TempusWanker
Is Tempusfugit a Wanker?!
"Wanker" is a Brit derogatory term describing someone who is generally too full of themselves.
From the word Wank or to masterbate!
In some useages it is a term of endearment, or poking light hearted fun at someone. TF has called Jamie Oliver a "Wanker" - he may talk a bit like him (being an Essex lad) but he is mainly jealous of his success!
Is the term appropriate?
Probably! but he wears the moniker with pride!
Too many words????? --- again, probably a fair comment. However, at least TF has taken the time to put his words in a place that can be found when you make a search!

Probably a FutureShop sales associate! (or an employee of another "box" store) - now there is a career for you! (a far worse insult tban calling someone a Wanker!)
This is evidenced by the apparent lack of reading skills and the quickness to jump to a solution because he is an "expert!"
TF would hazard a guess that he (or his friends) problems with an X60 stem from the installation of WindowsXP on a Vista pc. A recipe for disaster if you don't know what you are doing! He would put him in the "Vista Sucks - Full stop!" crowd.
The Quote:
Dear Mister Snake -- thank you for the prompt response. It (the Tempus-gotta-be-somewhere-over-the-rainbow) plan is scary (to this total wanker it appears to be a good plan but far too many words!).
And as big as 28 GB's is it ain't this ThinkPads main problem which is a display that is just screwed in any but XP's "safe mode".
Think happy thoughts like Sky's Are Blue!
With signature that says: "Rats in the hold. Crews all dead. I fear the end is near..." from someone who is classified as a "Gerbil First Class" - p645n sounds like an authority to me!
