Now I understand why they were laughing at the hung-up call

He couldn't come up with anything further to say at all.


If he was any good he would have sold her a webcam for that purpose.

And if he was really good he would have told her she needed a computer with a faster CPU, more ram, a bigger harddrive and a dedicated video chipset in order to run the webcam to its full potential.

'When I first started driving, who would have thought petrol would someday cost 29 cents a gallon . Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage .


'I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more . Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it .


'I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century . They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas .


'Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President .

Yes.

No. Any rubbish would do for a webcam.
Anyway she hadn't much liked his answer about what brand of modem it had in it (This was quite a long time ago) - he fumbled around and annouced it was a COM1.

She then got me to build her one. For gaming actually.

782376 2009-06-17 06:15:00 I went to a dinner party last night, where I and other guests enjoyed copious amounts of alcohol . I awoke this morning not feeling well, with what could be described as flu-like symptoms; headache, nausea, chills, sore eyes etc .



From the results of some initial testing, I have unfortunately tested positive for what experts are now calling Wine Flu . This debilitating condition is very serious and it appears this is not an isolated case .



Reports are flooding in from all around the neighbourhood of others diagnosed with Wine Flu .

To anyone that starts to exhibit the aforementioned tell-tale signs, experts are recommending a cup of tea and a bit of a lie down .



However, should your condition worsen, you should immediately hire a DVD and take some Nurofen [Nurofen seems to be the only drug available that has been proven to help combat this unusual type of flu] . Others are reporting a McDonald's Happy Meal can also help in some cases .



Wine Flu does not need to be life threatening, and if treated early can be eradicated within a 24-48 hour period . If not, then further application of the original liquid in similar quantities to the original dose has been shown to do the trick . Good luck !!!



However, I do feel as a precaution, anyone should take the government quarantine option and not come back to work for 7 days .
