Pigeon post is also less likely to crash than FTP/Broadband, because the pigeon knows that his life depends on not crashing. :confused:

D is not a very good grade. C is better and C++ even better. I don't want to bost but I once got an A. A for Assemble on a BBC Micro, but have now sliped down to a grade B. (B for Basic) or is it a grade VB (Visual Basic) :confused:

// Comment to be inserted here explaining how this bit of code works

Example 1 will not work. Error: Syntax error: No such command of function helloWordd(); Try: helloWord() instead. PS. I think I like KISS, but have never found anybody willing to kiss me.

Change all the 'OK' buttons to 'This is what I want to do' and 'Cancel' to 'I do not wish to change my mind' The advantage of this is that you will have no room for any other buttons, so you can't change their test.!

Won't the heat from the light bulb melt the Mars Bar?

Found that page will work with Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 11 Dosn't work with NeoPlanet and other IE clones.

Very funny. Dose the WYSIWYG editor hourglass diaper on 1/04/2014?

The UK will no longer be a United Kingdom but a separated or split kingdom. So we will be called the SK. If we remove the Scottish part of the flag then a number of other flags will be affected. The UK flag in top corner of the following countries; Anguilla, Australia, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cocos Islands, Cook Islands, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Heard & McDonald Islands, Montserrat, New Zealand, Niue, Pitcairn Islands, St. Helena & Dependencies, South Georgia & South Sandwich Islands, Tristan da Cunha, Turks & Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, ... .. :^)

I expect that before we reach the year 10,000 we will switch to the universal date format as used by most of the alien planets we have visited. Also as 1 year is the time it takes the Earth to travel round the Sun, the length of a year will be the tine the planet Zog takes to travel round it's star. If I am wrong, then please let me know in the year 10,001ad.

But only in America as most other countries only have 12 months in a year.

I don't know what language uses a * between two strings. * is usually used to multiply two numbers. EG 123*4 = 492 + is used to add two numbers. EG 123+4 = 127. 123+"4" = error & is used to join two numbers, strings or a number and a string. EG 123 & 4 = "1234" If a language returns 492 or "492" from 123*"4" then in my opinion the language needs an update. The following Visual Basic 5 code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim a As Integer ' or as Long or Double
Dim b As String
a = 123
b = "4"
MsgBox a * b
End Sub

displays 492, but should display an error acording to other versions of Basic.

I used & and not + as & can join a string and a number. + will only add two nunbers or attach two strings. I would usually use CStr$() but as I was not to sure what language this was, used & as it's used in a number of languages.

Don't know what language this is, but I'm sure you could use the following to reduce the code length:

' ...
Return (SystemInformation.PowerStatus.BatteryLifePercent.ToString *100) & "%"
' . End of function.

In BBC BASIC "On Error Off" is used to turn off any error trapping. In Visual Basic "On Error Goto 0" is used to turn off error trapping. But it doesn't go to line zero when an error occur it displays a message and exits the program. So the GOTO command survives but doesn't go to the line you asked it to goto.

Lemmings. Sorry, I'm not calling you lot lemmings. It was a game I played on by BBC micro when not programming. At the time I would rather miss a meal or two than stop playing the game for a few minutes.

It's amazing how many times I see someone answering a question about VBA, VBNet or VBScript, and thinks it's Visual Basic. There are some similarities between these languages, but the deeper you dig the bigger the differences are.

You where breaking the rules, because you where using horses chestnuts and not conkers.

Error message syntax error or Error message add 1 for odd error and not even

Bit off subject but sometimes I want the HTML command <LI> to start at 0 and not 1, or allow numbers under 1. but <LI VALUE="0"> will not set it to 0 I ended up using a table and not <UL> <LI>'s.
