I worked on a 6 month contract at Sony starting in February, and I got a chance to start working with coding apps in Win 8.
My issues are 20% UI and 80% development. I hate it.

I tried it on a desktop without a touch screen - who the heck wants a touch screen, if you can't use a keyboard and mouse you should use a track-pad or track-ball. ...I use my phone to make phone calls - and I refused the touch screen version as you never know if you are going to call something expensive from your back pocket!
Windows 8 was a pain on a regular PC like most people have - I would detail the ways but it doesn't rate the effort, especially since so many others have covered them.

I absolutely agree with this statement! Over three years with it and it still feels new. I think you also have to credit the performance of modern hardware.

What gets me is the assumption of stupidity on the part the readership of The Independent - "Here is a picture of a police horse, in case you don't know what one looks like, and here is one of a sausage roll, in case you have never been to Greggs".

Congrat. I took me 13 months to sell my Pontiac GTO so I definitely understand the feeling of finally getting it sold and cash in the pocket. Unfortunately, I did what the Government does and put the money in the general fund (bank) so it promptly merged with my day-to-day affairs. I am too much of an adult.
Our only hope is that you get p*ed(that's the British term for wasted right)and then blow it all in one weekend and tell us about it.

Last week, friend enemy of mine booked ticket for Stolen[^] without me. First I rejected that but finally I had to go. Watched that damn movie. And it reminded his previous movies(Gone in 60 Seconds, Con Air, Matchstick Men, etc.,). Most of the scenes are cliches & predictable.
Previously that friend killed my day by inviting for the movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Recent Cage movies sucks(Exception : Kick-Ass).
Don't know why Cage chose these kind of scripts(?) & why my friend chose me for Cage movies???

Con Air gets a pass for having Steve Buscemi and John Malcovitch in super-awesome roles.

One of two lines I was ythinking when I wrote that comment
Other was the "Define you're cliche, Mother held him too much - or not enough" one
