…however,despite updating Flash,Chrome,ensuring all apps have all the requirements,downloading latest Adobe,AND swearing at the computer,the black squares remain in place. Sod it -I’ll go play one of my guitars…
So you made Google Chrome your default?
Then erased the old ones?
Cleared your history?
bloody feck - missed it!
sounds like a recipe for disaster - what ever you do DONT clear your history you want be able to explain all these wonderful experiments instead of leaving us to just gaze in wonderment and say “Ah this is wonderful I wonder how it is done? - it must be magic!”
sounds like an instruction given by Dr Who before taking off in the Tardis.
did I suggest buying a new pc back there - I bet you have an adorable very old one that you just can’t part with - man up man up! - stop letting sweetie pie boss you about all the time!

God yiz have little to be worrying about over there, the world is falling apart and your complaining about three young ones doing a bit of petty nicking, it’s happening every second somewhere in the world, and when you think of it it was their ancestors who built the place anyway, pioneers the lot of them hacking trails through the bush and jungles building the railways vital to early Australian settlers, and all for cheap grog and tobacco, maybe they think it’s payback time.
Seriously though, best bet is to send them home Gummy, they are a bad example, most of our folks know how to behave themselves on foreign shores.
I have a niece who’s a school head mistress and a nephew who’s an inspector in the police in Sydney, pillars of their communities are they, and they have raised families there, they all love the place and would never settle back here.
Now here’s a bit of news, nothing important as news goes but a human kindness story of a grateful nation thanking another people for helping them in their hour of need, this new leader of ours seems to be OK.

This sculpture was unveiled in Co Cork last year to commemorate the Choctaw nation’s generosity
By Brian O’Donovan
Washington Correspondent
The Taoiseach is to meet members of the Choctaw native American community in Oklahoma next week.
Leo Varadkar will thank the Choctaw nation whose ancestors provided relief to Ireland during the Great Famine.
In 1847, they collected around $170, the equivalent of several thousand dollars today, for famine relief in Ireland.
The donation was made just 16 years after the infamous ‘Trail of Tears’, when tribes were relocated from their lands, at a time when the Choctaw people were themselves living in relative poverty.
Last year, a sculpture was unveiled in Midleton in Co Cork to commemorate their generousity and, on Monday, Mr Varadkar will meet Choctaw Chief Gary Batton in Oklahoma to thank him.
Loving that Jem.
I will pop back later.
you must come and see us all one day!!
wow - yowl could have knocked me down with a feather !!
this sums it all up " free apps download free apps - watch your show as you go!"- this is the new age and madness – this was the jingle for free apps for mobile phones
I am all apped out.
Hmm…I was just briefly looking at a tv show. It’s called ‘What would your kid do’. I imagine some of you must be aquainted with it. Now-the compare,Jason Manford,is good,a comedian of some worth-BUT-the ‘kid’ bit just sticks in my gullet. I saw a bit of some shouty gonk named Jeremy Kyle recently…and omg [he said,in his best ‘text speak’] the bloke must’ve said ‘kid’ around 30 times in just the ten minutes I watched him. I’d like to know,seriously;is it JUST me,or does this inability to say the word ‘child’ get on anyone elses ti…er…nerves? I also noticed that a HUGE number of ‘celebrities’ seem TOTALLY unable to pronounce the letter ‘t’ whenever they speak. Pronouncing words such as ‘‘butter’’ as ‘‘Buh-er’’. DASHED annoying,to my poor,overworked [and extremely lonely] braincell.
So I was just wondering if I’m alone in this dislike of what amounts to no more than laziness regarding pronounciation;especially considering these people are televised as they say things like “I goh-a noo ta-oo…it was WELL cheap,'ardly nuffink!”. PLEASE tell me I’m not alone in my dislike of this laziness?
Must be all the texting they’re doing now Pug, shorthand for the masses, used to be only the posh office birds knew shorthand.
God be with the days when the old BBC front men/women spoke perfect English “And now we present “Come Dawnsing” and for the car enthusiast “My Gar rarge” with Reginald Hamilton Pennysworth.
Ever hear a posh woman saying “Putty”? the “U” vanishes and it becomes “Patty” How about an American saying the "B…x word, Bruce Willis tried it in one of his die hard films, very funny they just can’t get it right. probably why they prefer the “F” word and use it so often in Hollywood films today. 
Apps, they all have different brand names, you forget which logo is for which app,
Can’t find Mongolia on the map?
Download the map app.
No water coming from your tap?

Girls, can’t get a chap?
Down load the chap app.
So don’t be a sap, fill the gap and get the app on your lap. now!

This youtube video should be of Danny Doyle singing “Whiskey on a Sunday” I’m giving it one more go, if it doesn’t work I’ll have to get the app.
Bless you and your knowledge of technology Sweetie, thank you.
Here’s the piece to accompany the song, Gumbud may have heard of Seth Davy.
Seth Davy, sometimes spelled Seth Davey, was a black street entertainer who worked in Liverpool, England, at the turn of the 20th century, and was immortalised in the folk song “Whiskey on a Sunday”.
Little is known of Davy outside of the lyrics of the song, which themselves have been varied over the years, with his location sometimes even changed to Dublin (Beggar’s Bush) or London (Shepherd’s Bush) from the original Bevington Bush in Liverpool. No one is recorded in public records with the precise name of Seth Davy. This vagueness had led to the assumption that the character was imaginary, although many Liverpudlians claimed to have seen him in person.
But Seth Davy certainly existed. Fritz Spiegl possessed a lantern slide clearly showing a poor black street entertainer with three jig dolls at Bevington Bush, surrounded by children. Popular belief is that Seth Davy was West Indian, possibly Jamaican, though Ray Costello in his Black History, a history of Liverpool’s black population, says that he was West African. Planters from Devon, England are known to have introduced the surname Davy into Jamaica. The existence of the Davy surname amongst black Jamaicans supports the belief that Seth Davy was from Jamaica.[1]
Davy sang ‘Massa is a stingy man’, from the repertoire of Dan Emmett, one of the stars of American minstrelsy, which contains the lines:
“Sing come day, go day
God send Sunday
We’ll drink whiskey all de week
And buttermilk on Sunday’” Wiki.
Fascinating Jem.
Like Molly Malone, I always knew the song, but, had no idea she was fictional. Love the bronze statue.
