As long as a lifetime. Though normally within a week or so.

I kind of hinted at that in my reply, saying that at 36, with no children yet and no romantic possibilities on the horizon, I'm unlikely to have kids (which is fine), and so, the untold generations' impact on the environment? Yeah, I'm not responsible for that.

FYI, my mate is 41 (with a mint original Esprit Turbo and bare-shell resto GT6 in the garage) married a 32 year old a couple of years ago and they have a 1yr old. So impact away.... ;)

I'm still holding out hope purely on that basis!

Lunch. Breakfast would have been the first meal after a prolonged period of fasting usually endured during sleep. If you've already fasted, and broken that fast, you have had breakfast. Had you not had a meal when you previously awoke, you could have called this meal breakfast.

ION: I found a small diary from 2002. It would have been during my first year of med school. It has some entries, largely related to a girl a had a mega-crush on. It was unrequited as she was never interested. Do I destroy it and forget the past? Do I transfer it electronically? I'm concerned about other people reading it.

I think destroying it is probably the healthy option. I think scanning it is a bit crazy because you're almost bringing it back to life, but I have thought about doing that myself.

I have a suitcase in the garage which contains something very similar, including letters and some really awful poetry.

I still have things like old school books under the bed in the spare room. I did throw away many of them, but the memories they brought back while I was trying to sort them out and thinking of all the effort that went into them it wasn't something I could throw away easily.

I'm in the middle of a huge clear-out at the moment. I shall be readdressing these things soon, and it's really no fun!

I have some diaries knocking around, they're just embarrassing, I'm gonna destroy them the next time I see them. I don't think it does any good to look back at all really, unless you've filled it with nothing but the good stuff. And I'd guess not too many people have/had the foresight :lol:

Yeah I found old love letters and such but these were about girls I really fancied as a young teen and who had no interest in me. Once I started going out, I didn't bother with the mushy stuff.

Hahaha I still have stuff from primary school! My mother found my "autobiography" that I'd done in class when I was ten. There were photocopies of photos that I'd coloured in. There were drawings of my family and the house. Stuff like that I'd keep but a few months back I chucked away all my school books. The only things I have left are from A-levels and I'm contemplating destroying them given they've not been used in over ten years. The reason I feel I can't is because it's the time I worked the hardest in my life. I had average GCSE grades (poor for a grammar school), and my A-level predictions were CDE in the three sciences. I worked my backside off for two years and came out with AAA.

I'm also contemplating destroying my med school notes. A few of my mates used to destroy theirs at the end of each year. I could never bring myself to do that but again, I've not touched them in over five years.

Lolz. I've spent varying amounts of time over the last three years trying to clear out the crap I've accumulated over the last ten years of my life. I had minimal stuff when I went to uni but came back with several car loads and moreso after my initial training. I've been going by the rule that if it holds no value and I've not looked at it in ten years, it gets binned. I want to be able to reduce everything I have to a max of two car loads.

How long before my connection can maintain a 1.4 MB/s connection downloading my digital copy of Prometheus on one machine and Mountain Lion on the other?

That's tragic, and not in the way Norris wants it to be :(
