I see.  Thank you.  That makes it all perfectly clear!  🤣
So 'toffee' is something to do with football?
Footballers are always chewing toffee?  I'd have thought chewing gum.
Some football club somewhere is named 'The Toffees'?

Am I getting any closer?

Quote from: Alex on Today at 08:30:28 PMThe winner Sam was an absolute pain in the arse !  he was very childlike and just annoying, but it was obvious he was going to win.  I'd have preferred Tony to win it, apart from being a Toffee, he's a genuine nice fella.
What's a 'toffee'?   :hmm:

Quote from: klondike on Today at 04:46:32 PMMost of the updates are quick and you get the option when to reboot. I usually just leave it and do an update and shutdown when I'm turning it off.
Yes, that's an improvement.  I still prefer to do the download and reboot when I'm not busy.

How about Rishi buying it, filling it up with UK 'immigrants' and sending it around the World forever.

Trouble is he'd need one every 12 weeks and they probably can't build them fast enough. Still anythings got to be cheaper than giving Rwanda £24O million squids for F all, or the French £140 million for similar.

I wonder if his father in law 'Mr Infosys' would tolerate such a frivolous attitude to his rupees being swilled around in such a laissez faire manner!

Bet he's dreading having to give the 'Elephant Boy Wonder' a job after next years massacre!

Quote from: klondike on Today at 04:51:40 PMI guess they must be running out of ammo past its "Bang By" date so they can't continue to save money over the recycling costs by boming and shelling somebody instead. Still at least they made an extra saving by having the Ukrainians dispose of it all rather than carrying on upsetting all the ragheads themselves.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 12:52:16 PM"  It's like several council estates all rammed together,  "  eh ????  As an ex council estate girl I could take umbrage with that !!!!!!!
No criticism intended, Alex.
Wen ah wer a lad, although we didn't live on a council estate, we did live in a poor working class area.  Although it wasn't a crime hot spot, it did suffer from a lack of amenities and pleasant parks and fields, etc., and was very limited regarding breathing space.

When I made use of the comparison to council estates, my intention was to compare what appears to be close and crowded situations which look very much the case on that ship like the sort of housing area I used to live in.  Not being snobbish, I assure you!
