I suspect someone will have noticed the error in today's Times by now. It does conjure up a slightly less gruelling job than that of war artist though, doesn't it?

Wart artist's drawings judged too horrific for public finally bear witness
And me Furor. I used to manage my Mac 10 years ago yet now they're more and more complex. Like mobile phones. I only need a mobile for phone calls and texts - they're impossible to buy.
Na. You seem to be doing O.K here, and YOU are doing something quite a bit more important with your computer, than writting pages of badly spelled, illiterate crap on "Facefuck".
Thanks for the compliment Furor. Surprised me. :) I do the best I can and this machine answers my questions most of the time. Thinking pre-computers, the amount of time spent looking for information was endless.
Aye.I have sais elsewhere, THIS WEEK, that it was a PAIN in the arse when you thought of an idea that needed research, at 3:00 AM, on a bank holiday weekend Sunday morning.
First, hope you had the relative info on your book shelf, if not, you had to wait until Tuesday, when the libraries bothered their arses to open around noon, THEN hope like HEL that they had the relevant info, without having to wait three weeks for an ordered book to arive from some obscure corner shop library on the Outer hebrides. And THEN hope even MORE like HEL, that the book that arrived has the info any way, and someone has not ripped out the single page, containing the single sentence you were looking for.
Now GREAT, within seconds, You can access every library in the world, plus universities, and thousands of other sources.
YET, the Press seem not to be able to get their thick bloody heads around the idea, ans STILL illustrate an article with a caption "An F-4 Phantom" under the picture of a Sopwith Camel.
THEN people say "you are addicted to the internet"
YES, but like I was "addicted" to a bloody survival suit whilst on a fishing trawler in the Arctic ocean, at 3:00 AM on a January morning.

There just appears to be no standards in Britain any more.
Nobody proof reads, it's done by spellcheck I suppose Furor.
I suspect the headline would be more truthful worded in the following manner.
War artist's drawing censored during political bun fight.
The PM said when questioned -"We have a country to run for the people who matter. It's not for them to know how we run it, or intend to run it."
Makes you wonder just how much is hidden until we're dead doesn't it RA?
I'm going to be totally pee'd off Rosa if, dead as a doornail, I suddenly find I've had all of the answers all of the time.
Mind you, just imagine if we can get on to the www? Exaltedrosablonde.blogspot?
Just imagine RA! These youngsters would be dropping their laptops like hotcakes. Now there's an idea though - maybe I should arrange that...
Laptops, or indeed ANY type of computer, are wasted on the young.

That is more what I meant. ;-)

Rant over.
Thank you.
Thank *you* Furor.
