Ah well, your training is not complete until you've had a Windows 3.1 box crashing on you every 30 minutes or so...that's where the whole idea of 'Auto-Save' came from

Before the Internet, there was the text editor.
One of those things has always lived up to its claims.

Notepad doesn't have auto-save either

Notepad doesn't need auto-save.
The risk of your losing your connection to a text editor that is installed on the machine you are working on is pretty small.

Well, all of those nice arguments are pretty much nullified by the presence of haggis!

When I was a child, around 5-6, I went with my mother to Scotland to visit a Scottish friend of hers. He tried to convince me that haggis came from sheep that lived high up on the mountains. And because they always walked around the mountain in the same direction, the front and back legs on one side were longer than on the other side.
Surely, he didn't lie to me?!?!?

Everyone complains about haggis*, but no-one recognises that there are great chefs in Scotland.
I mean, where do you think stovies came from?

Properly made stovies is the food of the gods........especially when eaten with oatcakes and butter.

I've been to the Edinburgh Tattoo once (and I've seen some other stuff along the way), so yeah I'm quite an authority when it comes to Scotland. And I totally agree

you'll be fine mate - great pics though - had one of the best days ever in the National Museum of Scotland, way back when they had the Tsar Nicholas and Alexandra exhibit

On the other hand, I just got back from a week in L.A. and Las Vegas so Scotland is looking like a better bet.

"There's no sport either" ... pah! B***dy good game today. Given the relative populations of the countries involved (and therefore the pool of players to pick from) ye's showed us roses up a wee bit... actually more than a wee bit. Well played guys.

Skipper: We'll fix it.

Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Assuming you had a terrible accident, how happy would you be with someone else's replacement part?

I honestly don't know, but I would hopefully stick to the scientific view that it is now "my part". The recipient in this case is reportedly quite happy.

It's like the farmer who "lost it" in a freak combine-harvester accident.
Being out in the sticks, they couldn't find a spare, so they sewed a turkey neck on, instead.
