Isn't that morbid a bit that what makes your wonderful is falling back to Win 8 from Win 10... I'm sure Microsoft just as happy as you are

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So, which bit takes me to Win7?

Going back from winio to anything is an improvement -- even win 3.11 or pencil & paper!

I submitted my Christmas wish list to SWMBO today.
It's a short, but expensive list. I wanna put a 671 blower on my car. Approximate cost - $8700.
An alternative (also submitted) is new underwear.
I wonder which one she'll pick.

671 Blower: $8700
Underwear: $40
Hmm...
Get ready for new underpants!

I say JSOP's getting $8700 worth of underwear this Christmas.

Are you building the last of the V8s?
If you get a blower, everyone will need new underwear.

I'd be lyin' if I said that wasn't the desired effect.

You're married to Ursula Andress?
Or are you more the Rumpole type?

Yup.
From H. Rider Haggard's "She: A History of Adventure" (initially serialised in some penny dreadful or another). Played by Ursula Andress in the movie She[^].
And the only thing we get to learn about Rumpole of the Bailey's[^] wife.

I could scan some images from this magazine for they who want more information...

But once they find out, I doubt there are many who'll forget -- I mean, she was the first Bond girl, for Heaven's sake!

I beg to differ. It's my impression that the age average of this forum is quite high. I'm sure the majority of regulars will have had a poster of her on his boy room wall... 
Now Rumpole on the other hand...

I'm too young to have had a poster of Ursula Andress on my wall. 
Rumpole, OTOH, reads a lot better than he looks. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I think after she sees $8700, she will need new underwear and you can have the ones she used to have.

You still running a V6?
A quick check shows those blowers for under 3K on eBay. I'm sure they com with an allen key and a single page of IKEA-style instructions for bolting that bad boy on.

No. If you keep up, you would recall a couple of years ago he removed his V6 and automatic and retro fitted a 70's (I think) era big block V8 and manual transmission.

Whale oil beef hooked - the last thing I would have thought of (well, yes, of course it was  ).
In a fit of desperation I moved the wife's laptop to close to the WiFi relay, and plugged in a network cable - and it worked just fine. It seems that for ordinary browsing, including streaming BBC World Service News, everything works just fine, but when it was asked to download a large file (usually a TV program or film) the network card goes slow, and finally goes on strike but I 'aint buying her a new laptop as I suspect this could be residual damage from when she spilled wing one it, that caost me a new keyboard. 
I have now installed a third WiFi thingy, relaying from the second one, close enough to the usual place my wife works from, and connected with a good ol' piece of wire.
I get to live another day!
