You’re a Luddite!

I also like the real book. Although I can see an advantage if one was going on a long trip to not having to carry a heavy book.

Indeed, that's one reason I prefer electronic copies now.

I have never actually used electronic media to read a book yet.

I think the first one was Dracula when I got stuck away on a business trip. It saved me from complete boredom, and I didn't mind the format even on a smaller screen pre smartphone. The book was probably on there for ages before I tried it.

I get a few magazines digitally now too. I like having a choice of what to read on the way in. The Twomorrows mags are good for reading in and out of work.

Most of the stuff I have to read for class is online as well. Usually we get PDF files and Powerpoint slides. I read them on my laptop to save paper, I can make highlights there anyway.

Technology has made summarising a breeze.

Well now, they call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road

Are you telling us you've got wind?

Lardy is going to huff and puff at you, thothy!

It's which bit is going to huff and puff I'm having an issue with.

Perhaps we need to have the fainting couch ready, just in case!

Maybe a fainting beanbag? Or did we establish that those are too uncomfortable? :confused;

I don't think bean- anything should be mentioned anywhere near wind thank you

Those fainting beanbags need to be very sturdy! Imagine if Monstress or Blok suddenly fainted!

Would you try a Mexican Jumping Beanbag chair?

If you paid enough lobbyists, the Mexican Jumping Beanbag chair would become such a perceived threat that the height of Trump's wall would have to be adjusted

But we can’t utilize Mexican Jumping Beans! the wall, you know?

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

A lot of teachers have given me a tough time over the years. Some have been great, but some have been terrible.

One time I was five years old, and I had to hand in a letter to my teacher from my mom. The letter was explaining that I had to be absent for a week for family stuff. The teacher asked me for our home phone number, which I did not know (it had never seemed important to me to know, I was five and someone always dropped me off and picked me up at school, and the phone number was on most of my school books and notebooks; so the number was handy, I simply never memorized it).

The teacher gets angry, accuses me of lying, and demands that I tell her. I keep trying to explain that I didn't know. She drags me from class to the faculty room and keeps questioning me. Another teacher had to intervene to get her to stop, but by then I was sobbing and cowering in the corner.

And to this day, one of my hot buttons is being accused of something and not being believed when I deny it.

So what was your phone number?

I can remember, actually. But posting it here would reveal my identity

right now in the us to call another phone, you have to dial 10 numbers. When I was a kid, to make a local call, you only had to dial 5 numbers. To dial within your area code, you only had to dial 7 numbers. Beyond the area code, you had to dial all 10 numbers plus a 1 in front of it.

Bad Quis. Bad.



Oh, oh, telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight. - ELO

I wonder if you have to add extra digits for the twilight area code as it's international, or if local twilight codes are available.

ah, the misadventures we have had dialing foreign phone numbers...
