He's made a great job of this forum, but we rarely see him on here now. The same goes for Peter. I hope they're okay

Hmmm... yes, him and Peter absent at the same time. How odd. :-X

When you do a reply, Roger, highlight the word you want embellishing, then click on the symbol above the message, that looks like:

Roger, you only have to find S the strikeout button, which is next to the Bold, Itallic and Underline button! You know, third row from the top.... even YOU can't miss it!

It's really upsetting when you shout at me, Vulch. Okay, I'll look for a word to score out. Monkey. Um....
-
Well, that didn't work.
-
Monkey. Let's see...
-
Oh, booger.
-
I am an idiot.
-
I give up.
I wrote out "I give up", highlighted "give", pressed the "s" thing, followed by "post" and bugger all.

Type the word - Idiot, then swipe it - Idiot then press S
OR
Press S and you get [ s ][ /s ]. Type [ s ]Idiot[ /s ] in the middle and that's it!

Don't worry Roger, the most brilliant of people often have trouble with everyday things.

Oh, Diane, thank goodness you're here. They've been shouting at me.

Try a different word, Roger. It works better with two or three syllables when you're new to it.
Try doing the word banana. Do it in green, and bold too. You can have it moving if you want. Just takes seconds, like this:
Banana
A complete idiot could do it.
-
And do it, he did.
-
But who wants a green banana?

I've just eaten, thank you, Diane.

Of course! Even my 11 12-year-old grandson can do this!

I know you could, Roger. I think what I'm able to do is because I've been using a computer for so long. I have no idea how to download videos and stuff the others do; I can't programme ANYTHING at all. My only claim to fame is my Mars Bar Biscuits! ;D

You don't need to, Malc. I remember Marianne Faithfull very well!

I don't remember her THAT well of course, I was too young

I know! But it gave her reputation (and his) a bit of a boost (that wasn't launched until 1985..).

I'm waaaaay too young. Haven't the foggiest what you're hinting at.

It definitely was an urban myth, born out of a police raid on a house where the Stones were staying. The cops knocked on the door, Keith Richards obligingly opened it and they searched the house for drugs.
Marianne was apparently sitting in the main lounge with most of the Stones wearing a bathrobe (having just taken a bath) and it was a scene of domestic bliss, of sorts.
From memory, some pot was found and they were all marched off to the cop shop, none of the sexual debauchery which has become rock and roll legend actually took place, but Marianne admits she did "flash" one copper.

Exactly, Malc! Total fabrication.

In those days, wasn't a copper an old penny?

...or even a new penny.

...no! A new penny was known as a 'p'!

Not in those ancient times. "pees" only came into play after decimalization (1971), and the Mars bar incident occurred in 1967.

OK, Malc. Re-read my posts. If you need any help with the difficult words - speak to Roger.

I think Malc's pedantic point, Vult, is that penny's weren't classified as "old" until after decimalisation. Prior to that, they'd only be old if they had a George or Victoria on them, and new if they were shiny and had ER indoors on them. But then I could be wrong, so I won't mention his spelling of decimalisation.

And we won't mention your spelling of "pennies".
-
Oh, the double shame. <- <-

We've let our grammar and punctuation slip in Mince's absence - time to shape up!
-
Right.
Vulch, you're not too big to go over my knee. :P
You could have a new penny in 1967, i.e. one which just came out of the mint. It was still an "old" penny from our present day point of view, i.e. post-decimalization.
The old pennies in 1967 were grubby and brown, the new (newly minted) pennies in 1967 were shiny.
Neither were referred to as "pee"s, a term that came in well after 1971 and which referred to decimal coinage.
I hope that explains everything. ..0
-
The old pennies were new when they were minted.
-
Vulch, you're not too big to go over my knee. Oh, yes I am!
(In those days, wasn't a copper an old penny?)
OK, Malc. Let me type slowly for the dim on this board.
A 'penny' was the copper coin minted before February 14th 1971. It was colloquially known as a 'copper'; a policeman was also known as a 'copper'. It was worth one twelfth of a shilling, and there were 240 of them to the pound. When writing it on a bill or sum, it is referred to as 'd'.
A 'new penny' came into being in 1971. It is worth one hundreth of a pound. It is known as a 'p' and it written as such on bills or sums. It is NOT also known as a 'copper'.
'New', in this sense, does not mean 'newly minted', it means the 'new currency' that the government/European Union imposed upon us in 1971.
-
Vulch, what did the 'd' stand for?
Everyone who I ask either doesn't know, or says decimalisation, which can't be right...

I think it's denaris or something - whatever it is, it's Latin!
When we were girls, money was 'LSD' - £ s d - pounds, shillings and pence.

When I was a girl, Pluto was a planet.

When I was a boy, Pluto was Mickey Mouse's dog.
Vulch, I'm not going to argue with you any more, as you are just being silly. Or, I will if you give me five pounds.
-
When I was a girl, Pluto was a planet.
My twin brother, Paul, recently wrote a book "Where Did Pluto Go?" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Where-Did-Pluto-Beginners-Understanding/dp/0762109777)
It's been demoted from being a planet, apparently.

How can these so-called experts say that Pluto isn't a planet? As long as it maintains its elliptical orbit around the sun it remains a planet as far as I'm concerned. Bloody idiots.

No way!
I only quipped that because I picked up that book at the library just yesterday! It was in the new book section and I wanted to talk to my kid about it.
How cool is that. ;D
