Another pointless thread

John as I have said in many other threads I have no trouble at all with Win 8.1, either on my desk top without a touch screen or now on the new toy.

We are nearly €450 poorer this afternoon.
The lock on our back door broke last night, locking the dog out. His Nibs climbed over the locked side gate to rescue the dog at midnight, and called a locksmith out this morning. Major work involved in unlocking it since it was a multipoint lock. Anyway we have a new, non multipoint lock on it now, and a considerably lighter bank account.

Ouch! That is a lot of money for a lock repair out of the blue.

Is anyone else getting overwhelmed by recent spam from a Chinese media corporation, offering variants on photo-editing?

I am being flooded by invitations from "David" (Return-path: bommsha-at-mail.com) or from "Harry" (Return-path: xuegao-at-mail.com). There are several daily variants but in all cases the Reply-to is to an email address that ends with sina.com

Easy enough to kill with a filter, but it's just a nuisance to have to bother to set one up.

Not as harmful to the wallet as an expensive lock repair. Sorry to hear of your troubles, Gwyn; glad to know that the dog was rescued that night.

Hows the new lock Gwyn?

And has the dog recovered from the trauma?

As for spam email, it's all quiet here, a good filter is worth it's weight in stuff...

......trouble is it also catches stuff I need so I keep having to check the dustbin!!

I am deluged with 'em. And as soon as you set-up a filter, they send another from a different address.

The new lock works a treat, as it should for that price.

The dog is too stupid to suffer trauma from being locked out.
His Nibs on the other hand has complained about having to climb over the 1m 80 high gate to rescue the dog, and the severe damage to the bank account.

No spam here, unless it is going to my g-mail account, in which case I won't see it.
I have lots of e-mail addresses and use g-mail for things which might attract spam. Only thing it is good for.

It is more like autumn than spring here, cold wet and windy. Nasty weather all round. Very different to last years 20C!

It's a Dom Pérignon 55. It would be a pity to break it.

I finally have one. Best thing since sliced bread, can`t believe one of my work colleagues managed to grab one for me last night. Woohoo roll on the Easter hols.

This thread is getting more and more enigmatic and therefore fulfilling it's brief of pointlessness

But I want to get back to the wood pile

Oops silly me, forgot to mention it`s a Marmite chocolate Easter Egg. yum yum!

Wow! That sounds delish. Don't get such things here. We don't even get Cadbury's Creme eggs here unless I trek off to a specialist shop, in Utrecht, which may, or may not have them.

Eeuw. Just looked them up and see there is a pot noodle egg as well. Eeuw.

1 week to a new campervan Three full weeks left at work then I move onto a 2day week (Sounds like the 70's and powercuts)

I'll see you at sundown Harvard.
