Everyone knows that the Scots invented everything[^] that the Chinese didn't.
Now it seems they invented sex[^] too.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Irn Bru, Stovies, Deep Fried Mars Bars are all missing from the list 
|

That's because the Chinese invented them first.

Is it just me...or do those fish look...rather happy?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's because they've just received a fresh batch of fried Mars bars from China.

Hardly surprising.
I mean, whether you live in the Highlands or on the Glens, there's bugger all to do but look out at the heather (which is a particularly nasty plant), so you either turn inward and think great, inventive thoughts, or you turn outward to bonnie lasses.

Whereas here in Wales, we just turn inward and think great, inventive thoughts about bonnie lasses.

You typoed "Lassies".
Lasses don't herd sheep for you.

Possibly not, this might be OG's pack of pimps?

So who invented the bagpipes[^] then?

Wasn't that the Italians (or earlier versions thereof)?

Another species of the same type found in China is chuandongensis, and that was discovered by a man named Wang.

Dr. Johnson pros
A Dictionary of the English Language -- one of the funniest books ever written (even funnier than the Websters).
"I do so love a good laugh, and he always delivers!" (Wallace, 2014)
Dr. Johnson cons
Didn't know the difference between "scotchman" and "Scotsman" -- yet another reason why the task of compiling a dictionary should never have been placed in his hands.

The DVD/CD player on my lappie has stopped working. I put a movie in last night, it spins up and stops immediately.
A quick Google [other search engines are available] shows either driver or hardware at fault, but I can't seem to be able to find a reliable source as to what my next step should be.
So instead of a reliable source, I've decided to ask you drunken reprobates. Any ideas what I should do?

Remove the DVD/CD and put an extra hd/ mSSD
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

As above, but it really depends on how much you use the optical drive. An external drive can be obtained for not a lot and can be plugged in and used as required. I have been looking at an external blu-ray writer drive for a while now, the question is do I really need it.

Get an external one, amazon [other shops may have that stuff also] offers some in a pricing range of 12 to 25 €. It might not be that expensive in $ or £ i think

For a minute I thought you had been round to my house 
The wife sent an email about some other bits an bobs, and in the middle of it was "I'm not sure if you want to know, but the big telly is not working, there is sound but no picture"  This is the 63" one I bought in December 2010.
A quick search around all everything points to either a) a blown capacitor or b) a failed inverter board.
So, it may either be;
a) A relatively cheap diy fix for both possible faults (<£100 if new inverter board needed)
or
b) an excuse to buy a new bigger, better telly  (only downside is I really can't do with the additional expense at the moment)

How about a third option (if you are feeling brave) - a trip to ebay to look for a broken TV of the same make and model, preferably one with a broken screen, but working electronics.
Best of luck if you go this route.

That falls under option 'a'
