You can take the man out of Yorkshire, but you can't take Yorkshire out of the man, by gum.

I wonder why he didn't use porcelain for teeth? There was a rumour he used slaves' teeth but I don't believe it.

I know, dental implants are better than the real thing apart from the trauma of having them put in. Pity the prices have advanced as well as the technology.

I wish you could still get Campbell's Scotch Broth. :(

Facebook has given me a Top Fan badge for the open mic club's page. The strange thing is, I only posted there once, ages ago, and that was just to ask if anybody had seen my jumper.

I use packet soup in England but I don't really like it. It's just for when I can't be arsed to make a proper meal. It's not easy to get in Arkansas. Neither is blackcurrant jam.

Yes and they told me who was keeping it for me. But I'm crap at remembering names and fitting them to faces, so I've not been able to get it back yet.

That record "Where's Me Jumper" by the Sultans Of Ping is great. By some amazing coincidence somebody was talking about it on Facebook (not on the open mic page) during the same week that I'd lost mine, so I was able to tell them about the coincidence and astonish them. It's the only evidence I've got for the existence of the paranormal.

Sultans of Ping sounds like a 90s era gamer clan.

The word ping reminds me of an old computer term from the 90s.

You're 100% right.

Quote:
Ping time, or simply ping, is the main meassure of connection lag. Ping time is the network delay for a round trip between a player's client and the game server as measured with the ping utility or equivalent. Ping time is an average time measured in milliseconds (ms).

The name is a parody of a Dire Straits song "Sultans Of Swing," and said to date from a time when it was taboo to poke fun at Dire Straits. Here it is, though I should warn it doesn't sound very good through a titchy speaker:
