Is that where the expression "to get rat arsed" came from?

Since returning from playing nursey I have been overcome by a tidal wave of ennui.
I would have posted about it but I just can't be arsed.
Besides, since I got a WebCam I feel silly sitting in front of the computer in my nurses uniform.

Good, and let's hope they discontinue the brand. It's a bloody awful pint. It may have been good once-upon-a-Tyne (regional gag!), but it ain't now and hasn't been since "big business" got involved.
Scottish & Newcastle can get stuffed, in my not so humble opinion, as can their parent company Heineken. What I want is tasty regional beers, not chemical stuffed-rancid-fetid-cat-piss like Carlsberg and Fosters those bumholes want (and seem) to sell.
F-Off Heineken, you useless and utter F-Wits. Hello Hall & Woodhouse!

Puts a whole new spin on "The fog on the Tyne is mine all mine". Frankly, you can keep it - I've seen it  and not just Gazza "rapping".

I second your notion to eliminate Newkie Brown. 'Twas the cheap crap I used to order at the pub when I was a lad of 16, wet behind the ears and general uncultured thicko. Now I am a cultured thicko and find the stuff repulsive. It could possibly pass as leather cleaner however.

Not round mine it bloody couldn't. It'd have to have a Gucci certificate to come anywhere near my her stuff!

Isn't Newcastle Brown a type of dope ? I thought they say that in '30 days in the hole'

Nah, it's just a shite beer. "Golden Brown" on the other hand, ain't referring to a certain politician's expertise, but a recreational pharmaceutical.

Thank you Bloody Martin, now I have the Stranglers stuck in my head.

Newcastle never impressed me much, so it won't be missed here. But I really object to seeing Cave Creek Chili Beer outsourced to Mexico! Here I am, minutes away from Cave Creek and the microbrewery that invented it, and there's really no point in visiting anymore. It just wouldn't be right...

When you alter/edit/revise code, which is better, to delete the old code or to comment it out so you can see the evolution when you go back some time later?

Yes.
Very well, then...
As others have said; delete it. I might add that if you tried to do it a particular way and it screwed things up, you may want to add a notation to that effect to keep the same problem from happening again.

The code should reflect the most recent functionality, and comments should describe what the code is intended to do. Use version control (e.g., Subversion and TortoiseSVN) to keep track of changes to code. Do not leave old code commented out in your new code. Delete it.

Thank you.
As many know I am an accountant by trade, not a developer, but learning quickly and it is little things like this that help.
Thanks for your time.

Well, when you went back and cooked the books to be right, did you leave the old, wrong entries, or did you make it look like it had been right the whole time?

right. keeping old code, even in comment, confuses the reader, results in false search hits, and in general has no use at all. Less is definitely more.
and that also applies to old comments!

We always remove old code, since everything is in a source control system.
If need be, we can look back over changes, compare contents, etc.etc.etc.
