When I watch things like that, I tell myself I'm so not that intelligent.

Verbing nouns weirds the language[^] "Nouning" verbs is just as distasteful if not more so.

What's your point Rick ?

To watch (a programme) ==> watch is a verb
An interesting "watch" ==> watch is a noun
The original meaning of watch in this context was a verb, therefore using it as a noun is a grammatical abomination.
Watch does have other meanings as a noun (e.g. keeping a close watch, the night watch), but in the general case I find myself agreeing with Rick.

Ok, but my post was intended to alert people to an interesting programme, but I see I've caught the eye of the grammar Nazis

And a salesman asked me "How do you think we keep the cars so shiny?"
I said "Polish?"
And he said "I'm sorry sir, jak myślisz, jak utrzymujemy samochody tak błyszczące?"

That didn't go straight, did you put some English on it?

I think he asked if he could fondle your buttocks. 
According to Do-No^H^H-Evil Translate, it's actually correct Polish!

... I booted GTA V Online, and went downstairs to the casino to spin the wheel - and won the Podium Car: an Übermacht Revolter, luxury 4-door sports sedan. I was expecting another damn baseball cap. 
Nice. (My previous "best car" was a Issi - I'm pretty low level ...)

I sprang for a bulletproof kumara which you can unlock after doing the first heist. Incredible car for the money - well worth it. Good performance and handling off and on road, 4 doors, bulletproof.
It's basically a subaru WRX with body armor.

I haven't done any heists yet, just a couple of the challenges (Stone Hatchet, Double Action Revolver, and Action Figures) - which along with the Stunt Challenge freebie and a 40% discount gave me enough to buy a penthouse (so I can get to my helicopter - also free - without driving across town with the griefers killing me every 30 seconds) and some slightly better weapons.
Still my counterfeit currency factory is piling up the greenbacks - though I've got to steal some more supplies very soon. Then I got to delivery the stock, which ... could be difficult ...

Where have you been? Twice, within the last 6 (?) weeks, the motorcycle club businesses sales have been paying 2x the usual amount. Usually you only get those once every few months, so it'll be a while until these come into effect again.
Bunker sales have started paying 2x today. So what was the last thing I did last evening before going to bed? Sold the content of my bunker... I swear, they decide what gets the double pay rate based on what I just got rid of...

My bunker needs cash I don't have to get started - so I'll just have to build up what I can and work with that.
I was trying to do the daily objectives, since they pay well for 7 days in a row, and very well for 28 days in a row, but some of them I just don't have equipment to do ...
I'll get there, eventually. No hurry.
If I was higher rank I'd suggest a CP Crew - but I'd just hold everyone else back!

I had seven:
- scope resolution operator
- after a label
- after an access control (wasn't mentioned)
- before a base class list
- after
operator? - before a field width
- before a constructor initialization list
But @code-witch mentioned "to escape strings and chars!" I haven't come across that, so is it something recent? Or a joke that escapes me?

I think she meant that you should ignore them when inside a single or double quoted string.

I meant when you're parsing, respect quotes and escapes such that you don't interpret colons that appear inside strings and char literals incorrectly.
I figured you probably already did, but I was more just ribbing you.

global scope operator, as in ::foo (basically a case of #1)

The tears are extra salty.Quote: Lonely nation: 2 in 3 Americans feel more alone than ever before, many admit to crying for first time in years
[^]
While I was a weeper in my twenties ... well, histrionics were tres chic in the '60's ... I seemed to have gone dry after that.
Sixteen years ago, in the most intense part of radiation/chemo, I was at home, and, as a thunderstorm came up, I felt a catharsis coming on ... at last, I thought, i'll have a good cry, and feel a lot better ... just as I teetered on the edge of pathos, a Thai talking lizard (tookay) bellowed his nocturnal mating call [^] which can, and did, sound a lot like "fcuk you" 
So, I just crawled back to my neuroses, unpurged, reminding myself that "those whom the gods would destroy, they first drive mad."

Glad you pulled through 16 years ago.
And that tookay looks like a komodo that's no longer a juvenile! 
EDIT: The second last link is a tokay, a type of gecko. I was referring to the last link!
