That would be terrible for a collie!

Depends what you’re used to. I switched to Windows at work about a year ago and found myself working quite hard to figure out what was going on. I still don’t feel like I fully understand how some of the online office integration stuff is meant to work.

The Royal Navy scrapped its last battleship in 1960.

Do y’all have a local equivalent of @ledbydonkeys.org?

I think I’m slightly too young to have come across the β€œlearning to use a mouse” idea, but my mum used to play Solitaire for fun for hours on end.

I somehow read this as Mary Berry at first.

Same. I’m in court this week as a juror, and it’s very old-fashioned and paper-based. Writing a legible message to the judge was honestly a challenge, and having had to make notes for myself on paper instead of a laptop or phone, I’m not sure even I will be able to read them.

Interestingly I put my cutlery on the table with the knife on the left and fork on the right, but in the drawer the other way round.

β€œInterestingly” may be a bit questionable here, I now realise.

Why would someone write β€œrabid” if they meant another disease entirely?

Definitely the badger.

Given the timing, both started off in WW2. Both Royal Navy. One standard seaman officer, other secret small-boat raiding stuff he never talked about (used to claim he spent the war peeling potatoes in the cookhouse). First became a history teacher post-war, second a property developer.

You’ve put Bournemouth somewhere east of Lymington, and Poole on the wrong side of Poole Bay. Why should we believe anything else you say?

Just seems like the modern equivalent of writing them in green crayon…

Why on earth were they laminating letters?

I had a pickled herring smΓΈrrebrΓΈd in MalmΓΆ during Nordic Fuzz Con this year and it was possibly one of the best things I ate all trip.

I’m sure a Swedish railway fish sandwich would be fine.

That’s an adorable little cloud you have there ☺️

Looks like he needs a lesson from us furries on the importance of BRUSHING 😁

I forgot to pack my fur brush for Nordic Fuzz Con last week, and the first thing I did after arriving and unpacking was run out to Clas Ohlson to buy one.

Is that maybe a good thing if it splits the active racists off from the habitual Tory voters who haven’t been paying attention?

I mean, obviously we’d rather not have racists at all, but if we do then let’s not add the elderly centre-right vote to theirs.

I assume electric cars will refuse to move if there’s a cable plugged in, otherwise EV drivers would be doing this all the time. But my car is a 20 year old Landrover that I’ve retrofitted for mains power 😁

I’ve done that in my car, but touch wood not in the boat yet.

Fortunately (well, by design) the car power socket faces backwards and doesn’t have any latching mechanism. So the cable just gives a bit of a twang and falls out onto the driveway.

It’s only partially effective, so really needs everyone in the appropriate circles to have it, to start cutting down spread.

SH clinics should offer it if you have multiple casual partners - worth asking if they don’t bring it up.

I normally tolerate vaccines pretty well, but this new gonorrhoea one is giving me β€œschool bully dead arm” sensation tonight.

Still well worth it though, and I hope y’all get it soon if it’s relevant to you and you haven’t already.

Maybe he’s opening it mid-cycle for maximum face-steam.

I’ve just had to show some work colleagues various pictures of equipment installed on a ship. I scrolled very quickly past all my recent pics before they got into a position to see my phone 😁

Nope, we had Country Dancing at my primary school in Hampshire.

Even if it’s located outside the US, I understand that US law allows Amazon/Google/Microsoft to be compelled to hand it over to their government.

I’ve opted for Hetzner, a German company with datacentres in Germany and Finland.
