Oh the humanity! The waste! The horror!

We, as a community, can get through this if we all pull together. Our thoughts are with Craster in what must be a very trying and difficult time.

Indeed. I was surprised to see that, it goes against the publishing principles.

I've been asked if I can go to London next Thursday for a conference. I'm someone who hasn't been on a train in about 15 years so this prospect does not excite me.

Come down on Wednesday night and have drinks.

It is , however once its on the phone it stays on the phone

I'm sure the ones going for silly money are not actually being sold at that price and that people are just taking the p*ss

Ha! I'm actually trying to choose the DJ right now, I think it's going to be our biggest expense after the food based on who I've got in the running.

Random question: Does anyone use a matte screen protector on their phone? Are they any good? Do they affect screen visibility much?

Ta.

nickachu · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 13:51

My ex did. It was alrite, just felt strange when you're used to shiney screen.

Spose it's just something you have to get used to.

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 13:52

So there you are, DavPaz. If you use a screen protector, Nickachu will leave you.
