Puzzle game procrastinator!
You've got Android on a 40 year old phone?! :eek:
No, he's got some dodgy software bug on a more recent phone! :okay:

Speaking of bugs... I discovered that I had introduced one on the puzzle game that I am writing. The game stops when the player runs out of moves and displays a 'Game Over' popup box asking if (s)he would like to play again or try a different game. If the Cancel button is clicked instead of the Ok button, the old game can continue to be played forever more without any further stoppages! "Moves left: -156"... an hour later "Moves left: -437" and so on... :laugh:

Started young, and still going.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
I've been awake since 03.30 for some reason.
Today I will be down at my son's place to dismantle his old rotting shed, so it won't be a difficult job. I was 7 when this shed was put up by my dad, my son bought his house when he had to go into care 5 years back. My name and footprints are still on the underside of the roof as I remember running over the panels when he was erecting it in 1964.
It's drizzling at the moment and is going to be a bit of a damp day:rain:

Stay safe everyone :cuppa:

Hi gang!!!
Remember when you were 10ish and were part of 'the gang'.
Imagine cowies and indians.......and having Mo or Welshie as squaws :wacko: (I may have to go and lay down now).

An enforced chill day as MrsD is self isolating prior to tommorow's operation. Son (travelled 60 miles) and daughter both want to visit today but the poor girl is trying to do the right thing.

After 5 months of waiting my new lounge suite is finally arriving today.

Monday is shopping day for me as I leave Saturday for those working during the week. Sundays, here in France, are not a shopping day. Weekends still largely family time. Plus I need to investigate lighting options for my bike.
Hello Waffles.......a nice area you live.
How far from the coast are you ?
Depending on MrsDs health we are thinking of a Brittany holiday but don't want to drive far after the ferry.
We stayed further south west (la Tremblade) a few years ago but were disappointed in just how dead it was in June.

Forgive me for being peckish but what exactly does that mean? You are good at doing what ? You are good because you are a good person ?
When asked " How are you? " It seems to be the norm these days to reply " I am good" . Rubbish, this is meaningless by itself, you should reply " I am well, thank you" and this is what I say when asked. Doesn't anyone speak proper English anymore or just foreigners like me?
Rant over thank you.
I have some agreement with you on this but not entirely.

I might well answer "Good" or "Good, thanks." and my response if I'm feeling under the weather could be "Not so good" or "Pretty shite really" depending on how off colour I am. Often I'd use those if I'm feeling fed up to some degree.

I think language evolves but some change I find really irritating. "Like" and "OMG" really get me going. I actually feel OMG is offensive and meaningless. The other thing which gets me is changing word use and then berating those who aren't up to speed. "Woke," "Non-binary," and "Lens" are current pet hates. I also don't like trendy, derogatory descriptions of others "gatekeeper" and "gammon" spring to mind.

That's today's rant over.
