The Low Down on Body Kits

January 29, 2009May 14, 2014  |  Miscellaneous  |  My Stream hit the tarmac as it exited the car park at Thomson Medical Centre last week. The slope as you exit to Thomson Road is way too steep. The underside edge of the front left-side bumper got scratched. Quite a lot of it got ...

Fighting With Microsoft Word

January 23, 2009June 4, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  It’s amazing how difficult it can be to use Microsoft World. It works for simple few pages documents. But once you have hundreds of pages, with lots of massive drawings and annotations, it becomes quite painful. It’s ...
