Yes, it does. Blame my misspent youth sticking Citadel minatures together for that knowledge. I bet Dimmers, Zardoz, and other denizens of the Nerdy Nerdlingers thread knew this too.

So, what you do is coat the back of the magnet, also the design bit, wait a few seconds before going to press them together, but at the crucial moment you drop the magnet part somewhere.

It's now stuck to your belly.

Is it slightly worrying that the first thing I thought of after reading this is that you'd be like one of the awesome Scalextric cars with magnets on their bellies to stay on the track?

No, that sounds awesome!

May I apologise Mimi for the other gentlemen on this forum... it shames me that I'm the only one so far to suggest this but... pics or it didn't happen.

Just found out that there'll be no new posts after all, no new Welsh librarian, no new porter, no new scale two and no new scale 3 music librarian. Instead they'll be farming the vacancies out to temporary Cardiff Works people.

Cardiff Council can go and fuck itself.

Sorry to hear that, mate.

On the plus side, you can now leave Wales and never look back.

No, I have my scale 2 job. But there has only been one new job in several years, and they promised us these new posts, and I had my heart set on it, and I had big plans for the new music library, and had coached myself into acing the interview... and... a few days after saying that the go ahead had been given for the posts to appear, and these are REPLACEMENT POSTS for people they should have replaced who left ages ago, they turn around and say, actually, no, temps can do as good a job and we don't got no money sorry guv.

So I'm sitting in this expensive new building with lots of bullshit £5,000 a piece furniture on a scale 2 wage and absolutely no career prospects as far as I can see for the next fuck knows how long.

See AngryPete thread.

I'm sorry to hear that. However:

You'll be seriously amazed at a) how good modern medicine is nowadays and b) how fucking wrong doctors are and c) people's ability to get down and carry on regardless.

Hmm...surprisingly, £13 shoes don't last that long. Shame they appear to be the only pair I've bought in ages that actually fit. Back to M&S I guess.

You should go to Clarks. Clarkes make good, comfortable lightweight shoes. You should always buy he best for your feet - you'll be needing them for yeas to come. God shoes are an investment - no point buying six pairs for £13 each rather than the one par for £40 that will last you longer than those six pairs combined.

This has been a public service broadcast.

Plus if you get the ones with a compass in the heel then that's one less reason to buy an iPhone 3GS.

Every pair of Clarke's shoes (work shoes shoes, I mean) I've owned has died in 9 months. Dad's been buying his from M&S and takes them back when they break and gets them replaced. He's paid for *one* pair of shoes from there in several years, now - just keeps getting a free upgrade every 18 months.

I have a new phone. Touch screen, GPS so I can use it as a satnav, compass, nicely designed, light, connects online to download apps, can pick up email and quickly surf...

Farewell Nokia N81, hello HTC Magic.

I like tea. Hell I even like the 'off the wall' blends like Chai, Earl Grey and his good Lady but I draw the line at Lapsang Souchong which last night I discovered tastes like tea that's been set on fire (chemically) and put out with the piss of several sweaty chinese weightlifters.

Linden flower is pretty nice, they had it when we were on holiday. Not seen it over here but we brought some back so you can try it if you like.

Whenever I buy Clarke's shoes (at cut down prices from the outlet store in Cheshire Oaks, fact fans) they split across the ball of the foot after about 8-9 months.

Very annoying to discover this when walking the rain. Soggy socks are not fun

It'll go for about 36 hours before it needs charging, so make sure you plug it in each night.
However, I'm currently running an app that updates my position on a map wherever I am using GPS, and that means it has to be on charge a lot (like at least every four hours).
I'd wait for the HTC Hero, TBH. Headphone jack!

It isn't for me — Miss Malabar got one a few days ago. Her battery life seems terrible so far, and she insists she's barely been using it. I wonder if she's running some battery-intensive programs.

Mine was terrible for the first few weeks or so - maybe it's the way the batteries work?
Also, the battery lasts longer than you think it will - the last little bit of red goes for hours.
Turning off the GPS (settings | security and location) wouldn't hurt, either.

These things are linked. The "how much battery life you have" meter on the phone is a guess, and the chip that does the guessing calibrates itself over time as you charge and discharge the phone. Try running it dead flat a couple of times, then charging it right up.

Cheers, guys. I'll let her know.

Is it just me who feels incredibly bad when someone you know buys something that doesn't work as expected? I always feel a personal onus to resolve the matter, for some reason.
