Does Google know you're building a Data Center better than theirs? :D

You'd be amazed how tricky some are to figure out, its like they design them to be complex puzzles.

Yup, I think you have to remove the front on the car to change the bulbs on my 16 plate Mondeo.

Get Ahead of Being Dead: Your Handy Planner for the End of Life - Evie King

It's like Viz Top Tips, but for before you discorporate... :D

Just reading the premise of that book has bought me well down

When you're nearly 70, and recently had to sort out the aftermath of an aged relative's passing, you might think differently... ;)

We don't want our kids (in their 30s now, but still our "kids") to have to go through what we did.

And, which is the main reason I bought that book, is she does it in a humorous way...

Books, quite often found to be the only 'humour' that hasn't been sanitized yet

;)

The problem with being perpetually miserable is that it becomes a recursive feedback loop.

I have recently watched lots of funny TV programs and films, so I would beg to differ with your proposition…

. . and you have every right to, but I find humour - the laugh out loud sort - sadly lacking in anything produced over the last <insert number of choice> years.

. . . and don't get me started on everything, everything, now has the common trend of being over the top with morals, goodness & light, and (excuse the word) wokeness.

it's just stale regurgitated political correctness padding out a 15 minute story into a 90 minute film :dozey:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? ;)

Sometimes the 'eye of the beholder' sees things that others don't see, the bits that are missing, (possibly because others have a 'mote' in their eye), in which case the beautiful thing isn't quite as beautiful . . to him ;)

Anyhoo, as long as you're happy being miserable, that's all that counts... ;)
