More guff eh! You lousy rat bastard poncy (*@&#@*& *@&@*&^ @*&^@ @#^&^@_)$)( #$^$^* #&#*&@*&# *#&@*&.

Defrag Win2000 Bunch of smelly pencil necked propeller head geeks. Although to be fair, after the initial defragging of a W2K disk under Linuck I came in with a question about networking, and propeller head Bonadsa was kind enough to patiently help me. Though he couldn't help but jump ahead like three steps of what I was doing.

Blenders Kenny was looking for help on buying a blender. Little whelp wanted to spend like 30 squid. Then buy anything you git; it's frigging disposable at that rate. Now for some reason the pansies within the forum use blenders for an untoward purpose. Cooking. Who the hell would waste a perfectly good blender on food, when there's proper booze about? All the poncy fairies talked about making couscous and such. Boring. The best couscous can't hold a flame to the worse frozen Margarita. Big fairy ponce thread, with the exception of Mrs. TCB.

Removing XP and Installing 2000 Pro Newbie SOFTASS came in with another geek question, what is it with people thinking we know anything technical like. Hell Spinola still use Intel kit, and the rest of the Fairy Ponces run Linuck. Linuck is known for how long it can stay up and running. This is due primarily for the absolute lack of proggies to run on it. When you're just running the OS and not doing any work on the boxen, it tends to run real well. If you want to hear Spinola proselytizing about windows this is the place. A bit of Hard drive punnery at the end.

FTP client Frigging Kenny again, this time asking about an FTP whoosi-whats-it. He's either causing trouble or saying "beans." All sorts of Linuck v. Spindows and AMD v. Intel type talk. You could very easily take any of the various political conversations with had in the past, between the pinko contingent and the militia types. Change AMD to Dubya, and Intel to Stalin and get the same result. Nothing to see here, move along, move along.

Big Gun Silly Picture Spent the most part of this week talking about Chili with a sideline of digi camcorders. If you think I'm going to take the advice of any Poncy Englishman on how to make chili your sadly mistaken. Specially a vegetarian poncy Englishman with rather large hindquarters. For the benefit of the lovely Mrs. TCB I made some Chili this evening, and even took pictures. I will post them later in the week when I can get some nice pictures on presentation. The definition of a good Chili is one that mandates a loo visit within 30 minutes. Trying a little "Tasting" of this batch shows that I have definitely made the cut this time around.

and the 'Doesn't Get It' award goes to.. Spam, spam, spam, spam. Flashy posted some real git who actually thinks spam is a good thing. You know we started the Nuremberg trails for people like this. If ever there was a type of person that needed to be hung by the neck until dead, it's arse-buggering gits like this. Makes you wonder what would have happened in the Wild West if some git like this kept knocking on your door trying to sell you the latest thing in cloth nappies, or "The bestest snake oil in three counties." I'm pretty sure the Sheriff (named Pete incidentally) would not have been to hot on prosecuting the citizen who strung him up on the highest tree. Arsebiscuits.

KREDIT KARDS!!!!!
Friends in Portland. Both make excellent money. Between the two of them I'd say around 80,000 usd a year minimum. They're in debt up to their lower breathing orfice due to credit cards, new cars, new etc.

Never paid cash for pizza for gods sake. Always the plastic and minimum monthly payments. Guess who's hurting right now? We sat down a few months ago and figured out what their interest payments were. That is all they're paying now is interest. They haven't even hit the principle yet. Scary! If one of them gets sick or laid off they're dead in the water and will be on the street like Real poor folks.*.Do you have a savings account? Welll no, we bought some stocks!*

What about the stocks? Welllllllll...........

The aliens are good mushroom pickers, keep the mice population down and open my cans of Spam with their little laser guns. Pretty handy to have around.
