Thats about ten times faster than me. I type fast, but its the going back and correcting that takes the time, specially as I use my phone fir nearly. everything.

Ahh, I hate devices that don't have a proper keyboard. Mobile phones with touch screens are just the worst. Oh, and my mother, who's nearly eighty, was a secretary and learned to type on a manual typewriter. When I was learning to touch-type I used a CD-ROM disc that had exercises where you could test your speed and accuracy. I hit sixty wpm with 98% accuracy, but mother managed over 100 wpm with 100% accuracy. But it sounded like a gattling gun being fired and she broke my keyboard.

Didn't the Americans steal one of those from a U-Boat in a fantasy movie?

Oh, and to keep it simple, Google translate says he means that I am both Hochschulabschluss und Polizisten, which sounds like a substance dependancy when said in English.

Some times you can just SO tell you're a copper!

It's like talking to my missus when she mentions "chalk boards" and "pen boards" <sigh>

Sadly, political correctness is everywhere. I was just talking about this to an honest, hard working member of the travelling community the other day...

Yeah, you can't call them Nut Houses any more, you have to call them Mental Health Institutions.

It's Madness gone Politically Correct!

It's beautiful. The engine and drive train were prepared by Hans Christian Andersen and the bodywork was trusted to the Brothers Grimm. It was coated in tree sap and then pressurized and heated. It is real amber. The upholstery is made from the scrotums of 1,000 unicorns. Each night it is parked in a little garage made out of ginger bread. That isn't overspray, it's fairy dust.

I've heard that one but it just seems too far fetched. There are rumours that there is a tailor in Gloucester that has one that was built by mice.
