"MSI" - "UPS" and other Linux things...!

enough is enough......! The problem, or one of the problems, about learning a new system, is that you have to be clever and, I make no secret, I'm not but I'm not a moron or a cretin! I'm not bloody minded either! Anyway - Everything I do whilst learning has one rule - it has to be tried out-it has to work or....out! This practice worked whilst learning windows, and a lot of stuff literally flew out of the Windows. This time around, I have to fight with a new system, and a useless company called "MSI". My recommendation to you all is not to touch ANY product from this company unless you want trouble. This is the third time of asking, twice the thing has voyaged (it must be the most voyaged PC ever, and it's not even a portable!) -  "Vauvert-Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam" - AND BACK - TWICE! I ask you - where is the point? I' ve now got a product, brand spanking new, "repaired" twice, on which the half doesn't work - STILL! No...

Here's a couple of things that have happened since the last "have a nice weekend" article.... We've finally seen at least ONE happy Italian......! Facebook told me I'd have to wait a few hours but was working ALL the time - just trying to confuse me.... This truck seemed to be a good buy at the market, but the guy refused to sell - I told him this was "misleading publicity" And Mr. Green gave a brief appearance in South Africa.......! Have a nice Weekend......!

Told you so....!

About a week ago, I published my opinion about the French National Football team here on this blog. I told you so...Don't forget - you read it first right here! Now - here is my follow up, after the latest developements. I have a problem with this situation: Whilst he was saying all this, in a convincing manner for some, he must have been aware of what was to come, because when the Players "striked", that same afternoon, it turned outthat their "deslaration" had been stenographed, therefore prepared, typed and printed in advance. One must assume therefore that Ribery was aware of the situation. In that case he was lying - to the General Public, to the Press to the Organizers and to himself! A FOOTBALL - Téléfoot: Intervention de Ribery (1) 20/06/2010 22:26 vue 11711 fois.     Now - that doesn't surprise me in the least, but what does surprise me is that he obviously believed nobody would notice! He probably thinks nobody will notice that even i...

International nationals.

Image via Wikipedia Watching the introduction to each of the World Cup matches is quite intriguing They have a couple of newish things, with these 4 flags that get stretched out, and (the one I like the best) the "matchball" sitting on a pedestal, waiting for the referee to pick it up whilst passing. Every time I watch, I wish, fervently, that he's going to forget it, or knock it over and have to go chasing it..but - till now - nothing of the sort! The other thing I like and enjoy are the National Anthems, not particularly the way the players sing them, because I think they are all tone deaf, but the best one's are the one's noticable by their absence. The Russian power - the Scottish melody - the Welsh leaky, the Irish danny, and  don't wait to see the Spanish players singing - their National Anthem hasn't got any text...! The Spanish one always seems to me to be a sort of mixture between "Oh Danny Boy " and "Charlie is me darling...
