¿Qué?

Always worked for Manuel. PP

Re: I was hoping for the

Nope, for that you need a dog or 2. PP

Re: What? you mean

Personally I prefer 10.x.x.x because I;'m a lazy typist. PP

Re: Launches already are routine and garner no mention in the press

"How many people go running out to see an aeroplane".....

They used to, around my way when Concorde went out of Heathrow. Even the locals! PP

Icon. I'm not bloody waiting for Friday.

Re: Pomona ad astera

Sadly for Strongbow (not my favourite) there is a commonly repeated missnoma that it's never even seen an apple.

I have it on good authority (Herefordshire farmers) that it is indeed made in Herefordshire and just as deserving of the title"cider" as Westons. Tho' I'd rather drink the latter. Stowford Press anyone? or perhaps an Aspells from Suffolk. PP

RE: Hyperactive-self-surveillance society.

Too late, we already have one of those.. at least in England, Wales, Scotland and NI etc. PP

Re: @ Aodhhan

I hope I never invite a withering stare from you Pascal. PP

Billy Joel.

Thanks for the link veti, also caught the follow on "Piano Man". Clearly a slow Friday. PP

Re: Saw in Action Twice

Sadly only once close up. The return leg of my 1st visit to the US from SF we finally pulling into the Heathrow stall in our big Boeing. The next stand had Concorde on. Boy she looked small (but perfectly formed) & I felt right back at home.

Re: Gary Newman?

Well Dr Whos friends ARE electric so it could fit, Oh wait, not THAT Gary Newman. Shame, could have been fun. PP

PoTUS State visit.

I'm more in favour of various quoted sources in that what is unprecedented is the speed at which he was invited. Perhaps we should have waited until he has done something that has been proven to have been worthwhile.

I don't necessarily want the State visit but now it's been offered....

Re: SciFi Channel version

Gurney Halleck, Agreed, but Patrick Stewart is one difficult act to follow.

Re: possible to bread freedom

You can do it to our Mars bars but you can't have our FREEDOM! PP

Re: "Congratulations Wil! @wilw @WilliamShatner"

Perhaps he's too busy being a proper actor to post stuff on social media. PP

Re: Hamster-powered reaction wheel

Shirley, as there is micro-gravity, you just need a much heavier Hamster. PP

Re: If I were paranoid I'd ask who funds such research.

Possibly CrazyOldCatMans Cat, certainly has a mean streak. PP The Cat, not CrazyOldCatMan!

Re: Pedantic geography point

Good point phy445. A quick Google map search suggests they are some way from Galway Bay, even the south side. Pedants UNITE! PP

Leia, CGI? I think not..

Tho' my son did point out that the lip syncing was less than good. PP

Matches.

I never fly with the Zippos friends and family have bought me. Usually, just a compressed gas "Clipper" like lighter for that 1st fag (sorry cigarette) when I leave the terminal.

If it gets confiscated, I'll buy another or scrounge a light.

Somehow, I don't think they are any safer than matches or Zippos, but I've never had one confiscated yet. Hmmmm. PP

Re: the only well-known May worth talking about (IMHO)

Not forgetting the sainted Brian May... oh he of the Queeny tones. PP

Re: Forgotten sarcasm icon

and to date 15 people didn't get it. Shame. PP

Re: "We'll make great pets!"

I know lots of humans. Personally, for pets I'd rather have dogs. PP

Re: H2G2 Reality Distortion Field in effect here....

Read on good Sir there's more....

"makes white goods: fridges, TVs and aircon units, as well as TVs and display panels."

Sub-Editor(s) in the pub again.. PP

Re: Thats nothing.....

Thanks for the BBC link. Who says Yorkshire folk and Lancashire folk can't co-operate, at least for the grater understanding of pie. PIES IN SPAAAAACE.

IDKFA

..and perhaps an Earth shattering KBOOM! PP

Random hyphens....

....I was wondering where the authors hyphen (-) is on the keyboard. Samsung on my keyboard doesn't take my clumsy fingers anywhere near the - key. PP

Re: Silly people

Caution....may contain nuts. :)

Sandwich getting paid...

Neither did Lord Cardigan or Lord Wellington but you don't normally eat those.

Re: Izal

...and if you had a plasic comb it made a really good impression of a Kazoo (even if the taste was a little off). PP

Re: Wake me up when Concorde returns.

Co-incidence. I worked in Arkwright Road in Reading (it's not a very big street). Visitors from out of area used to stop and photograph it if they could get to a camera quick enough (pre-mobiles). Even the good burghers of Reading used to come to a standstill in Broad Street @ 11:00hrs on a Saturday (at least I think that's when it was). PP

Re: What do you mean by "click"?

I thought that was what Solitaire was for. I remember presenting my 70 something Mum with a mouse to play a DOS version of Risk. Took her 10-15 mins to get the hand eye co-ordination thingy going before she could even deploy troops but that's training and your diatribe to the Manager was most justified.

Have one of these squire.

Re I love techno toys.

You can have an upvote too.

No I don't sell Googly stuff.

Re: Parallel Universe of IoT hurt

Late night tea and crumpet? Disgusting behaviour.
