I'm amazed the robot can pick itself up after being knocked down. Or is it 'faked'?Quote:

I was thinking that the other day when replacing one of mine. You end up chucking a perfectly good piece.Quote:

Coincidentally I have recently been through my old CD collection (pre 2007 that went into storage when I moved that year) replacing all the broken cases with my wife's ones that had badly scratched CDs in (which were most of them as she only really used them in the car and left them out of the case in the glovebox or wherever). My collection had a lot of broken ones due to an accident when I had a few mates around one night, and my IKEA Benno (Benny?) CD towers weren't secured to the wall, so you can imagine what happened [emoji23]
It was quite interesting matching fronts and backs from different periods as you could see how they changed from the basic grey inner'd early ones to the better ones usually with transparent or shiny black innards.
Yes - the quality and durability of the tray 'claw', over which the CD fits, can vary quite a bit..
Off to IKEA shortly, to collect a dining table and chairs, so we can go back to eating like civilised folk again. This is our second trip there in the last seven days. I quickly lose the will to live in that place, but this time we've done the click'n'collect thing, so should be painless.
When we went there a couple of years ago, I set myself the task of counting the pregnant women (there were many) to relieve the boredom. Last week, not so many, but plenty of babies and toddlers. i suppose time marches on. Quite a few babies carried by dads in those front facing rucksacks. Must be a new age thing, made me feel like a right dinosaur - when my girls were little we either shoved them round in a pushchair, or preferably left them with grandparents.
babies are so lazy these days. wouldn't have happened :wheniwasaboy:
Yep, they don't know they're born, but they have too much to say for themselves. Not helped by the parents' lack of a sense of humour. I mean if we recited one of those old jokes, like "What's the difference between babies and sand? You can't unload sand with a pitchfork", or the "What's red and sits in a corner?" one, they wouldn't like it.Quote:
