Thank The Blessed Lord...

Finally I'm back.

Ran out of data (I use a mobile dongle) so topped up. No problem with topping up but Windows 8.1 decided to go crazy. I have sat here for nigh on 30 mins whist Windows 'reconfigures'. 'Don't turn off your computer'. It nearly went out the *** window!

Patience is a virtue,Jackdaw. ;-)

Sounds like it was installing a heap of updates.

Hope you have a long power cord and the window was open ;-)

[Jackdaw33]

It's also a G and S operetta, of which I am very fond, but that does not help me. I am too old to hang around for 30 mins, I could be dead in that time.

[cupid04]

Dongles are a funny thing, hope yours is fixed now ;-)

[Jackdaw33]

Nothing wrong with the dongle. I blame Windows 8.

If you give in to a fit of temper you only need to get a replacement. I remember throwing a heavy glass ashtray through the monitor screen once.

Thought for today :

If we could convince the Chinese that Jihadists' testicles are
an aphrodisiac, in ten years they could be extinct.

[Jackdaw33]

Just realised that the word 'dongle' has two different meanings. I was talking about the one stuck in my computer and not my underpants.

[sandyRoe]

Not necessarily. Eunuchs were common enough in old China. And they'd be angry, very angry.

[SirOracle]

It was the "dongle" that gave rise to my solution to the Jihadist problem.

[Jackdaw33]

Sandy, you are talking ***, or rather the lack of them.

[sandyRoe]

It would all hang on how they were harvested.

[SirOracle]

Sandy You have got the wrong end of the stick somehow concerning the Jihadists.

[sandyRoe]

Jihadists? I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole.:-)
