    Why most of the users here become active whenever It's night (@GMT+8)? :doh:

    Look at an atlas and then check the CIA World Data, there are as many people in Europe as in Usa. You have 300 million people, Europe around twice that. [edit] Me stoopid.

      Most definitely, that are Chinese hackers. They will take over CodeProject some day, so we must unite against them.

          That's what we let the rest of the world think. We don't want you barbarians sullying our Eden. Places like Byker and Jarrow don't really exist; they are a fiction to keep the unwashed masses out. All those fat dole wallah's so lovingly wheeled out by Sky News at the drop of a hat - all RADA trained actors.

            I'm in Wales, so it's technically GMT. But this being Wales we are still on the Julian calendar, and use water clocks for timing as there is so much of it falling from the sky...

                I see no reason to be so rude and insulting toward a fellow CP member. It's no more than GMT-58 years.

                      I know that in Wales, every village has a fireman. He goes round the homes every night to light the fire. He will not give his secret of how to make fire to anybody. And I love listening to Welsh being spoken, every now and then an English word crops up in the middle of a sentence because the concept is so new there is no Welsh word for it. You get "blah blah blah Internet blah blah blah Mobile Phone blah blah blah Wheel blah blah blah"

                                        Damn cheek! We stick an "io" on the end:

                                        Internetio
                                        Mobilio
                                        Wheelio Binio

                                        (Actually, "internet" is "rhyngrwyd", "mobile phone" is "ffôn poced" and we don't need the wheel as everywhere level enough to use it is underwater)

                                        If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

                                          I wish, we had full employment back then. That said we also had black lung and welding-induced emphysema so perhaps not.
