Hi Terry,

Don't blame me;  it's the Unicode Consortium.
They seem intent of turning every CRYING POO WITH BERET
into a new rune.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input says how to enter
non-keyboard symbols.
http://graphemica.com/%F0%9F%90%A7 is a handy site to search Unicode.

Cheers, Ralph.

Yes, spammers.  Three new accounts created since then, all now deleted.
I've disabled it again;  will enquire with the site's admin.

Cheers, Ralph.

It was disabled, don't know why;  perhaps spammers?  I've enabled it and
the Login button now takes you to a page were there's a Register link.

Welcome, Hamish.

Cheers, Ralph.

[Dorset] Bournemouth Pub Meeting Tonight, Tuesday 2017-09-05.

2017-09-05 Thread Ralph Corderoy
Hi,

It's the pub meet tonight at The Broadway, 8pm-ish.  For those that
haven't been before look out for a flip of laptops, or stuffed Terry's
penguin.  

http://dorset.lug.org.uk/wiki/doku.php?id=members#terry_coles

We are often in the pub's "snug", a small room off the right end of the
bar.  That seems the favourite for the early birds to bag.  Or we might
be to the far left of the bar in the corner, near a mains socket, though
that can get a blast of stale smoke; revenge from the banished gaspers
when the door opens.  We like corners.

See you there.

Cheers, Ralph.
