1. When a computer is being used in a TV drama, does it make those funny little beeping noises. Real computers don't make those noises!
2. When someone publishes a lookalike of someone, do they swap over the names underneath the photo?
3. Why do you never see white dog poo anymore?
4. Why do shops never sell single packets of Beef monster munch, but always disgusting Pickled Onion?
Little questions that you don't know the answer to...

I've always noticed it takes just as long for a TV/computer screen to switch on when in standby as opposed to being switched off completely.
Why don't people just switch it off completely (that's what I do) ?

I used to see one occasionally when pidgeons nested on our balcony for a year or so and got a bit frisky. Some of them had the "Aww ... how cute" factor, whilst others were just plain ugly!Why do you never see baby pigeons ?
because it DOES start up faster (5 secs compared to 50 secs) and eveything is how you left it.Chris wrote: I've always noticed it takes just as long for a TV/computer screen to switch on when in standby as opposed to being switched off completely.
