9. I really enjoy these posts. Would recommend a softer toothpick for the de-linting.
18. Date night !

13 - perhaps this is related to 21 and 29.
21 - if things get that bad, there may not be any gas or electric either.
29 - didn't bother this time, they're busy doing nothing.

29. Any supposedly 'news' programme the moment a 'certain' subject was mentioned...turned off. I've been spending a lot of time with complete media silence for a while now.

9 - totally agree with Kevin... don't use metal as it may damage the connections... a robust toothpick is much better (as advise by Apple Store genius)...

30 - be interesting to see where you head. I would assume somewhere on the Eurostar, but many further destinations aren't great for day trips and I know DG is not a fan of hotel stays!

9: the Genius who helped me with the same problem used a can of compressed air, and advised never to stick anything like a paperclip in there (toothpick recommended)

9. The phrase used by my phone guy was 'lint brick'. And he used a toothbrush...

21. Baked beans can be eaten cold, just as nutritious. With modern cans you don't even need a tin opener.

2. Usually 3 times I think. I got caught out on this one with the unabridged version of Stephen King's The Stand

28. Elegant pre-rusted footbridge also officially opened a few days ago, after many years of waiting, to give access from Chiswick Park station, across Overground tracks and into Chiswick Business Park.

2: In Hong Kong it's 5 times as far as I remember, each spanning two weeks, which gives the maximum period approximately 3 months.
I later found my university offering longer lease periods, as well as wider choice of books. Not to mention it gives me excuses to drive.
12: People like you are literally squeezed to death to make up the shortfall due to online competition.
23: Sounds like a real threat to this blog's continual update...
29: My honourable friend should stay out of this in-cre-di-ble situation. This should continue to be the guiding principle of his penmanship (Thanks to a certain beardyman for ingraining these two moments in my head)

12. I can reassure readers that I am not being literally squeezed to death.

18 - What Chris said. Ditto for the second most expensive. Utter bastards, but a good reading of human behaviour you have to admit.

24 - Bifocals aren't the end of the world, but varifocals are (for me, not wanting the hassle of contact lenses) infinitely better. They take a few months to get fully used to though.

17 I just turned down an invitation to hear Jim Al-Khalili for free at an event in London after they said they wanted 'Business Dress'. As an ex-software developer, such stiffling clothes went to Oxfam decades ago.

24 - sadly, January was the month when I got my first varifocals. Well, I was meant to, but there's a problem with them so I'll now be getting them in February. I'm finding it very upsetting on an existential level (old!), but even the brief moment trying on the broken pair and realising how I'll be able to leave them on all the time and see everything was pretty neat. Though, as Tim says, I'm now bracing myself for the learning period...

10. Has enough time passed that you can reveal who your former employer was? (or at least give us a much more helpful clue)
20. I assume South Hornchurch was far more rural when the Cosy Tea Rooms were at their prime. I think I can picture the tweed-clad walkers and cyclists.
24. Being at a similar age and eyesight stage I'm still struggling to work out how bifocals will let me look up at a computer screen without squinting down my nose, so I'm sticking to separate reading glasses for now.

24. Varifocals are wonderful. Adapting to them takes about 10 minutes, and from then on you just hold your head at the right place automatically. Of course, experiences may vary. But I've never heard of anyone trying them and regretting it.

24. Being very short sighted all my life I found I could no longer cope with simple glasses when I got to 60. For a while I struggled putting reading glasses on top so I could read my computer screen and also keep an eye on the telly at the same time. I dreaded the thought of bifocals with the ugly inconvenient line across the middle of the lens and was pleasantly surprised to find I could afford varifocals if I wanted them. However, in my opinion it's worth getting the upgraded lenses rather than the basic ones. I took to them like duck to water but I suspect that they're not for everyone.

16: perhaps it's called Romford Electrical Services because it's on Romford Rd?
24. Varifocals (a new term to me) are excellent - had them for years. Much better than bifocals, where the join is always in the wrong place, or on-again/off-again reading glasses.
