Spring-Easter and stuff....

Image
if you want to know ALL about Easter - click on the title..........! I wanted to do a thing on Spring, but looking back, I saw that I have already "didded" one last week or so. I haven't, however, done a real one on Easter, so hard luck, folks! Spring is Easter, and Easter is Spring, everyone knows that! I think one could safely call them Spring Eggs, or Easter Lamb, but I still am trying to figure out where the hell the bunny rabbit or the hare came from, and when. Apart from the religious connotations you have all given to Easter, I associate it with buying half carcases of lamb, or even whole carcases. I had a tendance to glutton myself on Roast lamb, boiled lamb, lamb stews and all the other lovelies! Now, as a poor pensioner, this is beyond me, and having no teeth any more anyway, I couldn't bite lustily into the lovely rose/pink meat . They say that a good memory makes up for certain things, I've got a lousy memory, but - I can still r...

Spelling, or is it speling...?

Doesn't bother me how or what people write - so long as I can understand it! This site does give a spellchecker, I've never used it, but here's something I found on the Web: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> My Spell Checker I halve a spelling checker, It came with my pea see. It plainly marks four my revue Mistakes I dew knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a word And weight four it two say Weather eye am wrong oar write It shows me strait aweigh. As soon as a mist ache is maid It nose bee fore two long And eye can put the era rite Its rarely ever wrong. I've scent this massage threw it, And I'm shore your pleased too no Its letter prefect in every weigh; My checker tolled me sew. So you see - nothin's perfect...!

They used to say that when business in the City of London was good, jokes and humour abounded.... or was it the reverse...? In any case, I haven't seen or heard anything amusing at all coming from that infamous quarter, mind you - I live far enough away from it, anf I've got used to living with little or nothing! BUT......I've still got my sense of humour, and I'll share a little bit of it with you........... Incidentally - these are some of the amusing things that can happen in the Translating business Salad - complete salad....! I suppose so! The bankers prefer pistols to the head - but this is sound advice: AND THIS - well, it's true - this sort of thing ALWAYS happens to me as well. "CATCH 22" situation - I don't play the obvious, I don't win, the others crow- but don't know...! Well - it's only a game - just like life.......!

Nothin's perfect...!

True - nothing is perfect, not even a PC Robot..! Imagine, it does the same thing when you use it for foreign languages, which is why it's best to have a little knowledge of the language you're going to translate into! Just to avoid the more obvious mistakes. I use spell checkers within Mozilla/Google/O.Express and many other programmes, but mainly to have the various different accents required. Otherwise, I'd have to change my keyboard settings all the time! Even then, there are certain programmes which will not accept the accents at all, and a simple word in French such as "déjà" will end up as "d@#j@#" or something similar! This happens, unfortunately, on my websites at Webspawner.com, so I don't use them - which is a shame, 'cos people think I'm just ignorent! I am - but that's another story......! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...

Just for you!

Ever thought - "I'd like a picture of that"? Then you try the "print screen" button - and nothing happens...! Well - here's how to do it - quickly and easily (free as well)! The above is what is called a "SCREENSHOT", useful to transpose what you're actually looking at on your PC screen into a photo you can keep wherever, or send to anyone. I use them quite often, particularly to illustrate articles, to give directions (together with a link to the page concerned) and importantly - to have proof of certain things that happen in life! I keep my important documents - Passports, Certificates and so on - not only as individual photos (you can always use the photo if you lose the actual item, to get the serial number of a Passport, for example) but also as a Screensaver, because, that way, I'ver got them all - on just 1 photo! There are a multitude of uses, and also a multitude of FREE programmes to do it with! This particular SCREENSHOT is ac...
