I was rather drunk when I first saw that. It seemed to make sense then.

It's a reasonable take on a Philip K. Dick novella, "We can remember it for you wholesale".

Which explains the reality shifts.

Loved the bit where his wife gets offed.

You might also add that I'm dead if she ever finds this site.

I think that applies to many of us.

You never know though, the lustee might be flattered.

Either that or you can expect to spend the rest of your working years behind bars!

Swansea Jacks. As the more troglodytic of the inhabitants are known.

Wasn't Swansea Jack that dog that saved people?

Calling the lowlife residents Jacks seems to me to be harsh on that poor dog.

XP was the Windows operating system that was going to be alright. Just like Vista was. And Windows 7 will be. And NT was/. And 2000 was. And ME was. And 98SE was.

It is alright.

As long as you don't a) patch it and b) connect it to the web.

The unpatched unconnected lab computers are mostly ok.

It's the other ones that are a pain.

Are you really downloading 51 things at once?

I don't know whether to be amazed at your confidence or that 33 updates have downloaded without failure.

They're generally ok during the download bit.

It's during the installation phase that everything tends to go tits up.

Or my working life might be rapidly curtailed on that site.

I think (though I'm not sure) that it's a Rugby thing.

Llanelli are referred to as Turks.

Neath are the Blacks.

Swansea are the Jacks.

Or something.

There is/was a saying "I'd rather be a Black than a Jack" which might be taken the wrong way under some circumstances.

Not being an avid follower of rugby, I was rather confused when I worked at "A major magnetic tape manufacturer" in the 1970s.

There was a lot of reference to the Loughor bridge, which, apparently, is the dividing line between the Jacks & the Turks.

Beats the crap out of me.

Feck.

Time for bed said Zeity.

Feck off said the Lustee, I prefer looking at the stars.



Byeeeee Mind how you go.



Start of term tomorrow.

I wonder wot sort of intake we'll have this year.
