Blather, Waffle and Poppycock!

That's the kind of thinking that has deprived me of my opportunity to live in the Alpha Centauri system. 

Well Zefram Cochrane seems to have lived in AC system for a while....he even met up with some humaniods with pointed ears (not elves!).

It all seems a bit illogical to me though

Elves are tricksey, so they might be elves. Hieronymus Bosch, who likely visited AC (or originated there) visually documents other possibilities. You will note that Zefram Cochrane is an anagram of Hieronymus Bosch in Welsh (at least in Techno's Southern dialect).

For part of his exile until 1814, the King of France stayed at Hartwell House, just outside Aylesbury. In honour of this we have a road called Bourbon Street.

Can't help but feel they missed an opportunity to call it Louis Lane.

Tad anacronistic that...anyway it could be named for the biscuit

I bought a pack of Garibaldis. found you can't put them in the same tin as the Bourbons.

Eat some Bourbons and make some room.

Display flags / banners / notices / emblems that are threatening / abusive / insulting at Bristol Airport

I mean, why specify Bristol airport?

Oh the joys of the latest Windows 11 version whatever update ! Aside from taking ages to install, it then signed me out of all of my sites for no known reason. Then last night a very slow computer, caused as I surmised another batch of updates. So this morning turn the computer on and all my files and desktop stuff had gone! A minor panic to say the least, but they suddenly reappeared once the updates were fully installed . WTF!!!

[Orcs]

Yes, I will have to upgrade my PC by next october to install Windows 11. I am not looking forward to it.
