I am the proud owner of an iPhone. I also own a Dyson vaccum cleaner (hey - I'm a proud owner of that too). I've recently come across an amusing incompatability with these two items.
Whilst merrily vacuuming away over the last couple of months I had found that all of a sudden my Dyson would stop working - it would simply turn off. I have now discovered that this is due to the weighty nature of the iPhone and the specific height of the dyson power switch. Oh, and of course the fact that I keep the phone in my left pocket and I'm quite short. Basically every now and again the weight of the phone is enough to push the power switch down.
Has anybody else experienced similar or is this as I suspect just me?
…of common sense. Like many I despair at the lack of "common sense" exhibited by some people. It does appear to be dying "skill". Now, technically "common" would define the most, er, common type of sense to exist which means that really at least half of us must have more common sense than others to make it average. Please advise if you think you can help bring clarity to that statement. My blog postings will reflect my thoughts on this. I'm sure they'll deviate to other things from time to time.

Right of Way
Perhaps somebody can help me out here? I'm a little unclear to myself who has the right of way in the following circumstance.
Two cars arrive at junctions with the same main road. They are almost opposite each other but it's not a crossroad as they're slightly offset from each other. One car is turning left onto the main road (not having the cross the road). The other car is turning right (having to cross the road). My gut feeling is that the car turning left has the right of way as they don't cross the road. Is this correct?
