**parksie** · Dec 21st, 2000, 01:24 PM

Leave that mental image alone

**barrk** · Dec 21st, 2000, 01:27 PM

**Arbiter** · Dec 21st, 2000, 02:19 PM

This is starting to read like a 'carry on' film...

**barrk** · Dec 21st, 2000, 03:11 PM

? a what ?

**parksie** · Dec 21st, 2000, 03:32 PM

You don't know what you missed, Katie

**barrk** · Dec 21st, 2000, 03:33 PM

I guess I don't. What's a carry on film?

Basically you had these hard disks which you couldn't lift which held approx 30 meg of data. So you would link twenty or so together in an air conditioned room, and employ a priest hood to ensure they keeped working.

Man those disks had a better working environment than us poor smucks in the programming department. Only advantage was they would crash every hour or so allowing us to improve our hall cricket.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi oi oi

No problems five zip to the Aussies in the ashes series unless rain intervenes to save your sorry arses.

I thought we were

Carry on films were a great series of English comedy movies with basically all the same actors....caren't remember any of their names. Sort of Benny Hill on steriods.

For further English humour, (if you exclude the cricket team), score some "Ab Fab" episodes. Pattsy had a huge following in the gay community downunder. Oops, not that anyone is gay down here of course.

**barrk** · Dec 21st, 2000, 04:47 PM

BTW, I checked out Wallace and Grommit on your suggestion....funny stuff!

**parksie** · Dec 21st, 2000, 05:02 PM

The Carry On team (as many as I can remember):

Hattie Jacques
Sid James
Kenneth Williams
Charles Hawtree
Barbara Windsor
Jim Dale
Joan Sims

**barrk** · Dec 21st, 2000, 05:06 PM

I'll see if I can find somewhere to check them out. Thanks, Parksie

**davidrobin** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:04 PM

Since i registered I have posted on the VB and the Database forums, I often wondered how you all managed to make so many posts so quickly. Now I know where you all really spend your time.

**barrk** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:06 PM

We don't get post counts for Chit-Chat..only the other forums count!

**parksie** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:13 PM

Shame...especially after that little "burst" of ours

**barrk** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:14 PM

True! We'd be guru's at the very least by now!

**parksie** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:16 PM

I would be already

**barrk** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:18 PM

I know...you're much farther along than I am...but I do occaissionally have to stop and work for a living.

**davidrobin** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:36 PM

I guess I'm none the wiser then.

**barrk** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:38 PM

There's lots to learn around here. I read a lot of the questions just so I can learn...I don't know a lot...I am getting smarter though!

That's probably the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I suppose my outlook will change when I actually have to start earning money.

**barrk** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:45 PM

Your outlook probably will change a little but if you like what you do it won't be to drastic!

**parksie** · Dec 22nd, 2000, 05:49 PM

I expect so. As long as I end up with something vaguely programming-like I'll be fine

**paulw** · Dec 27th, 2000, 05:09 AM

...I don't know a lot...I am getting smarter though!

I can definitely go along with at least one part of that

Cheers,

P.

**barrk** · Dec 27th, 2000, 04:24 PM

Hey now, Paul.....that could very well be an insult!!!!!!!

**parksie** · Dec 27th, 2000, 04:26 PM

Unless he's talking about him

**barrk** · Dec 27th, 2000, 04:27 PM

That must be it, Parksie. I know Paul is much too charming to be that mean ;-)

So Paul doesn't know alot and is charming?

I can go along with a least a part of that

**parksie** · Dec 27th, 2000, 04:41 PM

Hehehe.

**paulw** · Dec 28th, 2000, 08:20 AM

Who said I am charming? Not the wife, that is for sure...

I would never insult Katie, she is far too nice:-) unlike you two uncouth lads (ahem).

Cheers,

P.

**parksie** · Dec 28th, 2000, 08:47 AM

Uncouth? Moi?

Hmmmmmmm...

*reads post race* well...Katie's not much better

**paulw** · Dec 28th, 2000, 10:32 AM

True, true...

P.

**barrk** · Dec 29th, 2000, 11:00 AM

Hey now....I resemble that remark....no wait...I resent that remark...*reads the post race"...oh well...nevermind

Jan 1st, 2001, 04:24 PM

Whose uncolthed...damn uncouth...your been watching again.

I would not call katie uncouth, after all she is an American and certain things are allowed in that country, especially in Kentucky and Virginia.
