I used to have a cherry tree in my garden. I was sitting in the branches picking cherries, when I saw a blackbird (not an SR-71) sitting on the outer twigs eating cherries I couldn’t reach. He had a look in his eye that said “these are my cherries and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Then a sparrowhawk took him out in front of me and ate him. That’ll teach him.

I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it's that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.

I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:

  1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
  2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
  3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

You forgot Texas City

I hear you’re a racist now Father Elon.

In the UK, The Scout Association went fully co-ed in 2007 and Girl Guiding remains a girls-only organisation. Both are doing just fine.

NT (3.x & 4.0) and 2000 were also available as Workstation editions. They were concurrent with Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and ME (which did get missed on the above)

Thanks. I don't know a great deal about Girl Guiding's programme in the UK, but I understand that there's a similar distinction between it and the Scout Association's programme as there is in the US.
