It could be worse - the list could include an old carpet, a shovel, and quicklime.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

After a quick google, I realise that I indeed should!

Ah, so that's who/what this "Lucille" is.
Someone else referred to her/it, earlier, but I had no idea what he was talking about.

You really need to start watching the Walking Dead.

I watched most of the first three seasons.
That was more than enough to determine that it's utter cr@p.

My grandkids managed not to wreck anything with a rigid foam toy cricket bat. I'm guessing you might find something suitable in a dollar shop.

For a small fee, lets say some rare footage of a colleague going postal on his cow-orkers, I would be happy to turn a clue-bat for you made of wood. I'd recommend beech, or maple. 
Cheers!

Yeah, after they stopped selling tuits, we must find something else.
I was lucky and got hold of about a dozen of them, but they were of the square type, not the round ones, not suitable for everything. And I've only got a few left.
Maybe clue bats can replace them, but I sure would like someone to start manufacturing tuits again.

Mycroft, I laughed when I read this.
I called mine a "Feature Stick" while visiting Norway. Smacked the table pretty good.
Warned people what happens when they start coming in asking for features!
But it is soft, and we had a lot of fun. They promised to use it on me if we had bugs!

Hope this is it!

Uh a "clue bat" ? You're kidding, aren't ye ? See, that stuff is totally off-standard and so has been for years now, if you need an educational helping device, you'd better pick something which is conform to RFC-2321, not only it will be useful to educate users, but it will also be of help with networking and computing issues

I personally use a stuffed vinyl hammer from Chuck-E-Cheese. Also acts well as a gavel during meetings.
But is a bat is your thing there is a wide selection of inflatable ones here:

I am guessing you must be from the UK.

Why on earth I have to spend a half an hour tho get rid the Microsoft Office Upload Center, that I didn't asked for at the first place and that can not do nothing in any case as I have no target account to upload to!!!
$%^# &@$ Microsoft!!!
-- EDIT --
After getting rid of it, just learned, that it is probably (not confirmed a 100%) an other attempt to get some telemetry data uploaded to MS...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

why don't you share how you did it?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Offhand, I can't think of anything scarier.
Maybe I will write a horror novel, after all.
