Whilst perusing the Raspberry Pi s on eBay I cane across several ads for stores purporting to be in the UK, with names like "bestwishforyou88" who were using this, as their main graphic. Oddly enough, several stores in Chine have exactly the same image. I'm not sure whether to laugh, or run like Hell.

In the just announced Theresa May's resignation honours list (WTF?) the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service Cressida Dick has been made a Dame. Dame Dick

My phone gave interesting autocorrects yesterday. The text was to my wife, a response to some disappointing decisions at work.
"I feel like quoting!"
My correction of this was not much better on the subsequent text.
"I feel like quilting!"

All this talk of codgerism reminds me of a story about 4 guys who all retired on the same day from a company they had worked together in for most of their careers. On their leaving do, they made a pact to meet every 5 years for a drink, a meal and a few hours remembering all the good times and experiences they'd had together over the years.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: 6pm at the White Horse. They all agreed because the White Horse served a wide range of the real ales that they all loved to drink.
They had such a good time that they all solemnly pledged to keep the tradition going.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: 7pm at the White Horse. They all agreed because the White Horse had a bar-maid who they all fancied.
They had such a good time that they all solemnly pledged to keep the tradition going.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: 8pm at the White Horse. They all agreed because the White Horse did really nice food.
They had such a good time that they all solemnly pledged to keep the tradition going.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: 9pm at the White Horse. They all agreed because the White Horse was handy for parking.
They had such a good time that they all solemnly pledged to keep the tradition going.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: mid-day at the White Horse. They all agreed because the White Horse did a pensioner's lunchtime special for half price.
They had such a good time that they all solemnly pledged to keep the tradition going.
Sure enough, almost 5 years later, they phoned around each other and agreed a time and place where they would meet: mid-day at the White Horse. They all agreed because they had never been to the White Horse before.
