Serve 'em right for making it too damn hard then.
OK - maybe three in a row unanswered & they get banned for life ?

What if it's one of those 'how didn't I see that' ones where people kick themselves when they see the answer. Just to muddy the waters further.

then the poster better start giving clues out if the time draweth near.
For example, I based my one yesterday (abdicate) on the anniversary of Ed VIII abdication - so I could have give a clue to avoid punishment.
Don't worry - my next one is a doozy!

And we have a winner! Your turn Monday... 
For the record, what I originally thought was:
Most perfect
one of five QUIN (as in Quins, five children in teh same pregnancy)
char T (as in "a cup of char", tea)
is the crucial element! ESSENCE (as in the dictionary definition: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/essence)

Being somewhat antipodean, fitting in with your times may be difficult, so i reserve the right to post early (during Monday work hours my time) giving you Poms, Yanks and other Johnny foreigners longer to unravel my devious clues... The finish time can still be 13:00 UTC

A game I play, the action RPG Path of Exile is ramping up for a major content update in a bit less than a day. Lots of I'm Bored silliness is going on while everyone waits for a detailed listing of all the changes; some much better than others. This is epic:
Twas The Night Before Patch Notes[^]
(More than a few inside jokes; but I think it stands well on its own.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Oh yeah, he is certainly expressing himself there!

I played Path of Exile when it was released.
Apart from the huge massive skill tree; it was a arduous game to play (IMO)
I'd rather be phishing!

How far back did you try it: closed beta, open beta, or nominal release?
Things're a lot more polished now than in CB or even early in OB; but since I'm not sure what you mean by arduous I can't say if the updates since then have done anything about what you didn't like.

I have to load it up again; I'm not certain it is still installed. (will check at home tonight)
If I remember correctly, using gems was weird; combat worked OK; the interaction in the towns was not well done; graphics were not that good.
As I said, I need to revisit this.

I need to run a process on my work laptop overnight, so setup TV earlier so I could keep an eye over it from home over a beer but now I can't access it. I didn't bother to set a password, I just used the default code they provide.
Does anybody know if that expires/changes after a few hours? Can't figure out if the code has expired or my laptop has restarted because of updates or something.
Really can't be assed going back to work to restart the process (cycling, in teh rain, after a few beers, boo!), but if the code doesn't expire I will have to.
Cheers
Edit: Still CBA going back to the office, will be able to confirm what the deal is in the morning though, stay posted (if you could care less(which you don't))!

So you're responsible for all of the...er...adult material...in my browsing history?
Because I'm somewhat sure it wasn't me...

Well, "responsible" is somewhat ambiguous in this context! Did I put it there? Absolutely not! Did I produce it? Certainly not in the UK 'cause that sort of thing is just plain illegal now!

Normally doesn't change until TeamViewer is restarted. Your laptop may have gone to sleep.

I am really begin to question my powers of observation. I just noticed that Dilbert (By Scott Adams) has no mouth. Is there anyone who follows Dilbert and had noticed this? It took me 6 month to notice.
