| My new monitor has a great feature - it will pop up a warning when you've had it on continuously for an hour, suggesting you take a break.
You can turn this feature off, of course, it wd be annoying otherwise.

| Something weird happened when I was trying to create a Mink DeVille playlist and do a running commentary at the same time...

| My mouse just stopped working. I had to pull it out and back in again to get it working.  Is it time to go down Poundland and get another? |

| The joy of getting them from Poundland is you can buy multiple ones, so you'll always have spares when one dies.  _________________ |

| I was just mooching through my old photos, and I noticed a video had gone missing,  I managed to find it the legacy folder as a .mov file hidden in the maze of files that that 'Photos' application hides them in these days.  Don't ask me to do it again, I don't think I could. |

| The mouse on this PC is very annoying, clicking the scroll wheel doesn't register as 'middle button'.
I need 'middle click' to open NHOTW posts in a new tab. As it is I have to right click and choose 'Open in new tab' instead.

| Also I need 'middle click' to for the 'close tab' function.

| Ooh, that's clever. Thanks.
I wonder, do Poundland do a scroll wheel mouse, and if so, is it marketed as the 'Click, click, click!' mouse?

| I have a scroll-wheel mouse that came from Poundland. It even lights up.  _________________ |

| My laptop's been lighting-slow all night. I think I'm going to have to increase it to its maximum 8 RAMs. _________________ |

| Why is The Guardian not displaying pictures and Wikipedia formatted in plain text.

| Seems it was something to do with AdBlock.
Just uninstalled/reinstalled it and it seems to've sorted the problem.
Fingers crossed.
