P'raps I'll make a point of only turning up at Christmas! It'll be
interesting to see how long that goes on (I expect the Win 95 groups are
still going though, eh? In which case it'll be inteeresting to see how long
the regulars go on! ROFL!!).

Anyway, how is everyone? I trust the bit about Ron being 'blind' is
exaggeration? Hope so.

How's my mate Casey? Kind of fearful asking that. It has been a long time
now! It is 9 years more-or-less to the day, I believe, since I turned up
here. So Mike must be feeling real old! So am I now that Sonny and Cher just
started going on about 'The Beat', going on. La de da de dee. It's like they
say about our 'bobbies', when you want a pine tree there's never one around!

What about her with the hips? Well, I hope, even if she did spurn my
advances back when we were young!

Later.

Shane. Or someone like him.

Yes, Mike, I stopped bothering to run 64-bit versions some months
ago now. Funnily enough it seemed to me that Server 2008 x64 beta(s)
were less memory intensive than Win 7 x64, which is what finally
drove me back to x86.

That's something I've never felt the need to do so not something
I'll miss. As to running 64 bit, although I have PCs running both
Vista 64 and Win 7 64 I have yet to find a compelling reason to
running 64 bit rather than 32 bit other than perhaps due to the
increased memory demands that result from application and os bloat.

Pardon the interruption, Shane, or is it Tarquin?
Mighty good to 'hear' from you again and know you are all right (?)
Was wondering about the 'blind' effect on Figg's husband myself, but assumed
it to be true bg.
This group will live forever, almost, depending on our life span.
The best to you and Figgs, and everyone here now and always,

Harry.

It's Morgan, Harry. Or possibly Potter, Colonel? Anyway my inner Welshman
decided to take the controls for a few hours, to make Joan and Noel feel at
home!

Of course, Joan isn't Welsh (I keep forgetting!).

Merry Xmas to you either way.

Actually I just realised why I put my Morgan hat on. Same thing that led me
back here today in fact!

Hi Puss....

I will try and answer the pertinent points.....but glad to see you back. My
computer went nuts on me today cuz either a) I changed the batteries in my
wireless keyboard, or b) Rogers was fixing a problem from their end, but it
sure was a rather bizarre experience. Flying OE's and IE's, if I tried to
type, it did the same letter (zoom) across the page, crashed, went into Safe
Mode, and I believe I saw a tear or two dripping down the monitor. (G)
Using an old MS keyboard here, but at least there are letters on it. For
some odd reason, I wear them off. (quiet, you lot!!)

Ron is not blind, but he is flippin' deaf when it comes to my voice, grin.
And she of the slim hips arrived on Wed. morning for 2 weeks, so we have
been shopping, natch. Jewellery design is next on the list. Sadly, we lost
Casey on Sept. 28th to cancer. It took me a long time to get over losing
that silly puss!! I never realized how much I adored him. He was my
baby...............Ron's too. We still expect him to amble around the
corner looking for treats. How is Rosie?? Is she still with you?

Off to go eat some brownies that slim hips made. Guess they won't be all
that slim from here on in, lol. She made out a list of what she wanted for
supper each night and actually that is a good idea. Takes the guesswork out
of "what shall we have for supper tonight".

All the best and glad to see you back on here. We should meet up once a
month or some such and keep the old group going.

There's often confusion about what is a Cockney. "Technically" to be a
Cockney one has to be born "within the sound of Bow Bells", however the Bow
Bells are those of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside which is not in Bow nor in
the east end of London but instead quite near to St Pauls in the City
although today many think that being born in the east end of London means
that they are a cockney. As it happens both of my parents were born in the
London Borough of Holborn less than a mile from St Mary Le Bow (not that
they met until nearly 30 years later and many miles from Holborn) so
technically both were cockneys however neither spoke with either a cockney
or east end accent.

Bow Bells are those of St Mary le Bow in Cheapside which is not in Bow nor
in the east end of London but instead quite near to St Pauls in the City
although today many think that being born in the east end of London means
that they are a cockney. As it happens both of my parents were born in
the London Borough of Holborn less than a mile from St Mary Le Bow (not
that they met until nearly 30 years later and many miles from Holborn) so
technically both were cockneys however neither spoke with either a cockney
or east end accent.


Somewhat confusing to an outsider but, nevertheless, believable g.
