OK - not really a dad joke but not sure where else it could go

In other news A man who took an Airline to court over his missing luggage It has just been announced that he has lost his case

Taking my wife to the Reading festival she just loves books so it'll be a real treat for her

I saw a sign in Tesco: 5p OFF I thought they'd started selling Enid Blyton books.

:welcome: welcome

experience, views typing mistakes, random semi colons and great stories that everyone likes but mostly a community which is friendly and all are welcome (if they stick to the rules) and contributions are valued views of ex-technicians can be as valuable as those of current techies it is up to you

Retired people are allowed on here as you might have noticed - it is just that 'some of us' tend towards the less technical threads

there is a slight possibility that this might be true ;-) sometimes

It is a keyboard fault I submit the following evidence a) it is fine in my head - it just comes out wrong on the screen b) it never happens if I use a proper keyboard - just the laptop Hence - not my fault

Illuminating! (Ok - took me 3 goes to see what the 'joke; was - but it's me - what do you expect

As opposed to the original installation

As I get older I find that I only need three shops - SpecSavers, Boots and Greggs. My life is just specs, drugs and sausage rolls. and as an added extra I REALLY want to do that

Reminds me of a typewriter (yes - THAT long ago) that my Dad ordered a long time ago When it arrived it had a label on it saying the keys were inside the case Turned out that the case was locked he had to ring the sales rep who came out with a master key

Thought I had got the kids quietly playing Scrabble Left them for a coupld of minutes and they started arguing and throughing the letters at each other I ended up shouting "Stop that it dangerous - someone could loose an I"

dunno why I thought I should post that one:o

I think that is quite common - I listed my old ebike on Guntree for £400 next day got a phone call offering £200 - he got quite abusive when I said he would have to increase the offer - seemed to think that if I was selling it them I must be desperate for the money and should go down on my knees thanking him for his generosity

I ordered a box of Uranium from Amazon Terrible service - it arrived 4.46 billion years last and it was half full and I'm not sure of the free cat was working or broken

Due to teh weather we have been sitting outside in the evening more than before Last year we would see quite a few small birds around this year - not one Magpies are still around as are the pigeons - but the robins, sparrows, wrens and blue tits are just not here and we haven't heard a woodpecker this year Strange

Too late I started on that one

Exact opposite of the topic but some time ago I rearranged my bank accounts and accidentally cancelled several charity direct debits we have decided to re-instate them but sending the money to the local Food Bank after seeing several things saying they are having problems becuase of people who would normally donate - having to cut back Also - I have seen several articles saying it is better to send them money rather than directly donating food the reason is that the money allows them to re-stock with what they need NOW and also allows then to buy in bulk and save money For those than can afford it I suggest you think about helping out other comments about Food Banks deleted for amphibious reasons

Not for me I would recognise Kylie but Neighbours was always the show that would make me switch the telly off and find something better to do I always tend to try to avoid soaps - especially the foreigh ones - as they can get addictive unlike 'Find It, Fix It Flog It" which is awesome and now I've found "Junk and Disorderly" send help!!!

There has just been an announcement about a major development in air safety a new manufacturing concept has been developed so that when a plane crashes, instead of smashing in bits and busting into flames the newly designed aeroplane just bounces back into the air The new aircraft is called the Boing 747

Difficult to tell as I havn't read the book - didn;t even know there was one to be honest! Also don;t want to do any spoilers for people who want to watch it - but the main God character seems to be alive again and his son maybe or maybe not

Thanks I think this is a point that most people are not aware of - so I take the view that it is best to assume that cars etc will generally assume that you will stop for them If I am driving I will generally try to slow down enough for the cyclists to cross before I get there - if I can

Just finished the 3rd series of American Gods didn;t have much expectations of it but thought I would give it a go MUCH better than I expected until the end of Series 3 thought it ended it all up with a wonderful set up for a great last series which is how the writers saw it - and expected it to go until is was cencelled at the last minute so they couldn;t even try to tidy it up in the last one of Series 3 what a pain - still great ending
