It's great how once in a while something silly catches you and you laugh so much your face hurts and the tears roll and you get a stomach cramp. Let's have many more of them I say.     

Yo Jan. I tried emailing Roger to no reply but it seems he has another email which he does respond to. I'll ask him to get in touch.

I was chatting with an Englishman the other day and I mentioned how nice the weather was and he said bet it rains by the time I finish work, so I said yeah, sods law. to which he replied, in all the time I've been in Wales I've never heard a Welshman use that frase...well you have now

One of my favs comes from my mother, "be careful, if you come home dead I'll kill you" I think she meant it as a joke?     

The problem that I have with social media, Richard, is that its more like anti- social media. Everyone seems to think they have the right to slag people off even if they don't deserve it. At least on Chordie everyone is polite and if they can't be they keep it to themselves. We used to have posts on camping and sports and even day to day things. I wonder how people picking up a musical instrument for the first time get on with all the abuse. I think a few people have got famous very quickly through being " liked" on Facebook. Well good for them, but it's a long slippery ladder.     

As ever Pedr deep, thoughtful and pertinent. I think that passenger seat is metaphorically full as we've all been there and some have actually realised the truth of life and the other thing, yet we still blunder into the future heedless and regardless. Great observation and ability to express it.

Did you get me email last week?     

Great song well performed Mojo. I think a bridge and chorus would add immensely to this wistful melodic song.     

I'm sure it'll be kick ass     

Great Post Pedr. I knew you were well read but Plato?     

Pedr, you're as deep as the Marianas trench my friend. You prove that with every new post. You prove it by taking everyday things and slotting them together in a humorous and logical way! Brilliant and topical as usual.     

It's aDell Optiplex with Win 11 Pro. 16 gigs ram, 500 or so memory. My old PC was Win10 . I kept the 1 terabyte external drive which has all my pics and songs. I know it's a referb but it looks brand new and faster than a rat up a drain pipe! Also a lot cheaper than a new one. I did lose Ableton DAW and another one which was too complicated for me anyway. So I've down loaded Audacity which still needs a bit of tweeking from me, any help would be gratefully received.  Thanks again. Phill     

You can certainly write a protest song Jan. The only line I disagree with is the one about the media down playing whatever the politicians or the radicals are getting up to, at least in the uk! The media here blow everything up and ended many a political or show biz career. I've said it before but again, you have a lovely voice, and your uke playing and timing is spot on, love the riff.     

Thanks once again Doug, your input is always welcome and mostly helpful,,, truth be told I'm a plug and play type of silver surfer so though I love tech I'm more confused by it than comfortable. When the time comes I will pull up your post again and go step by step. Thank you my friend.

Riverdalesd, good to hear from you. I've pretty much given up on minis, you've consolidated my thoughts on that. I've seen a lot of Dell rebuilds on Amazon, the ones I've read up on have SSD and HDD built in along with a DVDdrive, all I want it for is day to day stuff like storing my writings and photos plus emails and stuff, all very basic as you can tell. I'm not a gamer apart from Freecell,.

Richard, I'm kinda working on a budget so having all I want built in so I don't have to pay out on periforals is key. The family came to visit Perth a few years ago when the temp was over 40° C, the beach was very welcome and the bottle shops...lol
