Thank you, Sir. You're a true gentleman. Guess where my family comes from.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Apropos of the square root of buggrall, I was reflecting on my name. Over on TOP, I couldn't just use "Magnus" as someone had used that a long time ago, and only posted once. We've been digitising lots of old family photographs, and going through them to identify peeps with the help of my Mum. I was brought up (dragged up?) in a tenement building in Leith, and there was a Magnus Leask living on the ground floor. Odd coincidence.

I suppose it's possible, but beware one which involves the use of rubber gloves, under the guise of disease precautions?

Not bothered this year as it rained so late in the year.
For the record it's 45 which is low for the end of June.

Yes, welcome and blessings, EA01. What a catchy little name. Quite trips off the tongue.
Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Thank you RIS!, I'm actually Fliegenmong, but could not figure out how to log back in as that, and the 'contact administrator' page was not activated....I hope I am welcome back!

The Gold Coast Airport location was a clue.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
I am happy to have you back since your post where most interesting. And I hope you are professionally in good shape too.
Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread IV
Thank you OFSO!, did you find somewhere to live?
And thank you RIS, I often thought my contributions were far inferior to the vast majority of others here, so that is very kind of you.
Professionally, well I got made redundant back in March when all the Corona Virus stuff started to really hit....I am making an excellent job of being a house husband for now though.

Morning all.
Usual weather with present temp 21c heading into the mid 30s at least.
Day for keeping in the shade and cool.
Portable air coolers purchased last week are earning their keep.
