My apologies Persey, our posts must have crossed!

The oldies are the best !! Mack the knife ,

Helo Barbra and Persey

Bing is a relatively new search engine and is made up of some older ones repackaged.

After the problems with my old system I'm a little wary of making too many changes to this one until I am more used to the various changes between the operating systems.

I hope that you are both well

Allan

I googled Bing and yep I can use it.

My grandson (9) sings lots of old songs - he was singing "That's why the lady is a Tramp" the other day. He is a good dancer as well - belongs to a dance group, he does the Kevin Bacon moves from Footloose.

The only Bing i know sang white christmas ;0))

I am convinced that the Rovers Return cannot possibly be profitable the amount of helping themselves and drinks on the house etc.

I don't know Bing - we have google (of course) and Dog Pile. But cannot you just pull up google on bing ie put google in and it should come up?

Now going to look for Bing - he is probably singing in a corner of the pub somewhere.

Persey xx

Hello to all

Persey, its just me hitting the wrong keys and being too vain to wear my glasses!

Sandie, I'm using Windows 7. Previously I was using Windows XP Professional but on the old machine I also had Google Tool Bar which had a spell checker on it. I removed the tool bar when the machine started playing up.

With my new system Bing is the search Engine installed by the shop and I haven't yet got around to reinstalling Google.

Carole I don't drink much beer but VB is up there as one of my favourites.

Barbra, its a good job that I don't run a pub, I'd drink the profits. When I was a lot younger, when people thought that the world was flat, I used to wait on at private parties, particularly over the festive season. The hint I was given was get the b*st*rds as drunk as possible as quickly as possible and they would then look after themselves. It worked every time and even though I was paid until about 2.00am I never did much work after 10.00pm

a widget in the can makes the beer more froffy !! so i am told .

Hello Sandie and everyone:-)

Sandie~~~~~~ VB, is Victoria Bitter, yes its an alcoholic beverage, LOL. Its beer, I'm sure Tony would be sitting by his pool having a nice cold one, unless he prefers Fosters or Crownies, LOL!!
My cousin while he was over from the UK, was drinking a strange beer, I think they were called John Brown? They had a widget in the can, which I thought was quite peculiar!

~~~~~~~ to all:-)

Hi everyone~~~

Lol Barb~~~
If you are still around, Sherry would be the last thing on my list:)) Vino for me,

.pouring down outside .of to bed now, Take care whatever you are doing today . Barbra x~~~~~~~All

You can come over and box my ears Allan. I wear hearing aids and they go into this special drying out storage container overnight. These are called my ears... I don't usually put them on/in until I have had a shower, I am dead scared I will get in the shower with them on. So whilst I can hear, I might miss bits of the conversation - I just say can't hear haven't got my ears on yet.

"we have only recentlt bought the new computer" = yes you definitely need some help - I type t with my left hand and y with the right. I can't use one of those ergonomic keyboards because the place that the division is is not in the correct place for us geriatric typists. LOL Allan

Persey xx

Barbra, OH and myself did not give each other presents this year as we have only recentlt bought the new computer and a new fridge freezer.

I got some wine from my daughter and her partner togther with some solar operated garden lights (2) in the shape of a frog.

My son got me a bottle of whisky and a book

Allan

Well Mr Allan you wont see it iff its dark !! I am saying nothing about the cricket OH has his radio on all night . now are you going to tell us what you got for Christmas ? I got new dressing gown & slippers . perfume . Les Dawson DVD & peter Kay , bunch of flowers . wait for it a new kettle :0))

A stroll along the seafront at Morecambe sounds romantic Barbra, particularly if you look across the bay to the ICI chemical plant :0))

The Brits are doing well in the cricket, the Ozzies not so well, and even worse for Ricky Ponting whos has been fined $6,000.00 dollars for arguing with the Umpires

Allan

Hi Sandie,

I can't see a spell check using the right hand mouse button!

How's the ankle today?

I've just read a news article about Australia's weather. It was headed "Flooded, Fried and Frozen"

Eastern States torrential rain, Perth 40C and snow on Mt Wellington in Hobart.

I shouldn't laugh but folks in Perth all rushed down to the Beach to keep cool but then couldn't swim as there was a shark alert. 3 big Tiger sharks just swimming up and down the favourite beaches only metres from the shore!

Who says sharks don't have a sense of humour

Allan
