    Ahoi neckpain! More then 3 monitor make no sense for home-use when you're not doing stock trading, flight sim, or other weird stuff. You are either get confused or don't really use one or two of your screens.

    My now, considerably less awesome battlestation, of my Laptop, keyboard, mouse and headphones on top of a set of drawers with a normal chair behind it. Not ideal.

    On the other hand, if I turn my head to the left...

    Yeah, today's is on my bed. Idk why, I'm pretty religious about getting my newspaper every day, and I was overjoyed when I found out I could get The Times over here, on the day it actually gets printed, rather than other english newspapers which are always delayed by 2 days.

    I bet they use carrier pigeons to deliver it...
    or you know ... l'internet to send it to print office XY like most serious world supplying newspapers :headshot:
    What kind of joke is a newspaper delivered a day late? An OLDSPAPER?
    and when it's 2 days late? ... A ... RECYCLINGPAPER???? Oh snap ...

    no, don't say it, I know it's not funny, neither is a newspaper delivered 2 days late, but it sure is a sick joke, I wouldn't even bother ordering it if it were free, so wtf britain?!

    If it's going to be printed properly, the owner of the paper has to set up printing press in the respective countries. And for them to do that, it has to be economically viable. Most British newspapers are about, and this is going to shock you... Britain. Thus they aren't printed heavily in countries without a large British presence, but they are in places like South Spain, where there's loads of expats. There aren't a huge number of British people in this area, so they don't bother. The Times is more global and has a lot of non-British readers, as well as being more focused on global affairs, rather than British affairs. I mean, this paper is slightly different to the UK version, it has bits taken out, added in, etc, it's more localised to the Middle East and Asia.

    There's also the fact that a lot of British newspapers put topless women on Page 3. They don't like that out here. The papers imported from Britain with said women, usually have their boobs scribbled out with a black marker pen before they go on sale.

    In short, you haven't travelled enough.

    Also Cyberkiller, that's just how a desk should be, nice and clean. I fucking love it.

    Cyberkiller showing correct mouse usage, Trickster's attempt is poor.

    Go Logitech or go home.

    Who cares? My statement was based on a "serious world wide supplying newspaper"
    If you decide to read toiletpaper instead, that's hardly my fault.

    And my point was, the Times is worldwide, but more British oriented newspapers are not, hence they arrive a couple of days late.
