No. But when Leon is in Middle-Borough, orders seem to take more than 2 days.

QuoteThat happened in a Ming gunpowder store once. The frugal manager ordered a number of troops to break up the blocks of solidified black powder with crowbars, and there were about five hundred casualties when the inevitable happened.

Yesterday, I had the misfortune of hearing the UK's entry for this year's Eurovision.

It's got "hit" written all over it.* %-(-

What is it about the word "Never" that the interweb doesn't understand.

I mean.......when I click on "Never", I don't expect to get exactly the same sodding question every time I log in to certain sites.

I've said "Never" and I mean "Never." :D  :P

Techno, if, like me, you regularly clear out the crud sites deposit on your computer then "Never" just means for "as long as it takes until you do a clear up."

Yes Mike.  :)
I do a 'clean' once a day as an absolute minimum.
Though I've currently got to do the Setup on the new version of C  Cleaner.
I'll do this later

A clean of what daily?

What sites do you visit that this is necessary?

The only time I do this is when I get a new computer - then its by default not an action

Everything you do on a PC seems to leave random bits of crud behind that is no longer needed so I clear it out regularly.

I'm not dead.

A nurse has confirmed it.

Congratulations LH on the news that rumours of your demise are greatly exaggerated.  :)

It beats this exchange I had.

Me (having my first ever ECG check): "Everything OK?"
Nurse: "I hope this machine is broken."
Me: "What? Hope? Why?"
Nurse: "If it isn't you're dead!"
