They are difficult to use.

They give you a painful wrist.

They give you a sore finger.

They could possibly give you a guitar style callus on your favored finger.

They cause you to accidentally click links leading to the Official Dolly Parton website ( http://www.dollyparton.com/ )

They are very difficult to use with slightly damp hands.

They are responsible for making me seem a worse poker player than I usually am because of causing me to incorrectly bet when I should fold.


My mouse broke earlier and I have been forced to use my touchpad.

Does anyone actually use these things all the time?

I am resiisting the temptation to change your post into something rude!

I use a touchpad all the time - no problems with it.  Not had the Dolly Parton thing yet.

I often incorrectly bet when I should fold and vice versa, the vast majority of the time it's feck all to do with me using the touch pad though.

I use the touchpad all the time but had to turn off the 'tap to click' option as I had made a few misclicks (well that was my excuse)

Just after you have washed your hands, they are still damp even after drying them unless you have a fan.  I prefer mouse control.

Thank you for posting the link to Dolly Parton's website. Yay Dolly! Jen and I have been to Dollywood, you know. Awesome day out.

With a thread title like this from anyone else, I would have bet £1 against £10 that a hand history would be involved.

From Sark though, it's obviously going to be a treatise of sorts.

Every hand history of mine shows I played the hand poorly and I am crap.   I could include one if you want if it will add to the thread?   Or I could tell everyone a penguin joke instead.   



What does a penguin mother say to her kids before they leave for School?

If your mouse breaks at an inconvenient time, a good temporary substitute can be made using a beef burger and a few strands of spaghetti.

I just googled for that Red and couldn't find a walk through on how to make one.  Does it matter if the beef burger is Asda smart price or does it have to be an expensive type of burger?
