I currently have five telephone handsets in my place, four are cordless units, the other being hard-wired for power outages. Soon, though, my internet connection will be FTTN or possibly FTTP depending on what the providers can get working. There's provision for a single phone using VOIP into the new modem, so I'll ditch all those phones & replace them with a quad cordless setup. The main base station will connect via VOIP and the three extensions will connect to that base.
I was chatting with an older fella at the Mac User group meeting ten days ago, we were trying to remember the name of an arrogant arsehole of a member who ran a Mac & photographics business 12 years ago. Then about 5 days back, his nam came to me in a sudden flash, as such things tend to do. So I headed to my User Group magazine archive and hunted up a 12-yr-old issue (I have copies of all the magazines ever produced) and was able to find the now-defunct business name amongst the list of advertisers.
@matigo I'm going to find a golf club & bung the things back onto their side of the footpath. The careless child has left he bicycle helmet closer to my place than hers for the last ten days. Would it be inappropriate for me to dump cat poop in it?
The vile arsehole bastard slut of a child next door has been squeezing lemon juice from the windfall lemons again. How do I know this? Because the horrid little cunt has chucked the shells all over my section of lawn amidst the other windfall lemons.
I'm very angry about it.
@thrrgilag Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw once: "So many pedestrians, so little time."
@streakmachine BigPhoneCompany. My employer for over 30 years. Formed in 1975 as the telecommunications branch of the former PostMaster General's department. The Postal side being mis-handled by Australia Post. I bet they were up all night coming up with that name. Telstra was initially called Telecom, then absorbed another government-owned coms mob, OTC & was called AOTC, then the Telstra name was chosen.
Or plucked out of someone's arse.

@streakmachine knock it off with the flapping gums already. You remind me of a politician.
Pencil art with a difference. The pencil is the medium. The art form is sculpture. http://www.geek.com/news/artist-carves-elephant-landscape-from-a-pencil-1661048/
