Latching onto Stewart's explanantion of LAME. In fencing (sabre and foil) you wear a LAME (pronounced lar-may) which is a woven type of jacket containing a metallic (conductive) material. When your opponent makes contact on the lame with the point of the foil or the blade in sabre it activates a light on the scoring box. The use of lame is consistent with DD's CCC clue.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

It's a matter of practice & learning some conventions
Books often refers to the bible, which has 2 testaments OT & NT
Other arcane reference are
ancient city - Ur
Hell - Dis

AHA! So there is no rhyme nor reason to this?

Last night, first Eldest and then Ickle started to womit; this is the same as vomitting but Ickle still pronounces it with a 'w'. They emptied their guts and carried on retching all night. I've just heard one, Eldest I believe, having another go.
Obviously, they are both off school today. A day when I am supposed to be cramming. I have a telephone interview this evening, but I am already pooped with the entire day ahead. I need [another] ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) .

What did you feed the poor ickle darlin's? You big cruel person you!

They have eaten exactly the same as Mrs Wife and I so it's not that. We did go to our club yesterday and I suspect they took in a fair amount of water from the pool. Maybe this will teach them to keep their mouths shut when swimming.

The only good bit of that is that it shouldn't have an effect at both ends...

Maybe you disinfected yourself drinking vast amounts of gin . A possible advantage your children don't have (hopefully )

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

My neighbouring cow-orker has just gone home due to extreme womitting so I'm now scrubbing my hands before lunch and hoping against hope that he's taken it all with him.

Hope it's not this[^], otherwise you could be next.
Unfortunately, it does say "drink plenty of water", not "fluids", so you can't use vitamin G as a handy replacement.

I'd give an arm and a leg for something like that at times. 
While very cute, our kitty sometimes forgets just how soft we are and how and easily we bleed!

Yes, ours has a habit of diving under the duvet and slashing the heck out of my toes...wakes you up... 
Trouble is he moves faster than I do, so catching him to remonstrate doesn't work too well - and by the time you have done that you are awake anyway. I'm not sure if he's "really, really, clever", or just "thick as a brick and very vicious" but I'll go for the thick version given some of his other demonstrations.

One of my cats has the bad habit of scratching his teeth with my fingers... while i am still sleeping. Normally i have to hide under the duvet so i can get some sleep. Then he lays on my head. And all this is happening before the alarm clock and on weekends  And if i have the stupid idea of moving my legs ... well you can guess what happens.

Eouch!
Fortunately, the closest ours comes when we're in bed is the pillow. Every now and again we wake up to find him asleep on the pillow next to/resting against either of our heads.  He even seems considerate enough to share the love, almost always alternating separate visits between the two of us.
Yet at other times he'll perform a vicious sneak attack on the back of bare legs as we walk past. Crafty little mischief maker.
Wouldn't have it any other way!

Dij does that. He goes out when it's raining, gets soaked, and comes in moaning about it. I have to dry him off, and he then has a quick wash and goes back out to get soaked again.
But...if I don't dry him to his satisfaction then as soon as I turn away (to get another set of cat drying gloves, say) he attacks my feet to let me know he isn't finished yet.

So my HDD has had enough and decided to take a perma vacation now and unfortunately it happened as my warranty just got over. It was about 2 years and it was from Seagate.
I'm looking at a 1 TB Toshiba HDD. Can anyone tell me if they are good in quality?
Any furious flashbacks or personal opinions?
