Re: Speaking Of Ancient Storage Methods .....

This last paragraph stands on its own.

Get those pictures printed!

I could never drive then. Will never be able to solve complex maths problems, even after a year of abstinence, and I dare say there are others like me.

Autonomous vehicles are the answer. They can't come quick enough. If you'll pardon the expression ;)

Re: 37 Billions

£1B per week = £52B per year.

Or 37 weeks @ £1B = £37B.

Where did you get 3 years?

And to think I got a U for CSE maths in 1971.

Re: Annoying Exports?

But both of them came back, unfortunately, that makes them more like boomerangs than exports.

Re: Put a heater in the safe then ?

Wasn't it the IIci that could be dis-assembled without even using tools? Everything just unclipped. excellent piece of kit to work on.

Re: I'm still waiting

They are supposed to fill them in though. Not just leave them there as an additional free of charge 'lawn feature'.

Or were you implying an /s?

Re: @justenough

With the words Don't Panic written in large friendly letters on the front cover.

CBT?

Also known as a good kick in the balls - daily for the length of their 'sentence'.

Re: Good for them!

Craghoppers Kiwi trousers have had an 'inner' pocket in the leg map pocket for some years now.

A few years ago it was just big enough for an iPhone 3GS. Then a couple of years ago I bought another pair and it was big enough for an iPhone 4S. I have a Note 3 now but haven't bought any Craghoppers lately so can't report on current sizes ;-)

Re: All bar genius

You'll only need one as well.

Maybe two if you're plenty wet ;-)

Re: But, but, but...

Could that also explain the double yellow lines both sides of the road across the frontage of this house and not the others in the street?

Re: An even better solution

Brother in love?

Apart from that, cracking idea.

Re: She does know it's not quite a starship?

Good eh?

Re: Wot, no 3G?

Thank you. Lots of people forget that our comms are not the worst in the world - it just seems like it sometimes.

P.S Dabbsy - Panzers didn't have hubcaps. Maybe on one of those sissy boy US Army things. Never on a manly Third Reich beast ;-)

Re: This is part of the Unicode standard

What's that thing (on the Apple emoji layout) between the barber's pole and the chequered flag?

Don't understand the logic here

I can never understand the logic behind comments like this. Whatever your choice of TV provider, you'll still have to pay a licence fee. If you choose to go with satellite or cable you'll just pay more to watch programmes that only require a TV and aerial to receive.

Don't forget the BBC does more than just TV. Everyone should listen to Stephen Fry's speech on the subject from a couple of years ago.

That all said and done. I would sooner the BBC spent the money on F1 (which I don't watch) than waste it on drivel like EastEnders or brain numbingly tedious Celebrity Chav Show Jumping On Ice Karaoke.

And whilst we're on the subject of BBC handing out money. I'll decide which charity I'll donate to thank you very much.

I'm no fan of that idiot Ross either.

Camels? Too fast

Donkeys are slower, so it's easier to keep in step.

And they don't spit :-(

He's right you know

'He's right. People kill people. To be more specific, people with guns kill people.'

As do people with knives, people with swords, people with bombs, people with broken bottles, people with metal bars, people with cars, trucks, planes, hands, feet, planks of wood and countless other 'murder' weapons.

Ban them all!
