Harry Anderson, ‘Night Court’ Actor Who Bottled Magic On Screen and Off, Dies at 65

I loved Night Court and it featured many actors who went onto become household names.

I liked that show too.

Good downstream speed, but poor upstream.

As soon as you want to play music you are into smartphone territory.

My old Samsung 2G Flip Phone is about to be turned off this month and I will miss it. I have another phone, Smart, ready to go. I like the old phone as I have dropped it probably 100 times including a number of times off my bike. It just dis-assembles itself and I put together again and off we go. The "new" phone with the fancy screen etc will probably be destroyed by me in a few days.

I can use the Smart phones easily enough but for basic communication, usually when walking the dog or riding my bike, the old one was great.

Very FLUID financial returns though, i believe.....

SA Water just dropped off 11 litres of water in a cask. Hopefully back on at 11pm. Thank goodness I had a shower about an hour earlier as I was covered in tiling cement. Quite literally.

No when I want to listen I just-

I really only need a phone when working.

When your airline (QR) doesn't mind fitting out their planes with 1" thick, solid granite benches (and of course is generous with the Champagne).

Can you refill the cask?

With wine maybe

I made an interesting observation at Aldi yesterday, the cash register tells them how much change is due.

Previously the operator had to manually calculate it. I wonder if the younger generation were simply unable to cope with mental arithmetic?

Some days I struggle with simple arithmetic but change the I can still manage.

When I use to work with hundreds of weekly time sheets and hours, I was much quicker in counting.

Had some left over emergency dinner provisions from our B&B stay. .. Stopped mid drive today to enjoy, we're all class.





Also had unopened soy milk and a almost full box of laundry tabs that the B&B owner was very happy to take.

Probably more to do with efficiency, as Aldi's whole model is based on it.

Meh. As they are sure to stuff up the subsequent emergency exiting, and block the way, its better that they take a little oxygen-deprived nap until most of us are off the plane. Then they are welcome to follow.
