In reply to June Hughes (junehughes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) who wrote this in

IPods are great. You have all your music in one place; they are
portable; you can play them through a speaker system indoors, saving
looking through - in our case - thousands of cd's; their data is
easily updated.

See, they make one, someone buys one :-)

I make chips for a treat for the kids by shallow frying them in
olive oil in a frying pan.
Deep fryers are good too. I have an ordinary one without a motor and
use olive oil in it.

A motor? What would one have a motor for? Do they now shake the chips as
well?

For music I use a CD player, a radio, or a guitar. For
amusement I either read the paper, do the difficult killer Su Doku
or go to the pub and take the p'ss out of solicitors and suchlike.
The latter is most fun.

Each to his own. As we all play a musical instrument in this house,
we make our own music a lot of the time. Can't understand why you
would want to take the piss our of anyone though. Life's too short
but if that's how you like to spend your time, it's up to you.

Some people watch other people having the piss taken out of them on the
telly. I don't have a telly :-)

The only electrical invention to which I have succumbed is the
slo-cooker which I can't believe I have done without for so long ...
and it is easy to wash up as the cooky bit comes out. £20. Bargain.

Waste of time, IMNSHO. Better to use a modern version of a hay-box -
no cost after heating up on the stove-top then transferring to the
box for several hours.

Yes, but I would forget and leave it on the stove. I boiled the kettle dry
yesterday, wasn't half hot when I picked it up.

Technology, schmecnology. And I'm a programmer.

I was a programmer in the '70's. Autocoder;Cobol;Plan. That was when
programming was exciting.

So was I, COBOL and PLAN too, when ICL as ICL :-) And I still am. Trouble is
people pay too much for me to do what I really want to do.

If it was still exciting I wouldn't be posting on here :-)
