I'd proposing a laptop that works without crashing
and some kind of automatic alarm that tells me that lunch is in the fridge and not my bag, leading to starvation

The lunch thing seems to be a theme with you
I however once managed to leave my laptop and blackberry on the train, but I did pick up my ratty plastci bag with my sandwiches in.

It is doing my head in
I have a new suspect in the case though. My USB hub. If that little fucker is the cause of all this I am going to smash it into bits

Depending on the power supply in the laptop, those hubs can fuck your shit right up and you'd hardly even know it.
Happened with my desktop - the overall supply was borderline perfect for everything I had on there, plugged the hub in, then some peripherals and my hard drives started failing.

It is a powered hub.
I've taken it off the dock, stopped using the USB drives and the hub and all is OK.

Also, by the looks of things, missing one lunch is unlikely to result in you "starving".

Stottie? What is this curious Northern delicasy?

A big flat bun
Perfect for filling with foodstuffs

The ones I had at Teeside were almost 1ft across.
Filled with roast beef and gravy.

That is a proper stottie
They can resist gravy for long periods (unlike me)

They needed to be,
We were working at Seal Sands gas terminal, and the wind would have blown anything less substantial away.

What's wrong with a sweet chilli, crayfish and mango wrap
with a nice low fat yogurt for pudding?
