People who use this site as some kind of weird version of Google.
'How much do kitchen tiles cost?'
'Who was the actor in XXXXXXX?'
'Looking for a pub in East Dribbling?'
Here's an idea - try finding the answer for yourself?

and after getting all the players on and screwed down, I realised that they were the wrong way around.

Email - it was supposed to make our lives better, more efficient etc. I have had over 50 emails today some of which are pointless and/or nothing to do with me.
If someone sends an email to someone else that just says "thanks" they don't need to copy me in
In my view a lot of it is arse covering - "Well I copied in [X]...", so that [X] is somehow complicit if the sIf someone sends an email to someone else that just says "thanks" they don't need to copy me in
t hits the fan, even though they didn't ask [X] to do anything specific in relation to the email in question.Europa1 said:

Even if we take the word "libraries" to mean public libraries, excluding academic libraries and school libraries, in the USA, the home of Starbucks, there are 16,000+ public libraries and just 12,800 branches of Starbucks.
The sign may as well say "I wish I could demolish thousands of libraries", which isn't really a great message to have on the wall of a library.

You may be thinking a bit far ahead there. The simplistic apothegm is aimed at those with a similar IQ to that of the person who wrote it, not someone with your lofty intellect.Even if we take the word "libraries" to mean public libraries, excluding academic libraries and school libraries, in the USA, the home of Starbucks, there are 16,000+ public libraries and just 12,800 branches of Starbucks.

My local library stocks comic books and is based in a 'Neighbourhood Hub', or, to you and me, a leisure centre.

Clearly comic books are below even your lofty intellect. My local library stocks comic books and is based in a 'Neighbourhood Hub', or, to you and me, a leisure centre.

Was that on a UK library wall? As the UK has over 4000 libraries and in 2015 there are 791 Starbucks coffee shops.Even if we take the word "libraries" to mean public libraries, excluding academic libraries and school libraries, in the USA, the home of Starbucks, there are 16,000+ public libraries and just 12,800 branches of Starbucks.
