Then there was the time the 1999 database was called Millennium Year Archive Storage System, so when the bug hit we could still pull information from MYASS.

Instantly reminded of the Money For Nothing music video. Then I wondered if the character was left-handed or not.

I thought about but this one was quite fighty when anyone got too close. I’ve never found a swan to be particularly placid unless it was injured or so weak it had little choice.
That and remembering advice from the Uppers.
It’s true the babies can be quite casual though!

I had some one tell me they needed a new tomtom and I showed them even their old(ish) android phone does the job for free and is always up to date. Didn’t persuade them!

I had an iMac DV SE (also graphite colour) so I’d probably pick that for nostalgia. The other two are a bit too beige :-)

I accidentally saw some UK television the other day. Can’t imagine US making it any worse.

I like to conflate other words sounding the same, so:

“Peace be upon you”
“Peas on you too”

Of course it could be another word sounding a bit like peas/peace :-)

I have most of mine set to warn (only illicit set to hide). I don’t mind labels but do mind censorship.

List goes on but it’s clear that nobody is really clean and choosing your car based on the politics of the leader/founder is a complex issue!
