This happened to me (also pissed). Put it in a drawer. Then a few weeks later I took it out and tried to drop it again in exactly the way I dropped it before. It started working. Really. Try it.

I was in Somalia yesterday. Seriously. Hairy, hairy. People I spoke to there say things like this happen all the time but it's rarely reported. Normal rules (even normal Sharia rules) don't apply in Somalia and anyone who says they have a clue what's going on there or where it's going is...

Anyone know where I could get one fixed sharpish? I'm only home for Christmas and next week I'll be heading back somewhere there's no chance at all at all of getting it fixed. The T, Y and 5 keys have stopped working. Might be some water involved, too... Am I screwed?

Funny this. I live in Ethiopia, and a few weeks ago after a little too much khat chewing and beering, I tried a lot of these jokes out on my Ethiopian friends. And, yeah, they laughed their nubian princess brains out. They can be fierce aggressive when you slag off their country, though. Like...

No, I'm still around. Back browsing Thumped again. "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." I'm a journalist so I'm heading there on a story. Supposed to be tracking down child soldiers. Bone-bending job. I'm getting a lift into DRC and then I'll be flown about on rickety Soviet...

Would have been just before I headed off again. Tough to laze around on Thumped from the third world. But this dropped in my inbox today on one of those 'someone has replied to etc etc' I'm in Ethiopia at the moment but going to Burundi on Sunday and then driving into the DR Congo's notorious...

Vouched. But have you checked out FTV Arabia? That's the good shit.

What's the bloke from Seoige and O'Shea doing there on the left?

I've been going to the same bloke since I was 16 - Mark in the Grafton Barber on Pembroke St, across from the Pembroke pub near the corner with Baggot St. That's the fifth shop I've followed him to... He's the boss man there and he'll listen to exactly what it is you want. He'll also cut your...

Try this

God I miss that class. We used to chuck a load of mercury on the floor before the class started and then watch the teacher try to pick it up for the entire forty-minute duration, swearing and blustering all the way. Still the funniest thing I've ever seen.

I was cooking - making, whatever - some popcorn in my ma's house there a few years ago. When the popcorn was made, I picked up the pot in my hand then realised that I hadn't got any bowls. Looking around for somewhere to put the pot while I got the bowls, I decided the floor would be grand...

Snowing pretty heavily in Tallaght for the last half hour. Were I twenty years younger I'd be worried that it wouldn't quite pass the day off school test. It's sticking all right, but you can still see grass poking out the top at the moment. But like in Templeogue, children have deemed it...

First album I ever bought with my own money. Golden Discs in Grafton St when I was eight. Remember sittting in my cousin's kitchen endlessly rewinding the "Fuck off" bit from "It's so easy". Don't think it ever got old. Oh, and asking my babysitter why a robot would pull off a woman's knickers.
