Why is UKRM more active than Reeky?

Indeed

 

I'm sorry...or are you bragging?

 

yes.

 

Ah right, tried on PC reader but so far it's not that inspiring. I
guess I'll need to try a few.

 

That took you how many days to work out what to say ? And then repeat
something ?

Muct have been all that modern HD stuff you ride.

 

Ah, your reply succinctly shows how you earned your YTC rating...

 

Works for me...my last line was 1984 (too lazy to count up the years
on the fingers and toes) but I was wee lad and knew nothing of
computers and tried to learn COBOL and RPG7 at the same time whilst
attempting to type up my own punch cards. With my terrible typing etc
you can guess why I gave it up as bad job and best swept under the
carpet.

 

I presume you mean RPG2, rather than "7". I used to do some of that
sort of thing on - IIRC - a Nixdorf IBM-clone thing.

I once worked in my uncle's 1-man-band precision engineering workshop
where we had a CBM (something) that was used for very basic CAD, and
was connected to a teletype machine with a paper tape function; the
paper tape was then fed into a Bridgeport CNC milling machine. This
was fine in theory, except the place was so full of swarf and general
crud that the tape rarely made it in one piece from the teletype to
the Bridgeport. Happy days.

 

I spent part of my gap year working as a lab technician for a
neuroscience research group. When I discovered the scintillation counter
produced paper tape (it had a teletype for output) I wrote a program to
process the results, saving the graduate students from having to draw
hundreds of graphs. In the 70s lab practice was a bit more haphazard
than (I hope) it is now, and I always suspected that the teletypes in
the Student Computing Service terminal room were getting gradually more
and more radioactive as I fed in the yards of tape I collected off the
lab floor.

 

And yours shows how little you understand

 

iyrc it was the mid 80's I plead heavy metal poisoning by a Judas
Priest. But that's how I recall it...honestly I've FINALLY purged all
but a hint of those memories.

 

Oh look who's talking now! sheesh and I thought america was thick with
"kill the green monkey" types.

 

No, America is full of "shag the green monkey" types.

 

It doesn't cost anybody anything. There's a program that gives totally
disabled Americans a free pass to all the national parks in order to
draw them out of feelings of loneliness and despair.

However, a person can feel lonely and desperate no matter where they
are.

For instance, you Limeys have several islands that are just filled to
overflowing with with lonely desperate people, so the most desperate
immigrate to Canada, Australia, or New Zealand so they can sit in
front of their keyboards and infect the rest of the world with typical
Pommie misanthropy.

No, the Burger King promotional offerings are a business-stimulating
loss leader for the franchise owners and the US government has nothing
to do with it.

But franchise owners in high rent districts are angry because they
have to pay minimum wage workers to keep up with the demand for fast
food sold at a loss.

If I could find a more convenient source of taurine, I would never eat
at BK...

 

Naw, that's jest the po' white trash types the rest of us are
civilized...fsvoc. 8^)

 

Actually, my consort and I manifested her Harley to England whilst
practicing tantric yoga.

In order to conserve my precious jasmine droplets, I thought of the
most unpleasant place on earth (England), and after my consort
completed her screaming orgasm, she enquired, "Oh, Precious Guru, what
happened to my Road King?"

I replied that she was, after all, responsible for her own orgasm and
that we would have to continue our conjoined meditations to bring it
back...

 

Full of mods that have no cocks.

 

You need more taurine? With all the bile you spew over usenet?

 

That's genius.
