Click on the picture and then click on 'see larger image'. When this finally appears click on the http:// address then put it in between the images box on the message place... got that?  A |

Well so much for my early start! It's nearly 9:30 and I'm still in my pyjamas but at least I've had breakfast!
I'm not beating myself up about it because I obviously needed the extra time in bed and the relaxed breakfast, and I don't have to be in at all this morning, just want to sort some paperwork out before a short meeting this afternoon.

Me too - still in pyjamas and the chaps are going to arrive to change my windows any minute.
Damn I'm looking forward to that. Not to the chaps arriving you understand, to the new windows.

Well I'm showered and dressed but still unshaved and unlensed.
And the sky is getting darker and darker.
Should really get on and get out...

What's the difference between 'dependable' and 'reliable'? Can anyone think of a single sentence in which one can be used and not the other?
Apologies if I've asked this before. But then again, it's the waffle thread, right? And waffles have multiple little compartments in them where the blueberries, sometimes identical ones, tend to fall in.

For me dependable can have (although it doesn't need to) just the merest breath of a negative connotation which for me reliable can't, or can't as easily. (Both always do the job but with dependable I don't expect anything more and with reliable I expect nothing less. Sort of. A bit. Depends.) Anyone else? |

If that's all we can do I should like to thank you for expressing my own uncertainty about the subject so much better than I can. |

People tend to be dependable, machines reliable? "My car's old, but it's very dependable" doesn't quite work.

Works for me. I think Ollie's got something with the more positive less negative connotation of 'reliable', though.

trj , martle, and ollie, it's a very thin sliver of difference, is not it?
Can anyone come up with a more synonymous pair of words than reliable and dependable?
I cannot, though I love to waffle!
How about glitter and sparkle?
Edit: No that doesn't work, as shown in this sentence:
"If the magnifying glass doesn't ignite it, perhaps this sparkle."

I put her name in Google and I only got two replies (isn't there a game in which you try to get as few hits as possible.) This seems like a rather flippant response for the subject matter but yes, it's Googlewhacking. You're allowed two words that have to be recognised by the dictionary google uses and the aim is to get just one hit. It absorbed quite a few hours of my life for a little while 4 or 5 years ago, but it wears thin quite quickly. Unless you're Dave Gorman of course.  Me too, R2. Did you have any favourites? Tommo |
