187 - When you can't think of anything to do on...
Somedays you’re drowning in links to videos of dancing cats and sneezing babies and great intellectual articles. You just can’t find time, there’s so much awesome stuff on the internet you’ll never be able to see and read it all. Then every so often you’re sat there looking at a blank browser address bar wondering where to point it to, knowing that it’s...

186 - Needing the loo in bed
Ah that lovely morning where you can lie in and snuggle under the covers, but what’s this? - you need the loo. You really don’t want to get up and you try ignoring it but the feeling grows until eventually your nice snoozing is going to have to be ended by a trip to the toilet and it’s cold tiled floor.

183 - Womens handbags
You know that carpet bag thing in Mary Poppins that she pulls a lamp and other stuff out of? I don’t think it was a joke in any way, women’s handbags often seem like different worlds, it’s like reaching down into Narnia. The only time men ever get to look is when they’re requested to just “grab something” out of there, like it’s a simple task, I can never...

182 - Really short laptop cables
The point of a laptop is it’s portable, which is great when you have a full battery and you can wander around as you wish. Every so often though you’ll have to sit down and do a bit of work and charge the laptop at the same time. This doesn’t mean you want to sit on top of a plug socket, it’s nice to still be able to sit on the sofa a few feet away without having to wheel...
