I've wondered about it for years but after seeing a small spirit level in the collection of a man who collects snooker and billiards ephemera I suspect it was for checking the level of a table. The trade name on it is 'Vest'. Well that makes it obvious then, doesn't it? It is for checking if your v...

Well I don't think she has much to fret about! I'd say she was unique.

That's it, all of the crap has been uncovered and removed, and re-construction has begun, the old tiles are now in a skip. Three different grades of tiles had been used and fixed in place with four blobs of liquid nails leaving a void under each tile of about 1/8", spider homes, re tiling begi...

Yes, but it is often more vulgar these days.

It is for checking very small levels.

The best way to deal with them, that I have found, is to just keep them on line, by talking any sort of nonsense that might be faintly plausible. Sooner or later they realise what is happening and then ring off....with a nice addition to their 'phone bill.

if at first you dont succeed. etc.

Very good.
It always puzzled me why a slow blues singer should aspire to being known as Rushing.

If you like "trad" just try these chaps. Fairly local lads.

I suggest you have a word with your mate....that sort of thing is not nice.

In the Lancashire Evening News it was said to be one of those that support the fence near the main gate. But it also claimed that he was going to put it back.

I think the teddy girls would be most insulted by that.
However from my recollections it would be pretty apposite in many instances.

Ah! Well! If they mastered Basic they were indeed clever little pigs.
How were they on C++?

I have just noticed that when a topic goes over into multiple pages the original topic post doesn't appear at the top of say Page 2 like it did on the old site. I will delve into the code and see if I can get it to show the original post on top of each page, thereby making it easier to keep the thr...

You were right kind sir. I found them. Thank you very much. Still quite a snug fit despite the attentions of...

I seem to have lost my spinning balls. I looked in the avatar repository in vain. Does this mean we have had a visit from the vet??

".... things could have been much worse." That's the platitudinous sort of thing said by people who "Know" that things could always be much worse.

I think you have done a bloody marvelous job. Doc. Thank you.
