[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Blonde

2004-10-30 Thread Tamara P. Duvall
Another not-so-fresh-but-funny one :)
From: R.P.
Dear Diary, 
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with those expensive 
double-pane energy efficient kind, but this week I got a call from the 
contractor, complaining his work had been completed a year ago and I 
had yet to pay for them.  

Boy oh boy, did we go around and around! Just because I'm a blonde does 
not mean I'm automatically stupid. So, I proceeded to tell him just 
what his fast-talking sales guy had told me last year - namely, that in 
one year, the windows would pay for themselves. 
 
There was silence on the other end of the line, so I just hung up. I 
have not heard anything back.

Guess I won that stupid argument!

Actually this does make sense.  Visually impaired people use computers with
settings adapted to help them - low screen resolution, white letters on
black backgrounds and so on.  Blind people use software that reads the
screen to them.  So having an option for them instead of copying letters is
good.  If 'click here' was a web link, then they could get to whatever the
alternative is, as the software has ways of following web links.

[lace-chat] :-) US Presidential Elections

2004-10-30 Thread Jean Nathan
The BBC radio and Tv listings magazine, Radio Times, did 2 polls of readers
to see who they thought should be president.

The first was "Which US TV character should be President?"
The winner was Homer Simpson (24%)
 followed by :
Josiah Bartlet (West Wing) (12%)
Dr Frasier Crane (Frasier) (11%)
Sgt Bilko (The Phil Silvers Show) (10%)
Gill Grissom (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation) (10%)
Jack Bauer (24) (10%)
Dr Cliff Huxtable (The Cosby Show) (8%)
Phoebe Buffay (Friends) (7%)
Tony Soprano ( The Sopranaos) (5%)
Roseanne Connor (Roseanne) (3%)
I know who they all are, but have only seen Frasier, The Phil Silvers Show
(many years ago) and The Cosby Show (also many years ago).

The second was "Which real-life candidate should be President?"
John Kerry (53%)
Ralph Nader (30%
George W Bush (17%)

How very true. My 10 year-old car, Volkswagen Polo, is playing up when I
first start it. It stinks of petrol, is lumpy, noisey and, unless you wait
till it settles down, lurches and won't pull if you put your foot on the
accelerator. This happens particularly the first time it's started on any
day.

I took it to the main dealer, because we're convinced that it's the
automatic choke that'splaying up. They kept it over two nights, started it
twice on the first day, and once on the second. Charged me GBP 120 and told
me there's nothing wrong with it. A couple of weeks later I took it to my
local friendly garage, who doesn't charge for an investigation if they can't
find anything wrong. They said the tickover is a bit fast, but acceptable,
and other than that - there's nothing wrong with it.

Of coursem I can't just take it into a garage and say "Look - this is what's
happening.", because I have to let it settle down before I can go anywhere.
So when they start it, it's OK.
