I was thinking of a certain bearded friend...

Re: Passing the time
Never heard this story before
Weird!!!
One line was a bit worrying:
Sounds like a trip to the Docs is needed there 
One line was a bit worrying:
Spiderman and Sponge Bob do well - complete with red and yellow "deposits" respectively.

Re: Passing the time
This requires no skill whatsoever but is relaxing and mesmerising.

Re: Passing the time
That was nice - I played a half-dozen frames of this game. Very relaxing music.

Re: Passing the time
I thought so too. Mind you when it came to the swaying one I thought I might suddenly hear someone saying "and when I snap my fingers, you'll come back into the room 3-2-1"!
K thought the music sounded like "something off the Sims"

I couldn't get it to do anything - I just had a big black square.

Re: Passing the time
An unexpected visit back to another forum lead me to THIS little gem (for any of you posh-folk who keep up with technology and have an iPhone):

Page 2 is better than page 1, but I didn't get too much further for laughing

Re: Passing the time
I loved housekeeping on page 2.
I got as far as page 5. Evening with the wife, gum and awkward request on page 3 are worth a look!

Re: Passing the time
We end up calling people the names predictive text gives them. For example, I have one friend called JERKEW and another one called TRIPI... 
They are dangerous things, mobile phones. Once I sent one message to my daughter and another to my old boss in quick succession, and my phone amalgamated them. To my horror, as I clicked send I saw "Hi Ian, yes that's fine, see you Monday ...love you loads"
We also had the unfortunate situation that my sister in law's phone was accidentally left with the key lock off in her bag, and it rang my other sister in law without her knowing. OTHER sister in law could then overhear us referring to her as the "hippy contingent" and moaning about how much she drinks....

Re: Passing the time
I'm forever getting those accidental calls where you can hear what they are doing. It comes from being last in everyone's contacts list. 
Re: Passing the time
Bunny, it's not that I think it serves you right but... it serves you right.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Although to be honest I'd probably have said the same to her face. You know me, no holds barred...

Re: Passing the time
I've just found something to play with!
I was on the national rail enquiries website trying to work out if it was possible to get from platform 1b to the Victoria square entrance of Birmingham New Street station. (You have to go up to the concourse, down to another platform and up to a different concourse) It needs to be idiot proof if I am to send Kingsley on her own.....and it is
It tells you how to do it with pictures! Go through this door (picture) walk forward 5 metres (picture) turn right (picture)
Now I'm tempted to see how many strange routes round the station I can find.

Makes you think they must have lost a few people in the station and come across them starving in doorways weeks later!

Good lord. Mind you, that's good for uncertain travellers like me.
