Yes, I was joking, lads.

Certain Gooners, of course, wouldn't believe that. However, the extra full-stop (used on each successive posting) is the give-away; it's required, because the system will not allow one to make an identical posting within 5 minutes.

On Twitter BRB (Supermod apparently) said changing your view to 30 posts a page sorts a problem with viewing threads they have at the moment.

Control Panel>General Settings>Number of Posts per Page

For those who haven't done this before.

Reposting a fact I found on Twitter, worked for Spurm apparently.

Just to keep you amused/ busy while waiting for the next windows of opportunity (to post).......

Here's a little story I thought you might enjoy:

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether 'computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself
spending half your paycheck on accessories for it..

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won.

My computer always seems to crash. - might be something to do with the drivers.

Definitely female.

Yes, most of the time what I write is as serious as it is erudite, but there is the odd occasion when I like to have some banter. Less enlightened folks call is "wumming," but that is merely because they are afraid that they may be gutted like a fish by my rapier-like wit.

But mostly I'm serious.
