You are getting old, when we 30+youngsters wear more and more classic flatcaps and the (german) seniors wear more and more basecaps!
I use Flents eyeglass lens cleaner and it does a rather nice job.I have tried everything on my Mac Air, even the over-priced spray and cloth that Apple sells, but nothing I've tried really gets a smudged computer screen truly clean - less smudged is the best I ever get to.
Thank you, what do you use as the wiping cloth?I use Flents eyeglass lens cleaner and it does a rather nice job.
That's exactly how I feel about metrification. We have had it thrust down our throats because our European neighbours use it. It's simple, all to the power of ten and it's the future. Yet despite all the efforts of government suits, we still quote our weight & height, drive our distance, order our alcohol, measure our car's fuel consumption in imperial measure.
In an effort to get us to comply we had dual measures, like bridge height warnings, then the imperial measure was removed leaving it just in metres. So many bridges got struck by high sided trucks that the duel signs were quickly reinstated.
Unless I'm cremated, I intend to go into a six-foot-six box, to be buried, six foot under.
And thank you Americans, for your determination at keeping the imperial measurement going. It's our exports to you that keeps big business interest in imperial. Mercenary it may be, but that doesn't bother me.
You are welcome.Thank you, what do you use as the wiping cloth?
...when you're thinking about finally trying "Old Spice" after-shave.
I'm also by no means a luddite, and I neither care about most of the new electronic gadgets nor take delight in not knowing much about them. I just get the feeling that I'll one day become the old codger who is mystified and befuddled by some form of technology in the same way as those parents who had their kids set the clock on their VCR because they couldn't figure out how to do it.I reached a ponit a couple of years ago where I no longer felt the need to be in with "the latest" tehnology, just aslnog as what I have fits the task I need. Interestingly, I've found a sense of calm in that. I'm by no means luddite, but there's a certain sense of being free in not feeling the need to have the latest whatsit. But then for about thirty years now I've often taken a perverse delight in my own ignorance of a lot of the mainstream, so I guess technologies of various sorts are just part of that...
200lbs? Nah, you mean 14 and a quarter
stone. You’ve gone waaaay up!
A lean 6'4" 250ish pounds over here.Nah!
At 6’3” the weight should be between 176 - 203 lbs.
I’m at 200 lbs.
Still have room for a pastrami sandwich.

A lean 6'4" 250ish pounds over here.
With room for 3 or 4 really good pastrami sandwiches with zesty dill spears, sour cream and onion potato chips,
and a Dr. Pepper.
It was your idea. I just ran with it.Darn that sounds good T.O.E.
If it wasn’t still raining hard...I’d go to Shiloh's Deli & order
including a chilled bottle of Dr. Pepper.
I recently found a bottle of English Leather in a dollar store. It was the stuff to wear when I was in high school half a century ago. I had no idea they even still made it. I bought a bottle just to smell that scent again. It took me right back.Love it!
I just realized why I came out so good on the deal. What they are counting on, is locking you in to another two year contract at an inflated price! But, it seems, someone made the mistake of Grandfathering me into my current low price. Sometimes it pays to be lucky!Remember the adage: "If the service is free, you're the product."
You have the perfect painting of my dream house! MGs, pump and all.My wife's sewing cabin now resembles, from the outside, an old Singer Sewing Machine shop. The garden will soon have a new 'retail' outlet. I'm converting the garage to look like an MG repair centre. It will come complete with old style pre-self service fuel pumps, an adjacent bus stop and a phone booth.
On the touch screen in my truck, computer monitor and phone I use Glass Plus, because it does not have ammonia. Works great!I have tried everything on my Mac Air, even the over-priced spray and cloth that Apple sells, but nothing I've tried really gets a smudged computer screen truly clean - less smudged is the best I ever get to.

As far as dream houses go, how I would love to live in a restored railway station, complete with a platform full of artifacts, maybe a signal box and lots of other memorabilia.You have the perfect painting of my dream house! MGs, pump and all.
