For the last few months, my 1Tb harddrive has been telling me it only has 50Gb free.The other night, I figured I'd better have a look and delete a load of rubbish.
Turns out there was only about 150Gb of data, and the rest was the harddrive having a spaz fit. Some shuffling of data and a swift reformat later, and we're back to normal.
When was the last time technology flummoxed you? Ever wondered why your roast hadn't cooked properly, only to realise you hadn't turned the oven on?

I would move the million quid to a different bank and tell the original bank to GET LOST.My external hard drive won't spin - it's doing my loaf in, as it's got a load of really important data on it.

Well obviously it's best to get up to get the remote, then sit down and switch on the tellythen turn it off and get back up to put it down by the telly again.
Not everything is for your convenience, you know.

That defeats the object. Walking to the tv to get the remote to control it from the other side of the room?We should be thankful women don't possess common sense.

all the timealt: well, you have to be able to prove you genuinely didn't know it was your money and you spent it by mistake, if you don't want to be sued etc etc. and I think I would struggle to prove that, given the severe lack of regular million quid deposits in my account.

I'm getting better at remembering (he say's, as his house burns down while he sits at work).
Once I left the hot tap on when I was filling a washing up bowl. All day. While I went to work for 8 hours.
My gas bill was a bit high that month and all the decoration had burned off my tea caddy.
