@kevHeat's not too bad, just the lack of water. The garden's looking parched. On the plus side I haven't had to cut the lawn for weeks. The lack of water and constant rabbit grazing had kept it pretty tidy.

@kevMy 42 year old son is a bit of a bookworm. When he was young, I bought him the box set of Narnia books for Christmas. He finished them not long after Boxing Day.Most of what I know about literature comes from either him or my 24 year old daughter who studied French and Russian at Uni. I seem to remember Dostoevsky was on the required reads list.@mike @rapidscampi

@kevMr Tickle on the other hand is a lot easier...https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mr._Tickle.jpgUnless our Colonial buddies are referring to a different one. Quite possible as I used to work with Mr Tickle who was a former BBC World Service transmitter engineer.@mike @rapidscampi

@kevThat's what you're doing wrong, expecting a different result.

@kevHe's quite a big one. The ones I keep finding tangled in the algae in my pond are about the size of that one's leg.@mike

Packing up my office for an impending house move and came across my second #Casio digital watch. Bought around 1980 this watch accompanied me to the Falklands in 1982.Might have to try replacing the battery.

@joelThat's a good point. Now I'm curious to find out. It hasn't been opened since 1993 so I'm hoping the battery hasn't oozed into the electronics.

@cooper I had the problem with the greyed out driver options the other day while tring out kubuntu on a new machine.I can't remember the exact steps but looking back through my browser history I come across this:https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-22-04-lts/#Install_NVIDIA_Drivers_-_APT_Method_-_Ubuntu_Repositorywhich did the trick. I'm no Linux guru so I don't know if it'll work in your case but possibly worth a try.

@kevTIL NATO watch straps are a thing despite serving in the armed forces for 22 years having joined just 3 years after the MoD introduced them. 😳@cooper

@fatboyAccording to the UK's National Physical Laboratory... "Unusually in the SI, we also define another unit of temperature, called the degree Celsius (°C). "https://www.npl.co.uk/si-units/kelvin@philbarker

@kevIt could be that Meta is better managed than our economy at the moment and less prone to crashing. Therefore seems more newsworthy.
