The buggers didn't bother using my books, which I suppose is a good thing ๐Ÿ™‚

Also they built the underground before electric trains were invented, so there were steam trains thundering underground. There is still at least one large vent surviving with a pretend facade of a house hiding it.

Every Thursday afternoon at the Cavern a retired boxer called Lesley De'Ath entered a makeshift ring and took on allcomers. When a four piece skiffle band turned up for their 1st gig on a Thursday evening the posters got mixed up and they were billed as "Beat Les". The name stuck.

I'm thinking of having an existential crisis. Anyone else had one? What's it like? Are there any upsides?

Ditto Last Panto in Little Grimley.

I don't suppose you have a set of diagrams for your 13min list? I've no idea what a tricep dip is!

Poets, eh?

And there have to be at least two lemon pips on each pancake.

With digital sampling, you only ever get up to half of the analogue signal anyway, whatever the resolution.

I'm still going to export to 32Bit Float BWAV - it really does sound better :) (as @chintzbaby.com )

This is a Very Good Thing!

What's orange and sounds like a parrot?

Good luck from me too. After an initial assessment, it takes 30+ months to get the final one (for the certificate and badge), so patience is required!

I'm not getting rid of my Perl camel book. Memories there - at work, i'd forget something fundamental and be looking at the first few chapters then quickly flick to the end if someone saw me!

I remember the early days of search engines trying to find them.

Detectives looking at CCTV -
'Zoom in on that'
'Yes sir'
Type, type, type... Surely it'd be control mouse wheel?

Nice to see the Jensen though.

Libre Office something - it's like PowerPoint I think, or like 'desktop publishing' in the old days. Export to jpg then Gimp it.

Heed the warning!

Aye, yes. I came here to say that. US people eh?

I think I heard you on the world at one today, (unless there's another bookselling Bert in Swindon). Sounding very jolly!

Obviously.

Amazon description: "Perfect gift for friends and family who like jewellery maintenance." - and probably already have one.

But I agree - those do look nice!

What astonishes me is that there are 8 billion people in the world, and only two mobile phone operating systems.

And three computer ones.

Weird.

If you have some spare, there's a thing I love to do - scrunch them up, then flatten one side on a flat surface - the smoothness of the foil is very pleasing.

I don't know why I like this, I'm quite possibly the only one who does...

Done! Two quids - for all this!

11.12.2025 15:56 ๐Ÿ‘ 3 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, I'd never read it before, and am now reading it - even the first few pages are too prescient, yeek!

Huge thanks to Ellie @elspells13.bsky.social, who has done a simply stunning job on line-editing my Magnum Opus (well, it's a novella - at the moment) - highly recommended indeed!
