I use a USB cord extender so that I can sit on the sofa without pulling out the connection. It could just be that your batteries need to be recharged.

I will consider the USB option when it comes time to get a new Keyboard. I think the batteries may be getting low. It is hard to judge 'cause the indicator shows full, then suddenly the batteries are flat.

Very true Billy Bob. At least I don't have to wait for the service man to came and fix it.

Re: Hello Australians - masterchef 2010

Of course I have no interest in this show, any more than my wife or daughters would have interest in a show about hardware or electronics (if there were any - have you ever noticed that television tends to cater almost exclusively for women's interests?) We each have our God-appointed roles and we adhere to them religiously.

Of course if there was a show about barbies, I'd watch that. Not that I need to be taught how to toss a shrimp or a koala on the barbie - it's a God-given skill in men.

With a name like whitchetty grub, no True Christian™ would ever eat it.

We leave it for pirates and other less sophisticated tribes.

Your intent is, as always, pure, Charli, but for once () the meatball muncher is right - no doubt as a direct result, as you rightly say, of their preference for weevil and maggot-infested food.

"Whitchetty grub" is what we whitepellas incorrectly call these grubs (no blackpella would ever use the term - the name varies from region to region). And while they are generally eaten raw, they're delicious if tossed on the barbie, too. If you're ever down my way I'll serve you up some - I'm sure you'll change your mind.

(The story of my childhood among the blackpellas will need to wait for another time. Suffice it to say I escaped, though I gained knowledge about more than just playing the didgeridoo.)
