    If I fits, I sits.  The core programming of a cat.

    It would have been more fun if someone actually put them up as signs.


    I remember when I first had to work in CMYK, for a greeting card publisher, and my most-often repeated thought as I worked was "You call that black??"

    Good gracious Nancy.  For one moment your chart caused my jaw to hit the floor, until I twigged those are Fahrenheit temperatures.  This was helped by my head being in a ridiculously high temperatures state of mind because of Australia this week, where it was dues to reach 45°C (113°F).  This is Southern Australia BTW and not Alice Springs, central Oz, where I tend to associate with silly highs.  I wonder how Graham is doing in Queensland?  He mentioned cat sitting, but didn't say where.

    We have had lots of 30°C and hotter days here, but it is a pleasant 25° today.  I spend all winter hating the cold — anything below 16°C (60°F) feels cold to me — and when the summer arrives, I complain it is too hot.

    The Cambridge Research makes a good point, but it's not how you want to write your resume.

    I said I was done with the subject, and I am. Just one brief comment, as a professional.

    Journalists are also professionals. Their job is to question power and authority, in any form. They aren't there to be "friendly", they're inquisitive by instinct. They don't have time to be "progressive" or "conservative" or whatever. They have work to do.

    Now I'm done.

    Talking to my cab driver, he gets spam calls from airduct cleaning companies.

    He strings them along and says "yes I have 15 ducks, all mallards and they sure could use a cleaning". Then he hangs up.

    I guess it takes a special kind to know how to jerk them around.

    Nice one.

    My mum used to tell us that she was sent out to the Saturday matinee with a tanner. (aka Sixpence, six old UK pennies, half a shilling or two cents American).  She could see the  movie, and have enough for a bag of chips on the way home.     She's coming  up to 90 years old.  When I was 'almost' old enough to go to the pub, a pint of Starlight bitter cost 11d (eleven old pence, four American cents) and a gallon of two stroke cost 4 shillings and 10 pence.   Aye, but we were lucky!

    We are going full circle now. We did a 'when signs go wrong'segment of this thread a couple of hundred posts back.

    Oh, and I know of a couple of people who  still do the Pokemen Go thing.  One of them also does online casino, so he is obviously beyond hope.

    Yes we did have  that round of "design failures", but in the spirit of moving on, I'll post something different.

    One guy saw an an old friend playing Pokemon GO...and when he asked why, the bloke sadly said, "You gotta live your life, man, live your life." So at times I'm amused, but whatever get others through the day.

    And here we go...
