@liw I was hoping for Harpo and Groucho, but those initials are already taken.

I was spending some time comparing bottles of fizzy orange but was told I was simply Fanta sizing. #puns

@penguin42 @thinkl33t Fond memories of wandering around the back of their Middlebrook warehouse while Shelley checked where the Registered ECC RAM that should have been in the safe had disappeared to.And long before that their place in Little Lever which was a bit like waiting for a doctor's appointment.

@penguin42 @thinkl33t Yes it did. Then you went to Shelley's office and he entered the order, took payment and then wandered off to fetch it from the stock room. That day I bought a CD drive (with caddy).

@grammargirl Definitely not driving that way. Don't think my insurance covers such impacts.

@mjg59 Lidl UK's loyalty app thinks my HE IPv6 endpoint (in London) is outside the UK and geoblocks it. (The rant about Virgin Cable *still* not having native v6 support is for another day.)

@mjg59 Greater Manchester Transport buses from the 1980s would like to sell you some ClipperCards.

@mjg59 The worst thing is when the clocks go back in one country a week or two before the other one.

@mms @vkc There have never been any legitimate HTML emails. I'll admit MS-TNEF was worse.

@JF Imperial probably only applies to lengths and volumes from the former British Empire after the creation of the USA. The gallon and its derived fractions are different.The main pre-SI weight systems are based on avoirdupois or Troy ounces. Fahrenheit is not particularly British. But a combination unit of Fahrenheit for warm (eg. room or summer) temperatures and Celsius for cold ones definitely is a British thing.

@justine The same. Probably cached on my instance. When I open the post directly, Moshidon directs Firefox to your instance where it's OK.With PNG there is often the alpha channel to consider too. If it's been cached testing will be a headache.
