You forgot the clueless!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As software moves toward a subscription model similar to Monsanto's model of selling GMO seeds, expect more screen space for ads and intentionally bad UI, as customers spend more money when confused and agitated.

Oh, that reminds me:
Has anyone been watching "Braindead"? A couple of people have told me it's OK. Is it worth watching?

The Guardian review was a bit on the fence so I didn't indulge thinking I could do a binge watch later on if the messages were more positive. So I'll be just as interested in what anyone has to say m'sen.

My thoughts exactly.
Mind you, The Powerpuff Girls got good reviews, so I've got about 590 episodes of that to watch, first.

I just applied some good ol' percussion maintenance to my laptop's power brick, and it started working! For a while anyways. Open another application and it gives out again, but another whack and it starts right back up.
This will do until I get the new power brick I ordered from Asus (order should be processed Monday, and will likely arrive mid to late next week).

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I'm all for anthropomorphising my computers, I would tape an image of a nail to the area of the laptop where you whack it and put a hammer beside the keyboard.

In US, bars (i.e., pubs) usually are associated with potato chips.
Leave it the inventive EU mind to come up with a way to do it differently than we do!

I can believe that, because no-one in their right mind would associate them with beer.

Yup. I heard you can get good beer in the Netherlands . . . Sam Adams, Saranac, and Dog Fish Head[^], for example.
Oh - wait - you're lucky to be able to import these from the US!

You heard wrong.
"Gnat's pee" would be a better description than "good".

You get an up-vote for giving me a new expression when I share my comments at the dinner table.
Do you have another level down for stuff like Coors, 'Bud', &etc. ?

You should ask Australian members for "opinion-based" names for foreign beers -- just ignore everything they say about English beer.
