I worked as a PA a few years back, and I'd do most of my work on my laptop, but would occasionally have to jump across to one of my boss' Apple Macs to send an e-mail from his account. The slight difference in keyboard size/layout would more often than not mean that I'd be chatting away whilst typing out an email, look to the screen, and see that I'd manage to hit the key above every single one I was aiming for, and just written a stream of gibberish. In light of this discussion, I just had a read about touch typing and it turns out I'm not a traditional touch typist. I'm apparently what they call a hybrid typist. So I can reach the same speed and accuracy as traditional touch typists but type in a different way. Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 26, 2018 What's the speed of a touch typist? I get 75wpm but my fingers are all over the place, like Branquey on an all-night rave. High accuracy too, very unorthodox. Quote
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Paid Members Posted January 26, 2018 Around 100wpm, I believe. Quote
Merzbow Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 You know that annoying paperclip dude from old Windows operating systems? His name is apparently Clippit, not Clippy. Quote

Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 Today I learned that the honeycomb in a Crunchie has no honey in it. It’s a type of toffee Quote

It’s a type of toffee Yeah, it's also called "burnt toffee" or "cinder toffee". It's basically caramel that's had baking soda put in it, then been left to cool and set. Quote
Steve Justice Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Crunchies are wank anyway. Toffee Crisp ftw. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted January 27, 2018 Moderators Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Crunchies are shit, but the crunchie ice cream bars are really nice. Or at least they were 20 years ago. But you gotta think they can't be that good if I haven't had one in that long... Edited January 27, 2018 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Oh I fucking hate Crunchies. Not had one in about 10 years, but my wife likes them. I just assumed by the name that it must have honey in. edit: just asked her and she assumed it was honey based. Blown her mind Edited January 27, 2018 by Nick Soapdish Quote
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 The fuck is wrong with you lot? Crunchies are the king of the Christmas selection box. Quote
Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 27, 2018 Paid Members Posted January 27, 2018 I like both Crunchies and Toffee Crisp. I also clean up at Christmas as I seem to be the only one in my family who likes Bounty bars too, so get everyone’s from their selection boxes and tins. Quote
