Amy Williams - nom nom nom. BBC News - Olympic torch: Amy Williams takes flame in Somerset

Also known as Billy. As in Billy no mates now.

D'oh, we know, we're just taking the urine!

I have the 24" Benq HD on my gaming PC at home and I'm very pleased with it. This is the version going on Amazon.

Some geezer looking for a kebab shop and taken a wrong turn?

Have you ever tried the Happy Shopper Instant Coffee? Don't. It's bad. It's like the scrapings off Lenny Henry's feet after a visit to the chiropodist.

I must admit I do like McD's coffee - a lifesaver in the morning when you've driven twenty miles with a mouth like Mick Jagger's armpit.

Yes, because I've seen them in a bikini at a barbecue.

Me the other day trying to help a clueless friend with a computer problem over the phone: User: It's got Windows 2010 installed. Me: You mean you've got MS Office 2010... User: No, I know it's got Windows 2010 on it! Me: (Giving up) So what version of Office is on it? User: What's that? Me; You know, Word, Excel, PowerPoint...? User: Oh, yes, we downloaded that free from the internet last year - it's Office 2011. Me: Are you sure? The only Office 2011 is the version for Mac computers...? User: Yes I'm sure. I'm not stupid! At this point I recall that I'm dealing with someone who is convinced that there are five seasons in a year, not four (winter, spring, summer, autumn, winter) and has a tattoo of Britney Spears on their abdomen. I told them I couldn't help them with their problem and to take it to PC World.

They were made in Britain so what did you expect? Couldn't they have just turned it off and back on again?

I think I loved it a bit too much last week as I spent Friday with an appalling migraine. Too much caffeine is a trigger for me

This is what happens if you get too close to it: BBC News - Olympic torch tackle man near Land's End

The raised round insert on the base of the table will break your arm if you actually tried to use it as a shied to block a heavy blow. Also, the wider section at the base of the club where you hold it would make it uncomfortable / painful to use as a weapon as well. A good old baseball bat under the bed and a wife who is horrifically scary without makeup is all you need as a deterrent these days to make sure you get a sound nights sleep

We need to move the Users folder on our Mac Server from one volume to another, something I've not attempted before. Is this the best and correct way of doing it: Moving Users Input much appreciated!

If it does what it says on the tin and it is free then ace one! Can't believe they'd give something like this away free.

I'd like a decent coffee machine here but I'd probably kill myself by overdosing on coffee.

Just purchased a tub of the new Nescafe Azera (£3.29 for 60g was a bit of a shock) as I love coffee but have grown to hate the taste of the instants. I must say it's rather nice - not quite the barista standard as it claims, but still rather drinkable. Ah, caffeine.......I can cope with the rest of the day now

I've got over 4,000 .mobi files to copy to an iPad. They need to be accessed in the Kindle app. They're mainly instruction schematics, the biggest file being around 700kb, but the average file size is around 400kb. No matter how I try to copy them to the device I get an out of memory error. One at a time is fine but the moment I try to copy more than one we get the error. Is there another way other than through iTunes? We've tried more than one PC and have the same error. It even does it on a PC with 16GB RAM.

Groan....

Yes, budding serial killer.

Were you a small child?

Yes, we need an EduPubCrawl.....I'm all up for it. Start in Lands End and end up in John O'Groats. It'll be a nice break from work

Can only find in US: Snickers

I want links to where I can buy one!

Jeez. Is that real? I could eat that now.
