doss Verb. To sleep rough. {Informal}
Noun. An easy task. E.g."That maths exam was a doss." {Informal}
dossdown Verb. To sleep rough. {Informal}
dosser Noun. 1. A person who sleeps rough, a homeless person. Derog.
2. A person who lives by exerting the least amount of personal effort. Derog.


i also ran across this one:

double bagger Noun. An ugly woman. So called because two bags would be needed to avoid having to see her during sex, one to cover her head, and one to cover ones own should her bag accidentally come off or rip.

OK - i take it ES IV works well on your machine? If so, how fast is your machine, how much memory does it have, and what is your graphics card?

Status: offline 		Ain't it? I only played it for those few hours just to make sure it ran okay and I'm having to almost force myself to finish Morrowind before I really play Oblivion. (I only bought Morrowind about a year ago. Maybe if I tell myself that I can't buy a new video card until I finish Morrowind that will help.)

The contractor blues continue. He has finished the floor and re-caulked. The only thing left is for him to replace the handles in the shower that he broke. I can't take a shower until I can turn the cold water on again. (Not that the hot water lasts for very long in this building in the first place but I'd still prefer to avoid even minor scalding.)

Hi Robert,

It runs very smoothly at medium detail levels, medium shadow levels, 800x600, no aniti-aliasing etc

I have:

Athlon XP3200 2.19Ghz
1 Gig RAM
128MB Radeon 9600 Graphics Card.

Can only imagine how great this would be with full spec machine

hmmm - my machine is a bit slower, but i think my graphics card has more memory. RAM is the same, so i think i'll try this out sometime (hopefully soon...)
