Gruffalo Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'm not sure but I think most Macs have them built in. However, I have them inline too. I own portable MacBooks so am unsure about the "rigid" Mac. In its present guise, it is a lovely machine and I am sort of tempted to acquire a big screen one but Madam Gruffalo will separate me from certain appendages if I do that and don't buy her a new sun-lounger!

"experts identified the maggots as those of a screworm..." - 'nuff said! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 Morning all, it's hot again, might even get 'very hot' and apparently the Met Office have raised their hot weather warning by a notch and we're up to Level 3 in the 'south east' (looks ok for Tony though as 'south east' excludes the north bank of the river although would appear to stretch as far as the southern edge of Northamptonshire ) anyway here's a translation for those of us who don't understand such things - http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/heat-health/ So with that useful information we're definitely going out in the car once herself has had her hair 'done' - thank goodness for mobile aircon. And may all your track expansion problems be little ones. Have a good day one & all 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Good morning all, Dry, sunny, 26oC, getting hotter but apparently there is a possibility of a heavy downpour later. I'm having trouble even thinking about trying to summon up the effort required to summon up the enthusiasm to summon up the energy to do something. In fact I've just flattened my batteries typing this! Have a good one, Bob. Edited July 17, 2013 by grandadbob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewC Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Good day all. Recovering from the past 2 work days from hell on client site. No air con, no air period. Idiots and rampant d*****-baggery going on. Was one more straw away from walking out. Back to working from home today in cool comfort and the idiot causing my problems has been shunted off for now. To everyone off on hols, have a great time and enjoy yourselves. 9 work days till our turn comes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixoh8sixoh Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Afternoon all. Finally able to post. I'm still confused about what Andrew's missing word was... Not a lot to report from sunny Scotland, apart from a lack of inspiration and motivation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 I love Andrew's Work posts! Took me two minutes to work out today's banned word. **** ** ****! Matthew seems to have acquired a few choice phrases from his time in North America, so I had no problem with Andrew's word. Actually when Aditi comes home after a "difficult" day she always amuses me with her "I was quite cross". 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 (edited) Don't know that one, but there was an alternative version of "Typhoo put the T in Britain" ...... It's very similar. Except it starts with: "Who put the......." very catchy, jaunty toon. I was coming back from a funeral when my cousin, (a very noted Professional Ornithologist, Books and TV - now retired) started singing it! I thought he may have made it up on the spot.... Best, Pete.

(a childhood with cable tv and channels from Spokane to influence me) Interesting that the d-bag phrase has come back to life. We used that in school way back when. I've been hearing it on a few American tv programmes lately but hadn't heard it in over 30 years. I guess its becoming a polite Hollywood euphemism for the C word. Sort of like Father Ted's feck.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 Language and its usage is a funny thing - and the way words drift in and out of usage ditto. E.g, when my Scots friend had been having kittens that there might be an intruder in her big house - there wasn't, as far as we could tell afterwards - she sensibly armed herself with a kitchen knife. I described this as a dirk - yet she didn't know the word. She is educated, from Edinburgh (where they allegedly speak the best English - what happens if Scotland separates?!) yet was not familiar with the name of a traditional Scots dagger. In my yoof, I learned that a country cottage in French is a chaumiere, yet when I used that word with our host when we stayed in one a decade ago, the lady had never heard the word. She is now mayor of her commune, and a radiographer by profession, so not uneducated, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold beast66606 Posted July 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2013 Morning all. A cool morning, currently only 20C but 90% humidity - the temperature will rise rapidly, very, once the clouds get chased off - it will be over 30C in a hour or two. Two more working days, then a short morning waving goodbye and off to LAX, and home again - yippeee. Try the language over here - we are definitely separated by a common one as they look blank at me, I can't work out if it's my Scouse accent, my English accent, my colloquial terms or my English terms that confuse, they just look at me and smile, unknowingly - they like calling me "dude!" a lot - a great bunch of people though. Tonight we are visiting a bar that has 200 beers ... might be a late start tomorrow. Tomorrow we are going to a pier, and hopefully I can photograph the Surfliner train with some surf, and maybe even some of the local sights, the beach has a lot of them apparently, with Daisy Duke bikinis .... it'll be tough but I'll do it for you lot. Have a good day / afternoon etc. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
