* In an unfortunate bus related incident this lunchtime the headphone wire was ripped from its socket on my Zen. Although nothing appears to be broken after close examination I can't get any sound out of the headphones even though the player seems to be playing fine. I'm not at home to check if I can still get sound through my stereo from it to determine if this is a player or headphone problem. Either way I can't think about it too much as the thought that my beloved Zen may be broken is more distressing than I can bear. Feel free to post comforting things to me here. Thanks

I had a similar problem with my MP3 Jukebox. It turns out that I'd damaged the headphone socket, but luckily it has a line-out socket which is pretty much the same, but without the annoying noise-limiter. Of course it could just be your headphones...

I'm hoping it's the headphones but I fear it's the socket. I don't have a line out on mine unfortunately, but as the player's new at least it will be covered by the warranty I guess? I hope. I'll have to dig it out tonight and check it out This must be a common occurance though, right?

My bag is a real treasure trove because it contains unbelievable amounts of crap which I periodically discover whilst having a bored rummage through it in the doctor's waiting room/train station/take-away pizza place. What I know it contains is:
Wallet
Phone with camera
Article written by Martin Lindstrom, Danish branding guru
Vibrating Smurf key chain I once got with a Happy Meal with the key to my old flat
Pale blue pouch containing an assortment of tampons and panty liners (yes, a girl does need an assortment)
8 tiple A batteries
Car ownership papers
Swipe card for my office
An assortment of stamps
A small yellow toy chick that Turbo Man gave me for Easter 6 years ago and has been at the bottom of every bag I've owned since then

Congratulations to Uber Trick for the first use of the words "soft as butter" on this thread. You would have got top cliche points for buttersoft and maxed out if you'd said "mint green luella baby giselle" at any point.
Incidentally, for handbag content obsessives, Handbag had a thread on this recently, which did mention those words.
I can't draw much conclusion from it apart from:
a) They're much better groomed over there.
and
b) People have tampon holders you know. I haven't seen one of those since 1989.

b) People have tampon holders you know. I haven't seen one of those since 1989.
a.) I would say better groomed but not batter raised. Look at this choice moment:
quote:Originally posted by shoejunkee: Car Keys (for my brand new Mitsibushi Grandis, my baby!!!!) daughter's school dinner money bill (that I must pay!)
She has a new car, but hasn't paid for her daughters dinner yet. No shit about the new baby. The old baby is going to have to eat a tax disc sandwiched between two Magic Trees.
and b.) Is that because in 1989 the EU standardised sizes and products can't cope with your exotic tampon selection?

If you're going to be picky about it, I could point out that someone has "a small amount of something smokeable" in the bottom of their handbag.
Add that to the multiple bottles of mineral water, lashings of handcream and the scurrilous crap contained in the copy of Now which is in my handbag today and you've practically got a party.

Astromariner
Going the right way for a smacked bottom
ancient, frayed, horrible hemp purse with a yin/yang symbol on it that my mum gave me in 1993
1 copy Lies, and The Lying Liars who Tell Them: a fair and balanced look at the American Right
1 week old copy of Now! Magazine
5 loose batteries (dead)
large selection of one, two, and five pence pees
1 fine coating of face powder from broken powder compact
I was waiting for Astrobag. It's like I imagine any scatty persons bag to be. Do you remember your 'russian bag' technique? i.e. pulling a smaller bag out of your handbag until eventually after 5 succesive smaller bags produced what could only be described a purse that would only succeed in warming a 50p piece?
That's the only Stephen King book I've ever managed to read all the way through. I liked it!
Somehow, and I have no idea how, I managed to get through both this and Stephan king's Desperation in a week while on a holiday in the sun. Even when most of my days were spent lounging by the pool, that’s an awful lot of reading for me to do in a week.

It seems ok so far, once you get over King's style. I've only read one of his other books, which was a collection of short stories including one about a chap who builds some kind of trap in the road and buries someone alive in their car. I can't remember why, but I quite enjoyed that. Maybe it was because I was in Germany...

Oh I read that. It's OK, I guess. Much better than his other collection 'Everything's Eventual', although that one does have a good bit about Steve getting hit by a truck. I also read his book 'On Writing', which my previous boss leant me in a kind but misguided attempt to help me write my own book. 'On Writing' is pretty rubbishy, and as advice ben's comment sums it up best: "probably does more harm than good".

Not that I've any right at all to make that call, given that my recent contributions have had all the meat and taste of a Maccy D's veggie burger.

Louche's shaming confession of the day: I've read everything Stephen King has ever written. Not only that, someone shoplifted them all for me.

Obviously, I later donated them all to a library to make up for this horrific moral lapse. I'm not all bad.

Subversive tag writer in action. Always good to see.
One that bugs me at the moment is 6Music's growly voiced, "6Music, closer to the music that matters." What's that supposed to mean? It's usually followed by me reaching for the off button and going in the other room to get a bit of "the music that definitely does matter" to put on the CD player.

I hear he's aiming for the younger immature audiences these days so maybe Dude!, where’s my axe would be more appropriate.
