That is the depressing truth. I once went to Tenerife to walk/climb Mount Teide. It was much cheaper to book a package then to try for direct flights so it was a week in Playa and a daily drive up into the crater. Bally good fun, until we got to the bar in the evening. I intentionally ate and drank local, well Spanish, products. None of the gastly imported British Muck!

Really? English sausages are the best in the world, so is its black pudding. Have to hand it so Spain on the bacon and eggs front though. And coffee, hot chocolate, pastries, tapas, wine, sherry, in fact pretty much everything else that isnt fish and chips and pies and pasties.

Thanks - I was getting quite worried but now know we're safe.
The warm sunny beaches down the street from me - well - you know - we don't want any of that riff-raff leaving fish'n'chips crumbs in the sand and all that.* What a relief!
* All that also includes the stench of gin in the air covering up the occasional (and preferable) stench from a summer low tide during a heat wave.

Why do you think we colonised the world? We cant stand being at home!
For one the weather is appalling, the food dull, and we have an incredible wonder lust. Go to almost any holiday destination and there will be a big Brit constituent.

In general I'd like to think there's more good news than bad news out in the world - good news unfortunately, doesnt sell newspapers/news etc so isnt 'profitable'

Looking on all the bad news made it to the media, sometimes I think that the fact the sun rises is actually good news...

Actually, the moment the sun stops rising you'll never hear bad news again

Yes I agree, it just does not arouse the sense of indignation and fear required to interest people.

Does it involve scooping out half your brain and filling the empty space with a concentrated testosterone solution?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I had to do some graphics for me wife, something fairly complicated... First time since I started to use it instead of Adobe... It was really fun...

I was amazed by its features of edge-detection (which, it did amazingly!) and animation to the images (waves, ripples etc). GIMP is no wonder the best software to use for image manipulation on Linux environments. On Windows, Adobe may have some cards up their sleeves — but I don't use them, I don't have enough money to put to waste.

Linux support graphics?
Honestly, I don't know how GIMP survives in a world where everything has to be done with the command line.
I'd mark this post as a joke, but I'm not sure I'm joking.

On Fedora I rarely have to drop down to the command line, unless I am building something. Even then, the command line is usually faster than opening an IDE, loading the project, then building the project. I still build a lot of my projects from the command line, and use the IDE for editing. And yes, I usually use Windows/VS (although I have a Fedora VM for testing things).
