Well... we could all do with a 24inch... and a bigger monitor :oops: :lol:
24"? Good God, what on earth would you do with one that big??! You'd need something bloody big to put it in! Like a great big cupboard, or a massive desk.
Sorry, what were *you* referring to? ;-)

Better than my FreeTranslation manglings! I sometimes think it's funny to translate phrases back and forth with FreeTranslation to see how much it mangles it! For example, I just tried it with the phrase "please pass the kippers", continually translating between English and German, and here are the English phrases is came back with for each subsequent translation:
1. Please pass the kippers -> Führen Sie bitte die kippers
2. Führen Sie bitte die kippers -> Lead please those of dump truck
3. Lead please those of dump truck -> Leitung gefallen denen des Kippers
4. Leitung gefallen denen des Kippers -> Please line those of the dump truck
5. Please line those of the dump truck -> Zeichnen Sie bitte die des Kippers
6. Zeichnen Sie bitte die des Kippers -> Draw please those of the dump truck
7. Draw please those of the dump truck -> Abgehobener Betrag bitte die des Kippers
8. Abgehobener Betrag bitte die des Kippers -> Amount taken off asks those of the dump truck
9. Amount taken off asks those of the dump truck -> Die entfernte Menge bittet um um die des Kippers
10. Die entfernte Menge bittet um um die des Kippers -> The distant quantity asks over for those of the dump truck
11. The distant quantity asks over for those of the dump truck -> Die entfernte Quantität bittet rüber um die des Kippers
12. Die entfernte Quantität bittet rüber um die des Kippers -> The distant quantity asks more rueber for those of the dump truck
13. The distant quantity asks more rueber for those of the dump truck -> Die entfernte Quantität bittet mehr rueber um die des Kippers
14. Die entfernte Quantität bittet mehr rueber um die des Kippers -> The distant quantity asks more more rueber for those of the dump truck
15. The distant quantity asks more more rueber for those of the dump truck -> Die entfernte Quantität bittet mehr mehr rueber um die des Kippers
16. Die entfernte Quantität bittet mehr mehr rueber um die des Kippers -> The distant quantity asks more more more rueber for those of the dump truck
After all of those it finally decided that the last one was definitely correct and kept producing the same one over and over again.
Now I can speak German too!
Die entfernte Quantität bittet mehr mehr rueber um die des Kippers!
