Re: The mighty Mini
Ok, you see theres this thing called a job right - you go to it 5 days a week, during 9am-5pm usually. During this time you are working, and not at home. This generally is a sh*tty situation, which puts you in the mood not to do things afterwards, or not leave enough time.Technikhaus wrote:Why do people always have to wait until the weekend?
