I luv playing around with me apostr0phy - sometimes it sits behind the S bend and then other times quite mysteriously sits on the horns of the S bend and leads the charge!
Mmm, the quiz went down well.

I don’t know the answers to that fine quiz Sweetie so I’m only guessing. I’ll have a stab at a few.
(2) I think I read something about the Statue of Liberty moving? Statues do move, we’ve had lots of moving statues over here, we also have mobile phone statues, folks even talk to them saying “Hello, statue?”

Talk about name dropping, actually my name was dropped quite a few times in my lifetime, it was dropped from the boy scouts band because I was useless on the tin whistle, dropped from my paper round for being late in the mornings, dropped from the church choir because I couldn’t sing. I remember that event very well, the choir consisted of teenage boys and girls, we had all started off with “Faith of our Fathers” when suddenly the choirmaster yelled out “Stop! stop!, there is some who’re singing and some who’re not”
All the girls turned red faced, and all the boys laughed, but we never found out the name and address of the singing whore, not that it would have mattered, we hadn’t tuppence to rub together.

Honestly, I was going to say they grew the pears inside the bottles but decided they would probably blow off the pear trees in a strong wind, so I shot that idea down.
Still I’m happy I got one right.
I’m happy also.
Hello Happy, I’m Dopey, where’s Grumpy?
When the Gumbud blooms it’s not in May
For he lives in a land far away
Where buds are buds and there they stay
Sharing their troubles along the way.
Tis true my friends, the moral here is simple, when one goes off to a distant land to sow ones wild oats, one should not part with ones buds, but if you do happen to lose any buds, take heart, the memories of the good times will stay with you forever.
As the 98 year old fella put in his dating site profile,
“I believe in being honest from the outset, so I will tell you now that I have no hair at all, two huge ears, one gammy leg, and there’s lots of wrinkles on my face. No teeth either but I still have all my own gums”
God I hope I die before I get that old.

Good Night Possums.

I am FED if I can get this POXY bloody Apple piece of crap to post a @@!! picture on a forum!!!
Just WHAT,do people SEE in these Apple Crpboxes trhat makes them so !(@U^%&@! populaR???
I’ve been trying for over an hour to post a @*!^@!!£@! picture on this thread!!!
OHHHHH<BOY,will I EVER be glad to back to my Linux machines!
LINUX ROOOOLS,Linux ROCKS…this Apple sh1t–well,I just don’t get it at ALL!!! WHAT is so great about being INSIDE the Apple Prisonyard…EH?
Apple!!!are you having trouble with your CORE processer???
No,Spits…I’ve been TRYING to find the photos,loaded from the 'phone…to put one into a forum as a picture for others to look at. INSTEAD,I get the bloody photos Apple DECIDES i can see/look at/list…but NOT all of them. Then,the ones I DO see,are in a list,with letters & numbers,rather than the names they ALL have. Ok,so I ‘quick look’ them,say “Ah,THAT’S the one”…and the !!$£!@ machine says "I’m not gonna let you post it on ANY forum/newsletter,/work-related post,etc,etc - no,I’m gonna be a USELESS BIT OF SH1T! NOTHING will let me get the photos…even the ones with a large blue ‘Q’ beside them,rather than the ‘VLC’ icon I prefer…into a position where I can share them online. I’ve tried Photoshop,Apple’s own system [I can’t remember it’s name] and Tinypic…which USUALLY works like a dream! I’m apparently STUCK with this shitty machine,as the uni has decided to ‘go Apple’ in this new term…so SOD the HNY stuff…I want my Linux machine back,coz this Apple prison is getting my goat,mate! ALL I want to do is find ALL my photos-not SOME of them-and be able to load them onto whichever site I happen to be using.
[it varies,at work] But Tinypic is unable,Photoshop is unable…and I can NOT find Apple’s way of doing it…so this thing is RAPIDLY going to integrate with the wall as I’ve been up ALL night…again…trying to sort out this poxy charade!
PS…the processor is going like a Bugatti Veyron in a hurry and it has 16gb of Ram. So it isn’t the machine’s drivers or processors,it’s this TWAT Apple system that’s giving me grief, bro.
