Professor (facing his students): Okay guys, you have to make me believe that this wall doesn't exist. (Not touching the wall behind him)

Student 1: Ahm, sir? What wall?
do I have to get my coat? 
Don't mind those people who say you're not HOT. At least you know you're COOL.

No, but the pseudoscience professor should.

Well, I would rather have said, "Sir? Where are you?" 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

If I understood it correctly, I must say, you don't have to say that at all if the professor doesn't exist.

To be, or not to be (a Wall[♀])
That is the question.

Thinking of Wilt[^] by Tom Sharpe:
If the class was Builders One. One builder would have distracted him while the rest quickly removed the wall and then pushed him through it!
"What wall!"

Or 40 ways to carve up England into different jurisdictions.
And this is without Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
A small warning, the map[^] is Big!
It's quite interesting that England has three different types of counties, two of which are shown here. England's historical counties haven't officially been abolished.

I notice that there are several "Nuts 1" regions, encompassing all of England.

There's also "Nuts 2", I'm sure someone will tell us what those are.

In your country they are ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUTS_of_Sweden[^]

Ah, interesting. The NUTS3 are known by everyone by their names, and while I've been using the other ones by their names at work I never knew they were NUTS.

What happened to Middx??? Still accepted by the post office and used by many people and businesses.

Got swallowed by greater London, but clings to life in the postcodes, a Cricket club and the name of a University.
So Middlesex is gone, but Sussex, Wessex, Essex remains. What about the northern Saxons?
<Edit> scrap that. What happened to Wessex?</edit>

Wessex disappeared a long time ago. I don't think it existed since the Norman conquest.

|

Yeah, I googled a bit and only found historical references.

Wow.......don't know what happened there, but when I clicked the link and it tried to open it, it broke all 3 open tabs in Chrome. :-/

Odd, I really just linked an actual PNG file. But it's 12780x7800 px.
Oh, and BTW it works for me on Chrome. 
For me it crashed IE on the first try, but worked on the second. Try to download to disk and open from there.

It will be our network out here. We have a lot of problems with various things on our system that IT can't get to the bottom of.
e.g. opening a 220Kb pdf file from the network takes 2minutes. Drag the same pdf onto Chrome and it opens instantly. Opening Word takes ages, and not talking opening a document, this is just starting an instance of Word. interacting with our ComputerBasedTraining provider crashes constantly. Outlook webmail craps itself regularly as does some webpages and the CSS doesn't get applied.
I think we are loosing or dropping random traffic somwhere.

Sounds like a probable cause.
But what antivirus are you using?
And do you not have local installs of office?

That is local install of office!

If a local install of office takes two minutes to start you're having some serious problems with your setup.
But I can only speculate that there are some references on a central server that's messing up things.
Most if not all antiviruses scans network files every time they access them while local files are scanned once and kept track on after that.
