When you post something on Facebook, someone comes in and hijacks it with a completely different topic.

The countdown clock at the beginning of the BBC News, where the tenths of a second digit only ever shows 0, 1 or 2.
I think it's one number per frame @ 25 frames per second.

Might be wrong though...

I pronounce it as "draw" (as perhaps most people do?) but would never spell it that way.

When you call a company and, when put on hold, it's always the same crap piece of music. Every single time. Why can't they just invest in a system that feeds a radio channel into the phone whilst you wait?

Because that would incur a licensing cost they don't want nor need to.

Ages ago when Wordperfect was the ne plus ultra of Wordprocessing, their UK office had a DJ on the helpline.

These days I like trying and figure out where the music loop begins and ends

Does any actual work ever take place?
Yes but it's only me who does it!

I thought Mr Rolleyes smiley had returned but maybe not. I need him right now.
