You know your aperos....?

Image
http://www.frenchentree.com/languedoc-restaurants-wine/DisplayArticle.asp?ID=25184 If you don't know your "aperos" or if you just want to check or brush up, here is a simple page from a British/French site. Incidentally, you can make these aperos in UK or USA as well - it's just that you probably won't be on holiday in the sun when you drink them! More reason I suppose to buck up your spirits......!

Amazing things....in chalk...

Hiya Buddies.....!

Friday evening-I'm writing this from my "Google i-page". Boring football match between Barcelona and Donezk (who?) - Is there REALLY nothing else on more than 500 TV channels....? At least - I've figured out that this is really just like "Twitter" except that more people read it! DO have a nice Bank Holiday weekend - and read on........

BAD Internet sales stuff!

http://genuinedl.com/ Do you think this can be legal? In any case, it's almost cheaper to go the normal way! "Death on the road - SERVED UP - at a price......!

Have a nice weekend...!

You use Windows, do you?

Image
You use Windows, do you? You understand - well - a bit about it all....? Like this:  for example....! Windows gives the occasional burp, and it can be quite confusing, but funny as well! Just like in real life-help & support ain't there!  Never mind, there's always something you can try: Or how about this one: At least it will give you    something to do......!     Or you can play Detective, and find "unknown"!    In any case, life wouldn't be quite the same without these little things: Don't you think so......?    ...

What a waste..if it's the real stuff..!

Image
Wherever I looked this Weekend, there were fireworks! In Berlin, the Athletics thingy-ma-bob finished! IN England, at the Oval, The English Cricket team won back the "Ashes" The Formula one car racing finished without deaths, maimings or other.... AND...... Everywhere I looked, I saw this stuff being literally thrown away....... Come on - let's be honest. The place for this is in the mouth, titillating the palate and the cheeks - it's just not made for spraying around all over the place! Dom Perignan is doubtless turning in his grave on every occasion, and - frankly - so do I! Then a thought hit me - maybe somebody had found a market hole - Champagne Magnums, full of lemonade (much more fizzy anyway), for such special occasions! You know - "Buy a bottle of our "extremely fizzy lemonade" and get a magnum of the real stuff free - Price 200$ the magnum!" After all, apart from the sacrilege of using real stuff to shower people, there are the anti-alcoh...

More things that can happen.....!

(to enlarge any image, simply click on it). Do you really look down deep into your PC system to find out whether somebody else can get hold of your details....? Or do you, like most of us, simply rely on your AV System - it will figure out id something "fishy" is going on....? Well - I've got news for you! There are many ways that a "malware" or "malperson" can get onto your wavelengths, sometimes completely by accident, sometimes on purpose, sometimes by mistake, sometimes not. Sometimes the details are usable, often not - due to other factors required. Your CB (Visa etc) can be dechiffered, and used, but not mine - because I've only got overdrawals on my Bank Account! It's just one of thos "uneasy" feelings. Somebody else, even family members, have no business looking at what I'm doing, have done, or maybe will do! Not even "by mistake" and not unless they've been invited to do so, or have told me that they COULD....

Good to know!

trial of new firefox accents etc...

Image
Image via Wikipedia This is the NEW Firefox version - 3.5.2 which I avoided installing, because it didn't want to accept dictionaries and therefore spelling corrections (particularly French accents)! NOW it does, but it won't accept "Google Notebook"! When will they get it right? I haven't tried German dictionaries yet either! Je veux voire si les accents et autre sont déjà accepter sur cette version de Firefox - 3.5.2 (La plus récente) OK ca semble marcher- aujourd'hui .....! (Voir "déjà") "Zemanta" marche également, donc pour la vitesse je peux me servir de "Google Chrome" et pour l'artistique "Firefox"!

A few tips for people coming from "other climes" to France or Germany . (On the basis of some 45 years experience in those countries) (first-le arn a few important words...!) ********************** When I and my wife first attempted to come to the " Continent ", things were considerably more difficult. Europe and the EU were just beginning to understand what was needed, but even then, Brits being Brits, they had decided NOT to become members. Since they couldn't run the thing, they didn't want to know! They quickly learnt....but this fact made our first attempts similar to those made nowadays by Americans, Australians and other "non-EU Countries" Citizens, and it can be EXCEEDINGLY long, tedious and infuriating! 1. Nowadays, I would recommend making contact with European Institutions either at Brussels or Luxembourg , or even in your home country (the EU has many Institutions world wide) - BEFORE making fur...

Just a couple of things.....

Image
A couple of things I found, which please me IMMENSELY ....! 1. "Cannibals prefer those who have no spines." ~Stanislaw J. Lec "You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on." ~Homer Simpson "Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon." ~Doug Larson 2. The Old Man and the Bikers A scruffy old man was eating at a truck stop, when three bikers walked in. The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up, spit into the old man's milk, and then took a seat at the counter. The third walked up, turned over the old man's plate, and then took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner. Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Humph, not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver ei...

"iGoogle"..........!

Do you ever use your homepage from Google? It's called "iGoogle" (Google search it if you've never used it). It's a page you arrange yourself, and if you get it right, it's great. You can share it with others - I don't because it's got "my things" on it, but you can share it with others. The main advantage as using for a start up page is that it charges quite quickly, and it has links to ALL the other standard things from Google, like gmail, Web images, Videos, Maps, Google search etc In fact, I'm sending this little note to you from my "ipage" - I found this "gadget", put it on my page and now - I'm trying it......! Only thing is - I can't put pictures on - at least I haven't figured out how to..... Google ipage - with this gadget, a sort of "Google Twitter"!.

Just for once, here is a copy from a site in the USA, I get their newsletters daily, and sometimes I see a great price for something, post free in the USA, or there is a good tip for using a PC! I always find a way to get the same thing for a similar price, or even less, in Europe, but for my USA readers - here it is - you can sign up yourself as well! Buy One, Get One FREE!!!!
