Tim Vine jokes never work well on their own anyway. It's the cumalitive effect of so much nonsense that keeps his act from being completely dreadful.

Alt: I don't know, cheddar or something.
Altalt: either/or
Altaltalt: I just stopped. Anybody who requires tricks or placebos or nicotine supplements is a weak-willed girly boy. Even the girls.
Altaltaltalt: I've never asked her. It's not the sort of topic we discuss at our family gatherings. She doesn't know mine, either. We're both quite happy with this arrangement.

Go to Task Manager, then the Processes tab.
Find winword.exe. Highlight, click End Process. It'll ask you if you're sure. Say yes.
DO NOT have any unsaved Word documents open when you do this. This includes draft emails. They will all instantly close.

Ugh, hangover. Why must wine taste so good?
Christmas is usually spent round my brother's house, as his missus does an excellent roast dinner.
Best type of cheese is melted on a pizza.
Really have no bacon preference, I'll quite happily eat turkey bacon even. Not quorn bacon though.
Gave up smoking for 3 years - went away on a long weekend with nicotine gum instead of cigarettes. 4 active days in unfamiliar surroundings made it fairly straightforward. It was bloody difficult once I was back on home soil though. I might take a week next time.
My mum's dead, so I'm guessing missionary position.
