  1. Nxxx,

    That would explain the larger beer I had last night when Darling Wife and I went to the pub. (Yes, a British pub in Philadelphia. The irony never ends.)

  2. Glad to be of use, just don’t get me started on Ã…ngström units.

    Did anyone else survive the jump? I didn’t.

  3. I jumped too far and ended up on the next page. Had to jump back. Can’t recommend the next page at this time–there’s nothing much to do there.

  4. I’m over there now, Ace (not *now* now, obviously, as I’ve nipped back to type this) and it’s all changed. Big Top, Carnival, Clowns (not the scary type). Are you sure you didn’t accidentally jump ahead into the next page of my love life by mistake? Because your description sounds awfully similar to the last page.

  5. The page I landed on had bowls of oatmeal, people clogging on a hardwood stage, pitchers of Tang, and an arm-wrestling tournament. Not sure whose love-life it resembles…

  6. Heard Canadians wishing Americans a “Happy Labour Day” on the ham radio. Couldn’t contact an “A”, “K” or “N” so need to ask the over the Pond members on this board.

    In the UK, all racing horses are given a common birth date, January 1st.

    Do you all share September 1st as your birthday, please?

  7. No.

    Nor do we understand the origin of our holiday which is often called “Labor Day” here — it seems to have no connection to labor except for those women who are giving birth.

  8. And something about last-minute “back to school” shopping for the children who live in states where school starts after September 1.

  9. I thought, therefore I spoke.

    Although usually I reverse that arrangement.

    I’m hoping for ‘bots’ at the Event, Sue.

    I dare not specify further in case I jinx it.

  10. I am only 700 miles from where the event is to take place, but I will stay home even if I am invited, because there is no place like home. However, I will be watching the internet coverage in case Apple announces a phone, a watch, a television set, a sexbot, a variation on the appletini, or a fusion-powered minivan.

    Did they invite you, Sue?

  11. In spite of my many contacts at Apple (not), I’ve yet to receive an invite to an Apple event. But that’s OK because I don’t care for their choice in music.

    I want a new iPad but I guess I’ll have to wait until October.

  12. Nxxx, if I were from a small Welsh town, I likely would not be able to find it again from being unable to remember how the name is spelled. I have forgotten if your home town is one of those that I can’t figure how to pronounce. Do you ever go back?

  13. You are lucky, I’m not from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrmdrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

    Very simple Aberdare.

    If you lot keep taking the Michael, will call Glyndŵr down from the hills above Maccynleth for a ritual slaughter.

  14. I’ll need one to let me know how long it will be before the kids are out of our hair and I can finally afford one.

  15. Shame! Derision! Despised!

    As my Mariner had kicked the bucket, bought a Pulsar watch yesterday.

    What’s my penance besides the ten Hail Steves?

  16. We’re still working on PoIP (Pie over IP), Sue, let alone CoIP.

    Unless cake and pie mean the same thing over there.

    I always got a bit confused about that, to be honest.

  17. Wait, wait, wait!!!

    I thought we were working on Pudding over IP. When did we switch to pie? I’ve been experimenting in vain. Anybody want some pudding?

  18. I thought we’d given up on Pudding over IP and had switched to Pie because it sounded like Pi – as in Raspberry Pi – and all the kids were hitting that PioIP stuff these days.

    Where do tarts come into it? I’d be very keen on ToIP.

  19. Hang on . . . how do we know that was the One True Moltz?

    It could be a fake.

    Say something puerile and smutty and see if it laughs . . .
