    Suggest a timewaster!

    I'm stuck in the house all day, waiting for TNT to deliver my new monitor. So, apart from haunting Hexus all day, what should I do? Any suggestions (within forum rules, that is ) welcome!

    It depends on whether his old monitor is still working, or if his new monitor is to replace it

    Its not really as if you can chill in the garden on this beautiful day, as you most likely not hear the door. As it is some of the delivery drivers don't tend to knock very loudly, as the last delivery I had I was carded, yet I was sitting no more than 10 feet from the door

    Ermm... Got any trilogys you've not seen for a while?

    Runes Of Magic?

    I've played it for about 12 hours so far and it's pretty good.

    Other than that get out in the garden and do some work on the grass

    Go down to your local Newsagents and get a magazine?

    That is such a copy of RuneScape

    Without spending more than 5 seconds on the website - An MMORPG set in medieval times where you fight monsters and gain items and skills? I suggest you play RuneScape, it'll probably be the same but much better. I've been playing it for 10 years and still not bored.

    Let me get my probability scale out to demonstrate... Nah, there's no point, it'd come while you were out for 2 minutes.

    Re: Suggest a timewaster!

    No books that you need to catch up on ?
    Friends / family you haven't called for a while ?
    I could see a chair outside with a good book and a cold beer would go down well.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Tricky to post on hexus without a monitor It's an upgrade, rather than a replacement

    Not really, and good lord no! (or more to the point, I have loads of family & friends I haven't called for a while, and I'm happy top keep it that way )

    And as for outside with a beer, I'd love to, or to do some gardening (really need to cut the grass and weed some of the vegetable beds) but I don't want to risk missing the delivery (it's a long house with a big garden )...
