Epic win

^^^ yer

if you hold down Ctrl, Alt and an arrow key on a keyboard you can change the direction of the screen. Good fun if your colleague leaves computer unattended to turn their screen upside down.

^depends on your graphics driver unfortunately not all machines do it.

It's even better on a dual monitor setup as it depends which screen you're mouse is on as to which changes direction.

One upside down and one at 90 degrees leads to much confusion.

apologies if a massive repost

Women protestors deliver a card to The Sun office demanding an end to page 3

"The campaigners tried to enter the Sun offices to deliver the card to him (Dominic Mohan) directly, but security guards called the police – who turned up, and promptly signed the No More Page 3 petition, adding the message: "Women deserve respect from the media."

I'll just leave this here...

Just had an e-mail from my mate Dean, not heard from him in ages, he works for a cycling holiday company in Spain:

I've been really busy with the cycling tours all year. This you won't believe. Cycling Country was an official operator of La Vuelta this year. ASO became involved and hosted the first "Etapa de la Vuelta". It's a cyclosportive event. As Cycling Country was a official operator I was given a free entry and also postioned next to the guest star rider- Miguel Indurain on the start line. Ha!Ha! Wait it gets better. They decided to use the queen stage from the Vuelta, which was Gijon-Cuitu Negru. 185km. They say about 500 started but I think less. Anway, it was neutralized for the first 85km until the big climbs started. Halfway up the first climb and I was up there with leaders when I looked over my shoulder and saw Mig closing in on us. He climbed easily upto us in that relaxed seated style of his, looking just like I remember from the TV. I was now riding alongside him on the climb when his chain popped off. I didn't hesitate and rode one handed pushing Mig while he attempted to put his chain back on while cursing in a nice way "Campagnolo electronico terrible", he said. He succeded and thanked me. Probably the highlight of my life so far. I went on to finish 10th compared to Mig 21st.

That's Dean on Big Mig's right.

Hero.

I watched so many French comedies (and movies) as a kid. Far more than Hollywood productions which at some point were on TV only on Christmas and Easter.

From Charlie's FB wall. Not sure if repost.

I'm leaning towards BS.

There was this

Don't know...

I'm not claiming it's a shop. And it's a pretty cool site. Just sceptical about the quote.
