You think any of the income from deluxe editions goes to the rank and file devs?

The French Navy would tragically sink a few dinghies in a live gunnery practice exercise mishap and be publicly “Nous sommes vraiment désolés…” with a strong undertone of “Pour décourager les autres.”

VoIP phones are great if live somewhere that never has power cuts and has good cellular service in case the house loses power. As I have both regular power outages and zero cellular coverage, I’m hanging on to my landline for as long as possible.

My parents had a bright red one of those for many, many years until the changeover to pulse dialling. Dull telecoms fact: many of the old telephone exchanges are now cell sites for multiple operators as they had plenty of room inside after all the electromechanical exchange cabinets were...

She was a DIE hire who clearly lied out of every orifice about how much training her expert armourer father had given her.

That would be the exception to the rule for me.

There was a time when many households rented TVs and it must have been a good earner for the rental outfits as I remember a Radio Rentals and a D.E.R. in my little home town.

Nothing. Got a couple of sofas etc on “X years interest free credit deals” over the years, but always paid them off in full before the interest cut in. Knew folks that fitted out entire homes on HP and were always a lost week’s wages away from absolute ruin, but they had a “it’ll be fine, you...

It’s worth it if you’re on the Red Eye and have to attend meetings etc. the morning you land.
