No I wouldn't... Oh yes you would.... Damn. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Ahhh but what about those that use PC and Mac on an equal and regular basis? Surely they are in a better position to judge? :lol:

All valid points, you can't error trap for idiots. Nowhere in my washing machine manual does it state I cannot wash bricks. :lol: It would be nice though if, just for once, Microshaft addressed issues in current releases instead of spending so much time and effort trying to ship out...

Well that's me told. I usually find those people that attack ad hominem do so as they have no valid argument to offer. :shock:

Hmmm MS saving the Mac? Will have to do a bit of research on that one. Certainly wasn't mentioned in any comp history books I've read (and I've read a few). WIMP was certainly created at Xerox Parc but what did they do with it? Zip diddly. Why show it to Steve Jobs? Why didn't they clobber...

Can't recall ever having to patch an Adobe product but that's not really the point I was making. Microshaft will release software knowing full well that bugs, some of them serious issues, are still within the software. They leave error testing to the user, saves them having to bother, saves them...

That of course is very true but, Gates, and thus Microshaft, crossed the divide long long ago in the pursuit of dollars regardless of consequences to the end user. A 'good' programmer will make strenous efforts to iron out as many bugs as they possibly can before releasing anything...

Ahem <cough> bit behind the times ol' boy. Three button drivers and functionality is standard now in Mac OS and most (sensible) folk ditch the mac offering in favour of summat more useful. </cough> From a one fingered inbred who thinks Microshaft have never originated anything...

The one I love is when you tell someone a price and they say "but 'so and so' say they can do it for (insert lower price than my quote)". First to guess my usual reply wins a virtual cigar. :lol: The next on my hate list are those berks who ask for loads of extra work to be done after the...

Hmmm. Doesn't sound too good really does it?

Yeah but, what's his excuse for not posting. :lol:

Well if I had been 'pished on' then I would indeed have been quite 'cross'.

You can get cement dyes which you either add to a mix or apply afterwards. They do tend to fade quite quickly though.

But I wasn't at all cross, pished maybe. :D

Ditto. Went to a topsy turvy (er.. sp?) night back in the 80's dressed as a girl guide. Couldn't get big enough girly shoes so I wore me DM's. My gilrfriend went as a boy scout and she looked great. Found it a real turn on !!! Should I be concerned about that? You know, boy scout an all...

I've just did mine a week or so ago. It was full of muck and had a, quite respectable, 'lawn' growing out of it. Even the plastic stuff weighs a lot when full of sh*t. The point made above about loose pipes should be noted. A section of my neighbours guttering decided to return to mother...

You can even use it for that but, the thinners cost an arm and a leg. You do get a very nice effect though if you get the viscosity right. HTH

Screwed+Fixed were doing a different type of masonary paint, can't remember the exact details (except it was dearer than the normal stuff and I think resin based), which 'sounded' very promising. Haven't got around to trying it yet tho so, I'd be obliged if you could try it and let me know so I...

No I shouldn't think it would be as many are acid based and may subsequently affect food. Just get off what you can and use a VHT (very high temperature) paint, available from auto shops, where necessary and the heat of the BBQ should take care of the rest.

Yes because when they clog completely you suddenly wonder where 'all the air went', which can be a tad traumatic. :? If you do use a hoover make sure it's not the missus's one, she won't be happy if you do, trust me. :lol:
