I had an idea for an accumulator bet on the whole world cup, but forgot to place it in time. Got the winners and top scorer, but would've failed on the third part.

cos I would've needed the top try scorer (was gonna plump for Greenwood) to win the bet. Still, not making the bet saved me five quid.

The last week we were in our local pub and appetizers were advertized as half off. A friend asked if that included the shrimp cocktail. He was told that no not shellfish.

but having more phones doesn't up the bills.
I had one, which I keep for the answering maching, but it was cheaper to buy another phone than a new battery for it. I bought an old-fashioned one with a cord so I could use it when the power goes out or I forget to charge the battery on the other one. And one I unintentionally shoplifted, but never bothered to take back. It was stuck in a filing cabinet I bought (I didn't put it there)

For best results, choose a hard drive that spins at 7,200 or 10,000RPM (vs. a 5,400RPM drive), a fast enough processor to feed it (400, 600, or 800MHz vs. 233 or 266MHz), and generous amounts of RAM (256 or 512MB vs. 64 or 128MB).

And hit Enter
Wait for it to load up, should be on the first page with all your specs.
Note for those not allowed chat programs in the Office / School, DirectX also has a chat program, you just need the PC's IP's you want to connect to. Best part is removing it would probably break stuff that windows needs.
