh, wait. That's not true.

    A small stuffed toy of the sesame street character 'The Grouch' (me - apparently) with a parasol embedded in its arm.

    ah Ha found it

    Our lager,
    Which art in barrels,
    Hallowed be thy drink.
    Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
    At home as it is in the tavern.
    Give us this day our foamy head,
    And forgive us our spillage,
    As we forgive those who spill against us.
    And lead us not to incarceration,
    But deliver us from hangovers.
    For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager.
    Barmen.

    i have a little bronze Eygptian bloke on the top of mine, *looks on top to check he is still there*

    "AAAGGGGGHHHHHHH, he has gone, some one has stolen him (or he has fallen off again), i stuck the bugger down with nearly a whole packet of blu tac"

    "Where have you gone Eygptian Man ???"

    Oh and i have Feather Mcgraw on top of my monitor perhaps he took him, and i have an old amibios chip as well

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Believe it or not we try to drink Bodingtons, Kilkenny, Caffreys, Guinness, Tetleys etc.

    If we have to drink weak Canadiab beer then we usually go for Traditional or some such. But it's almost impossible to get drunk on.

    What I really miss is Belhaven Best. I haven't found any out here yet.

    Whats after shock & abscence?

    Katie - combined with you having to remove your hard disk every evening ( and possibly eat it if security was compromised ) I thought that you would enjoy this

    Lots of dust. And cat hair We don't usually dust up there and my cat loves to sit up there to A)avoid my sister. OR B)watch me programming or do whatever.

    a digital camera for taking pictures of any muntjac that might pass by
    true

    (not a web cam - that is face down on the floor for some reason)

    Thinking about it this is probably not a good place for a camera so now there is only dust.

    Hmmm... probably a 27C512(64KByte), but I had a 386 with a 27C0010(128KByte). If you take of the sticker, you'll see a window to the chip, and it's actual serial number. Don't take off the sticker, as it may destroy the sticker and erase the contents of the EPROM(ie. no more BIOS code).

    Hmmm... Now I got more cat hair on top of my monitor, funny cat...
