Hi Techies

Here in olde England, a cat is called a pussy.

As George Bernard Shaw once famously remarked, "Two nations divided by a
common language". Another example involves the US word eraser that we
call.....read on:

I am also reminded of a friend who was seconded to a major facility in
Illinois to work in the drawing office (remember them?) Finding himself in
need of correcting a mistake leant over to a lady colleague and innocently
asked: "Do you mind if I borrow your rubber?"

Noticing her glazed expression then added: "It's alright, I'll bring it back
when I've finished."

...and the pen, having writ, moves on.....

Happy Friday everyone
