I remember a Scottish colleague who used to refer to 'brambles' instead of blackberries. Now up on Tayside, have you ever had tayberries? (a cross between blackberries and raspberries according to the site I found these on):  Doesn't that Proms visit seem light years away?! |

Following Andy D's comments about Avast Antivirus, from the Grumpy Old Rant room,
being skint most of the time means I have had to rely heavily on Freeware and while there are some right royal turkeys out there, there are also some very good programs distributed free of charge. I am a big fan of Avast!, Spybot Search and Destroy, and OpenOffice among others.

I agree Kitty. I've just had a quick look at what's on my PC and as well as avast!, Spybot and OpenOffice (I wouldn't touch Word with a barge pole), I've found the following which I use regularly and all of which are available free, sometimes as a limited facility version of something you have to pay for:
ZoneAlarm - firewall
AVG Anti-Spyware
Ad-Aware SE
Notepad2 - far better than MS Notepad
Sunbird - Mozilla calendar
Thunderbird - Mozilla email
Audacity - edit etc audio files
XVI32 - hex file edit (of limited interest to most I should think)
Firefox/Flock - browsers (I tried Opera but uninstalled it because it kept doing something annoying at startup)
Rokario Bandwidth monitor - for monitoring your broadband connection
Picasa - basic photo editor/organiser
RealPlayer
Belarc Advisor - tells you what's on your PC

There's GOT to be a musical joke in there somewhere. Did it have a particularly irritating overture? |

Where for the first time I have seen a photo of a deep fried creme egg, discussed my pigeon infestation and enjoyed Ian Pace's photos of Busby Berkley's Gold Diggers of 1933 (it may have been Dames. Ian uncharacteristically failed to give proper academic citation.) |

Sorry Richard.
I very much appreciate your prescence here, and those who post at both forums like Mort, increpatio, Don B, Mary C, Andy D, t_i_n, Bryn, Baz and many more. Ian doesn't post here but he does login in for long periods so he keeps in touch I suppose.
