  1. The victims of this despicable attack are in my prayers. In these early hours of the judicial police investigation, the motive remains to be disclosed but the attacker has been identified as a local French-Tunisian. All we can do is to remain vigilant against those who seek to undermine and destroy the principles of freedom and justice, central not only to the French Republic but to other nations within western civilisation.
  2. I wonder if viewers would need a 4K Ultra HD TV to watch it... Perhaps each episode would only last seven minutes before it went off the air.
  3. Unable to run it. Min spec demands a 64-bit system with 6GB RAM.
  4. Two businessmen in a new shopping mall were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new shop. The shop wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, "I bet any minute now some pensioner is going to walk by, put their face to the window, and ask what we're selling." No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious old woman walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked, "What are you selling here?" One of the men replied sarcastically,"We're selling idiots." Without skipping a beat, the old dear said, "Must be doing well...Only two left!." Lesson here: Don't mess with old people !
  5. If you put Norton onto your system, you have my sympathy - just wait till you have to remove it... As always, I shall refer readers to the Virus Bulletin and its independent testing of the major products. One can make an informed decision rather than putting ones trust in a company that had a major security flaw exposed only recently (see my post about the tunnel exploit!). https://www.virusbulletin.com/testing/results/latest/vb100-antimalware
  6. Huffington Post published this guide in 2014 for the Tour de France...
  7. I woke up to go to the loo in the middle of the night (as I often do) & I noticed a strange individual with a knife in his hand, sneaking through my next door neighbour's back garden. Suddenly my neighbour came from nowhere and smacked him over the head with a shovel, killing him instantly. He then dug a grave in the veggie patch and put the body in it and covered it. Astonished, I got back into bed. As I tossed and turned my wife said, "You're upset, what is it?" "You'll never believe what I've just seen," I said. ”What?” she said. "That pommy bastard next door has still got my shovel."
  8. Terrible. My sympathies to those who were close to him.
  9. Veuillez accepter mes condoléances à la suite de cette grave perte. Toutes mes pensées vont vers vous dans ces moments difficiles.
  10. And I thought you were posting about the Copa America triumph...
  11. Many congratulations!
  12. At least the fees each would have been paid are all channelled into the charitable foundation to help others. http://englandfootballersfoundation.com/
  13. BBC News reports: "Microsoft has agreed to pay a Californian woman $10,000 (£7,500) after an automatic Windows 10 update left her computer unusable. Teri Goldstein said her Windows 7 computer had automatically tried to update itself to Windows 10 without her permission. She said the update had made her machine unstable, leaving her unable to use it to run her business." Full story: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36640464
  14. I cannot remember a worse display by the national team. Congratulations to Iceland!
  15. Your assertion about London is incorrect. If you're interested in the facts, here's a link to them: http://www.migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/briefings/migrants-uk-overview You seem to have concocted a non sequitur based on a lack of understanding. Have you considered the previous voting behaviour of Londoners? You also seem to support the preposterous notion that those who dared exercise their democratic right to tick the box on the ballot paper to leave are poorly educated. Quite a sweeping statement, I would say. Germany can do what is right for Germany - that is self-determination. However, the people of the UK decided to do what is right for our country. Are politicians so trustworthy by the way? One MP here has suggested that Parliament blocks the exit! He used to be a government minister!
  16. Every area in Scotland voted to remain. Gibraltar also did. As a proportion of the UK population, their electorate is tiny but they are governed by a devolved Scottish Nationalist government that is now seeking a second referendum to remove the country from the UK. Were they to do so and sought to join the EU, the current terms of membership require the Euro...
  17. No, it is not, and you really should study the history of the EU before making a judgment on its metamorphosis from an economic community to a supranational entity that imposes its undemocratic will on those within its borders. Imagine a NAFTA becoming a North American Union, with its HQ in Mexico City and a Supreme Court in Ottawa. Its legislature, in Puerto Rico, would impose laws applicable to American, Canadian and Mexican citizens too. All citizens of the NAU would have a right to enter, live and work in the USA without restriction. In the simplest of terms, this resembles the current EU. I was too young to vote in the 1975 referendum that took the UK into the EEC. As for "free to leave at any time", I suggest you refer to the Treaty of Lisbon... The fact that we remain years away from true independence should convey how "free" we are to extract ourselves.
  18. I know we are on a small island but Scotland is 395 miles away from here!
  19. As long as you drink the proper English ale and not that fizzy imported stuff (the price of which will now be going up)!
  20. I did try to talk some sense into the youngsters but you know what they are like!
  21. If the EU was just about trade, I doubt there'd have been a referendum. However, as it moved towards "ever closer union" and continued the imposition of bureaucracy and legislation written by unelected officials, it ate away at our democracy. Our country's population is now 65.1m, up 500k in one year! Something even the campaigners didn't mention was that the hundreds of thousands of migrants need somewhere to live. The law of supply and demand has pushed housing prices up making purchases the reserve of the rich. (I wasn't aware that the USA had "open borders" that allow foreign nationals to enter, remain, work and live without control in the same way as the EU does.) The actual process of extraction is going to take years and will be complex. For the moment, I can't see any imminent major changes.
