@merrysask it always amazed me that when they got bored of whatever game was playing in Saskatoon the locals would go to Regina. Just down the road! (a mere 260km that is)

@merrysask I'm originally from there but been in England since getting my Engineering degree at TCD in 1979. 😕 My mum was born in Victoria BC

@merrysask I visited Saskatoon to do a software acceptance a few years back (Nov '16 IIRC). A tidy little city and some good 16oz steaks:-) We visited Dún Laoghaire (Ireland) for a similar reason a week later and had to order 16oz steaks there to compare. Both were excellent! 🙂

@jon I've just installed Brave (also based on Chromium) which strips out all the Microsoft and Google shenanigans and runs really quickly

@Alastair Now running VAX VMS too!

How can the BBC make any pretence at impartiality when their Chairman of Governors is a rabid Boris-loving Tory? A fish rots from the head. Taking Gary Lineker off air for personal and accurate comments about the government is unacceptable censorship. Very like the Nazis did.

Yes...

@Alastair well.... I now have a couple of (simh) PDP-11s running on DECnet (HECnet the worldwide hobbyist network). So, MASTODECnet becomes a possibility 😂

Oops! Our ringing this morning came all undone....

In Belgium we came upon a town named Wierde...

@freemo he drinks sherry over here. After a few tens of million sherries and mince pies he is 100000000% over the drink drive limit.

The lads of Rescue 117, the Waterford based Irish Coastguard SAR helicopter have been safety training to support Santa's delivery flight. They have just now tracked Santa crossing the Irish coast... Rudolphs nose is glowing brightly!
