That'll be 20 Sterling for the help Strummy. Payable to my paypal account.

I'm just setting up my own PayPal account Doc - so you'll have some way to send back my change.

2 pence on the way.

Wow - 2 whole pennies

You must be fun in the boozer




Mind you, if I only send you 1p, I'm doing OK!!

You should never use "or" in an acronym! Don't you know the acronym rules?

And you are respected for having an opinion rather than flowing with the masses.

Z,

I take it you are either not married or haven't been married. Having a wife sure puts a different view on things like car maintenance and PC maintenance, or even yard work for that matter (my little German girl is somewhat old world about the guys and gals thing). It puts a whole new spin on driving a car, filling it up and the maintenance thing (oil, tires, transmission fluid and the like).

So I can appreciate how some people can turn on a computer (filling it with gas) and use the GUI (driving even in PC terms), yet not know how change the oil, check the brakes.etc. (disk maintenance, etc.). I think you are like quite a few of us out here that by either virtue of our own curiosity or by our profession have come to know technology inside out.

I take it that you have either always been whipped or became whipped after your little german girl.

Well... you could look at it that way doc, or you can look at it as I can't find a decent woman who knows the importance of basic maintenance. I've found a few but I guess it's not my time yet. Some people don't have the attention span to even want to think about the possibility that it could be important, that is what I am talking about.

No, not whipped. I love my wife but she is rather old world. She takes care of the household stuff and I take care of the yard and what not. There is a marked difference between American women and most European women in that they hold to traditional husband wife roles. I like it that way and it works well for us. I don't have to worry about my wife trying to wear the pants in the house nor do I expect her to take care of the more technical things in our lives.

Down side is she is reliant upon me for a number of things but that's mutual for other things I expect her to take care of. I had an American girl for a wife and it didn't work out. To much expectation in that she thought she could and would do everything. I was just a convenient d***. Who needs that grief? Especially when it came with "how much do you make, what kind of car do you drive. What do you mean you want to go out and play in a band till the wee hours."

I have a friend who is Belarus and has a Russian wife. All of her friends are knock outs. Unfortunately I can't introduce you as they are all in Chicago.

A bit extreme, mate. And I don't think our friend Z would move to the UK. No matter that the cars there are all right hand drive

No no! I said Ukraine not UK!



Oh, and I love curry but not curfew!

Sorry about the misunderstanding Z - I'm a little hard of hearing in my right eye.

Or were acronyminating in your spare time?

U.K.raine perhaps.

ORIGINAL: Doc_Hollingsworth

Strummy's just looking for someone to foot the bill for his curry habit. But at $1150 a month that's a bit steep.

That amounts quite possible in takeaways Doc - but I make a lot of my own Indian dishes.

These are handy to put breakfast cereals in.

I put my home made curry on a plate - plates which I don't make incidentally.

Yes it is a bit Rainy in the UK isn't it. I think you're right Strummy. Deaf in one eye or not.

LOL!

That was quick old son.


BTW, do you know what a 'Monitor return' is, and how/why you'd use one?





Edit - splelling

He he!!

For swimmimg pool, read puddle [after rain] I'm afraid Z.


My Calendar Month does not operate on the Gregorian system I'm afraid.

The Strummarian Calendar is based on the cycle of how much Guinness I owe Doc and therefore how often I have to charge you rent to pay for it.

The system is simple, yet complicated at the same time.

ORIGINAL: Doc_Hollingsworth

Heck who needs a pool. According to the English you can get a tan standing in the rain.

'Tis global warming for you Doc.

ORIGINAL: Doc_Hollingsworth

No Warming. It's been a bit chilly of late. No global warming here. But the lakes are getting oh so full! I'll be trying those out here in a week or two. No matter how cold.

Boating, fishing or swimming Doc?

Or a combination of any two - I don't recommend all three together without a sub.

ORIGINAL: Doc_Hollingsworth

Jet skiing. Or actually WaveRunners.

Beep Beep - that coyote will never catch you out there!

What up Doc?
