    First sorry for that and i am sure i am not the right person to say this, but you have a type error in one of the words. Second you can question everything school teach the children and well everyone has his or hers tastes. I like doughnuts with chocolate for example and OG likes them with some berry jam if i am not wrong

    Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

      [Well it's almost scientific] We were walking to skool this very morning and Younger Daughter said hello to a young chap. The following conversation took place: NV: Is he in your class? YD: Yes, he's my reading partner [rolls eyes] NV: Don't you like him? YD: He's 'okay', but he's not very clever. NV: Why do you say that? YD: He likes Dr Who. So, the jury is in. Dr Who fans are as thick as matron's custard. Further research will be made to find out if Dr Who is the cause of Mr Thicky Syndrome or just an observable effect.

      It's not that they are thick - it's just that Dr Who is a childrens program, right Dave? :laugh:

        Indeed: Strawberry (which isn't a berry) jam or raspberry (which also isn't a berry) jam. But not Banana (which is a berry).

              For the same reason guacamole isn't made from Avocadoberry, and wine isn't made from Grapeberries. But Dangleberries... let's not go there.

              You can: Amazon sells it[^] - well, Banana Jam.

                        How would you get the last of it out of the banana-shaped jar? You have to think of these practicalities in the world of jam-making!

                                I could never imagine why a person would give up their children for adoption. That is no longer true.

                                Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                                  Can't get it out of the jar. You'd be in a jam!

                                    Of course even if it wasn't deliberate you're still one up on him. I spotted two in his admonishment :doh:

                                      Torchwood? Some pretty-boy in a coat with pilot's wings he never earned? I'll watch that when John Barrowman shows some nads and earns himself a PPL. It's not as if he doesn't have the money, or the time. My stepdad - 73 missions over Germany in WW2, DFC, DSO, ran a Y-station in the Ardennes in '44-'45 - he couldn't stand to watch Barrowman, because of the wings.(It's not a gay thing, his own natural son is gay). :wtf:

                                        I could never imagine why a person would give up their children for adoption. That is no longer true.

                                        Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.

                                          Until I read your last sentence I was going to say "Don't ask Barrowman to show us his nads - because he probably will..." But then I did, so I won't.
