Oops, still not used to this keyboard

Well the keyboard on my laptop died. On this one I keep pressing buttons by mistake. For example whilst trying to write this I managed to open the favourites menu and go to the front page.

Laptop keyboards are the bane and curse of my existence. I am writing my philosophy coursework with one. I keep on going up a page when I want to italicise something.

I'd got used to my laptop keyboard, but now nothing happens if you press the buttons. he keyboard I'm using now has much more buttons on it and I end up leaning on them.

Bad luck.

I'm used to the ordinary keyboard. I like my space.

I seem to be quite good at wrecking things. I killed my mouse by somehow swinging it against the desk . Consequently I'm the proud owner of a h2g2 mousemat but don't have a single use for it.

c) the weasel way

te-he!!! You do realise i am known as "Belette" over here don't you?

Love the visual imagery of the poor being swung around!

A laptop would never work with me, not with a yoda!

It was a matter of space, universities often seem to think that a cupboard provides adequate living space.

"A cupboard? A cupboard????In MY DAY, we were grateful for the bottom drawer of the sideboard;"

*wonders about younger generation & hobbles off mumbling*

zdt "just call me dotage"

Yeah, I've heard as much.

Well I suppose if it's a big sideboard..

The size doesn't matter. Check the width of the planks though.

Well, I'm not moving into a sideboard in the foreseeable future but I'll bear that thought in mind should I do so in future.

Why not refer to "Family group name" Zulu senagalise ect ,not forgettimg ,european ethnic groups "Servents" many of which came with the settlelers, from generations of serfs ? servents?

Well, the thing is, quite often it's not known. Noone really kept any records.

But often facts can be obtained from ships manifest fully laden ships
returning to and from "slaves" appear as ballast ,todays studies into known tropical deseases typical to areas and tribal groups
in clusters throughout various provinces of states.have clues

These along with names given to second third generation a lot of these slaves as named property in the wills and court papers of the times in question, Takeing into account contempery reports by writers
as to customs and treatments practised anew if that make sense.

This is an awful lot of information that I simply don't have access too. And as soon as all are gathered into one place, language, tradition, and people will start mixing.

Also I need a collective term for *all* those of African descent, a collective noun. I'm going for general not specific, here.

having an article on wind power to writeSurely you jest
that if not any thing else should be oral
Or do you fluster when you bluster

How about "Non European Decent"
