    I've not had many conferences calls today (even though we're in the process of going live this weekend), so I've had more time to listen to calls The Wife (tm) is on.

    We're now running out of a list of hospitals that she considers safe to go to if something happens to her.
    If something happens to me, she'll treat for as long as possible. She knows what to do.
    If something happens to her, she's told me who to call, who will advise me.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Who'd have thunk it?

      As the saying at the time was "what's the difference between static and dynamic ram?".

      "Static ram works".

      Back in the day of the 8080 and the S100 bus & all that jazz.

      Tea: a remarkably fiery chili con carne that seems to have become even more fearsome in the intervening week in the freezer. :

      Sweet: stewed apple and gooseberries with custard.

          Watching Michael Portillo in his Asian Railway programme. It's been repeated recently as 60 minute episodes. In Thailand today.

            considering the gofundme page we are hardly the land of the rising sun.

              Entertainment: BBC4: Maps.

              BBC4: How Britain won the space race. (Are they on drugs or what?)

              BBC4: Mark Kermode on Kinema: Coming of age. Doesn't sound promising.

              Then either Simon Schama's History of Britain or Wonderfalls as the fancy takes me at the time.

                A car’s just been taken away on a recovery truck over the road, apparently at the instigation of the police. Probably a no insurance thing, I assume

                  Watching the recorded BBC news took less than 20s today. Swear, fwd, swear, fwd, swear, fwd, swear, fwd.... Delete recording. Switch to The Simpsons.

                    My O2 level appears to be between 98% and 99% depending on which finger I use and how well I position it

                      It's not just this site, I've see strange moderating decisions on a few sites recently. Facebook's got worse as well, what with all the lockdown n00bs coming on and sending warnings that were first circulated 10 years ago, the same repetitive puzzles, etc.
