Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

All water is H2O...there can be minor amounts of minerals which could affect taste, but hardly warrants the cost. There will be no health benefits unless you live in in area with tainted water. Some people spend so much time worrying about their health that they forget to live. And these are usually people so well off that they will live longer than most anyway.

 

This could be it...Murray to serve...must hold to stay in.

 

I drink tap water from the fridge and that tastes just fine to me. Needs to be cold though.

 

Eddie Jordan is one of the planet's great twats.

 

Murray holds after a struggle. Stepanek is very impressive, but neither holding serve easily. Very close match.

Stepanek broken...may rue these double faults.

 

Murray wins a superb match. Stepanek played at his best at the *** end of his career.

 

Whew! Losing in the first round would have been ultra embarrassing, especially having played so well in the last couple of clay tournaments. Now for Johanna Konta to do well, though I have less faith in Laura Robson

 

*awaits Dan's return*

 

Sad news that Cato has died... aka Burt Kwouk and better known for playing Cato in the Pete Selelrs, Pink Panther films. A massive part of my younger childhood watching those films

"Cato, you fool"

US of A? Or Oz? Don't know many places other than those who require a 6 month validity

RIP Burt Kwouk - Cato. Will have to watch some Pink Panther films now to remind me of how funny they were together. As you say, Fats - so much fun watching those in the past - I remember my Dad literally crying with laughter ............

 

I hate technology....hate it, hate it, hate it.

Use a printer about 10 times a year. Now on my 2nd which works when it likes since I changed my computer. Now, not at all. Have downloaded a driver, but still saying not connected....though nicely, it has made a printer I haven't got available. Should I go and buy that printer perhaps (rhetorical question). I have to find a little man who can come to house and just inform the computer that that box connected to it by a cable is a printer. Until then I shall send everything to my friend to print.

Did I tell you I hate technology? Every improvement merely makes life worse.

 

Hmmm .......... I've heard of this problem ............

 

That so represents my conversations with my computer Fran: 'You printed just now, you bastard....nothing has changed.' 'The printer does exist...it existed yesterday, it exists now, it will exist tomorrow....what do you not understand.' 'You are right next to, connected by a cable, you moronic piece of junk.'

 

I know the feeling, Fran.

My son is a IT support engineer (or somesuch title) and even he can't seem to help me when the damn thing doesn't want to play ............. I agree with you - hate technology ........ (most of the time .....)

 

The easy bit is not caring....the problem is that I enjoy some bits of it without any interest in understanding it. Just not user friendly. I have a TV, but am not expected to understand it...turn it on and it is there. Ditto my iron and toaster. The microwave is getting a bit cocky, mind you....but I use just one button and laugh at its programs on offer.

 

I have to admit, I love episodes - MLB is very funny as 'himself' too

 

A last series is being made.

 

There are programs available on a microwave?

 

Singapore

 

Ah! Only there 5 days? Pity - but you'll certainly feel warmer ......
