OT: Grrr... I crashed my computer ...

[Adrian C]

Grr... I've crashed my computer..

.. off the table top, caught a corner of it with my nightshirt and in that wierd expansion of time where everything happens next in super-slow motion, managed to grab a hefty VGA cable and suspend the whole naked affair inches from final damnation with the unforgiving ground. The VGA backplane slot is now untwisted and the triple hard drive laden machine thankfully still boots.

And I've scored a rut in my nicely plastered and painted wall, so I'll have filling that to add to the list. Or, maybe just go back to bed.

What next of dread will happen today I wonder. Should I drive?

[Bernard Peek]

Driving should be OK. Putting may be a problem.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm probably as old as any on here and never worn a nightshirt. Now I know why. ;-) Are they a new fashion?

[Steve Firth]

Not in your nightshirt, Wee Willie Winky.

[The Natural Philosopher]

in today's uncertain energy climate, they are at least a way to get out of bed without suffering instant hypothermia. They may yet return.

it's been fashionable for the young, ahem, "ladies" (and I use the word advisedly) around here to go out in their jim-jams and slippers. They even go shopping in them.

As for a nightshirt, I've always preferred to sleep naked.

[Tim Streater]

Personally I wear jim-jams when its cold. Trouble with nightshirts, that SWMBO wears, is they get all twisted up so when she turns over there is an earthquake with aftershocks as she sorts it out again. This lets lots of cold air in and dislodges the cats. One of the cats insists on lying lengthways down my side and takes forever to settle.

[Owain]

Well, at least it didn't land on your toes.

PS I'd stay in bed on Friday.

[Brian]

Me too - doesn't disturb your/your partner's sleep when you turn over and have to sort out the clothing, and has the added bonus (in my case at least) of frightening off any burglars :-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Adrian C saying something like:

There's your problem - dressing up like Ebeneezer Scrooge in the Summer.

[Roger Chapman]

Didn't realise that you were an OAP Dave.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

I'm still actually a 20something. With a stranger staring out at me from the mirror.

[ARWadsworth]

Does it stop the wife pinching the duvet at 2am?

[Dave]

So have I, until recently, when I started to put on a pair of underpants to stop my more sensitive dangley bits from sticking to my thighs and waking me up from the sheer (as in sheer as opposed to tension) force to make them let go,

I know, I know, information overload, sorry. :-)

[Bob Eager]

Talcum powder.

Or WD-40.

Or (I suppose) an angle grinder.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Oh dont worry.

By he time you get to 60, there is no part of your body that hasn't been poked probed and penetrated by googling NHS staff.. a couple of post-it bollocks hardly cuts the mustard..

[The Natural Philosopher]

Freudian slip..or is hat a psychological nightdress.

Nothing stops any wife from pinching the duvet at 2am. I'm semi seriously tempted to go back to good, old fashioned, blankets and sheets which can be firmly tucked in to prevent midnight theft.

[Steve Walker]

How many wives have you tried and who's were they?
