You people just need to make more friends!

 

The argument being that given a sufficiently large number of friends, we'll eventually get some who use their entertainment space/formal dining space for entertaining/formal dining? Last week we had two dinners with friends, both not formal dining. This week it's three, all three not formal dining. In two of the three places the dining table is a crafts table, bill-paying table, laptop table, anything but a dining table. In the third it's occasionally used for sit-down dinners but more usually also a laptop table. Our dining table actually has a massive glass slab over it in acknowledgement of the fact that its principal use is as a work table. At the moment except for Mother Neb I'm more or less drawing a blank on people I know who use their dining table principally as a dining table.

we use our dining table every night for family dinners.

Trying to integrate with a third-party system. The spec is... interesting. I get the impression that it's a mish-mash of "customer A wants to do this and customer B wants to do this, so let's make them both work".

 

You then end up with a yes/no field that can take a boolean... or it can take the strings "Y", "N", "0" and "1".

 

Try "NULL" and "DROP ALL TABLES;"

So the warehouse has a deal on sistema containers at the moment - the 27l are 2 for $32. I need a lot to clear out the basement of decades of parental aquisitions so we can rent a house out properly,

I went to the warehouse and there were 3 on the shelf. Stuff that, I want heaps. Order from the warehouse with a free delivery code (ordered 20 of them) 

So far at work 2 giant boxes have arrived, each with 2 containers in each. If they keep this up it will be amazing.

It's used for dinner every night here. It also gets used for crafts, as a laptop table, and for a range of other things.

Getting the whole family sitting down to dinner is often the only time that we can all catch up.

For people who don't use a dining table, where do you eat something more than a piece of toast or a bowl of cereal? Balancing something on your knee on the sofa is so much more of a hassle than a flat, purpose made surface such as a table.

We use it everyday for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yes, it gets used for other purposes but dining is it's main purpose.

On the plus side, you get all those boxes for extra storage...

That in "Oliver Twist", the Artful Dodger's real name alternates between Jack and John, and I can find no explanation for this. Does anyone happen to know what's going on there?

I was annoyed when I received an item I bought on TM and it's incomplete and not exactly as described. 

Instead of putting bad feedback, I emailed and expressed that I wasn't that happy and I'd like the item to be made whole. 

No apology, just "I'll look for the missing bit, when I can" and "If you look at the Xth photo it shows the marks" etc etc...photo looked like a light reflection, not a mark, but you get what you pay for I guess. 

I got annoyed a while ago when I bought a "brand new" item and it arrived without any of the accessories. I realised afterwards that the description did say that it was the item only, but it had the "new" tag on it and a whole bunch of waffle in the description... I didn't think I'd have to read through it to find that the "brand new" item, well, wasn't.
