GRUMP: my Linux computer at work, in Firefox, every word I type has a squiggly red line under it.  IS MY SPELLING REALLY THAT BAD?

SOME UNPRINCIPLED BUGGER HAS REMOVED MY LITTLE WOLF. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE IF NECESSARY HUNTING YOU DOWN AND BRINGING YOU TO JUSTICE.     

A quick word with Peter and his grandfather might sort things out, should it happen again in the future....

Increpatio,

I had that problem when I upgraded my Firefox on a Mac. For one thing, it only recognized American spellings. You can turn it off, though.

George,

I never knew your avatar was a wolf. I've learnt something today.

A wild screech is heard to emanate from a train carriage late at night. What can it be??? Oh yes, the driver forgot to open the train doors. And then (as if to remedy the situation) dumped all of us who wanted to get off at East Croydon at a station five minutes down the line to get a train back to EC.

Thereby I missed my bus and had twenty minutes to wait for the next one. In a t-shirt, shivering. Couldn't even resort to reading the book I had brought since the actual text as such only occupied half the book. I've seen some bibliographies in my time but this takes the proverbial unhealthy biscuit.

Angry without wishing to resort to overly Byron-ish tactics: grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

If you still have the pic, I can photobucket it for you and send you a link, or get help from the moderators. That's a better option actually.

A question for you IT bods out there re. the complete stuffedness of my server. I have a Yahoo account which I use from time to time. Seeing as I can`t send or receive e mails on my Talk Talk account, could I bypass it by using Yahoo? Or will the fact that I have to register with Talk Talk to get online bugler things up?

Whaddya mean, blonde? Grin

Hmm. Clambers into loft to retrieve O-level French text book. Right, now then....

I am to venture after the inflamed bottom of my mother for whomsoever has misappropriated your togs from the washroom yesterday without so much as a duck served with peas in return, the very naughty person.

Never fear, Mr S. I'm on the case! I will leave no tern unstoned.

I've been wading through treacle all day (metaphorically speaking of course) - meeting myself coming back and after all my efforts and seemingly aimless racing around,  I don't seem to have done very much at all.  It is now 21.53 p.m. and I've got the kitchen to clear up after the evening meal, the green bin/box and blue bag to take outside for the binmen in the morning and a load of washing.    Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad

I hope George's wolf comes back soon.  Cry

Why would anyone want to remove someone's avatar?  Huh

Good on you, George.

They also naffed off with the top half of my pyjamas, just in case that's an important clue.  Angry

What do you think might have put them off the bottom half?

I don't know which I enjoyed more, Oliver's French rant or George's translation. Not that it's funny, of course  Smiley.

Washing again, Milly?  Smiley Smiley Smiley Shocked

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Maybe it was the Pure New Wool label?



I should put it on more of my clothes.
