I have never claimed to being computer savvy. But have learned "bits and pieces" ( apologies to the Dave Clark 5 ) throughout the last few years. Self-taught and help from colleagues and friends, most notably Hootsbuddie and ibbq4you2. Me and the latter two were once obsessed with the PIC Yahoo bored, er, board and posted all the time.
Hoots took a lot of heat for always being an unabashed proponent of the Company's directives. However, after many years of servitude, hoots left the PIC team and the company and the bored were never the same.
Ibbq4you2 was unceremoniously let go in May of 2001, because he was a district engineer and the Brass felt it could do without the maintenance team as well as the d.e.'s. The d.e.'s had beaucoup knowledge of the inner workings of the equipment. Skilled in replacing/repairing fryers and stoves; air conditioning; and adding freon to the coolers and walk-ins. In hindsight the decision was a complete disaster.
We began using companies like Quintuplet AAAAAAAA Repairs. Who for the most part didn't know shit. And we even sub-contracted a lot of the work to the old d.e's because they knew what the fuk they were doing.
Ibbq's story has a happy ending as he went into business for himself. And has tripled, er, quintupled his PIC salary which was peanuts. And hoots story is happy as well. No longer does he have to pick up trash on the floor before he pees.
Anyway I digress from the original story. Computer savvy I ain't. Excel, smexcel. But thanks to the hootster he has taught me how to link a story to the Pond. To which v.c. ltd. will be eternally grateful.
Thanks Hootster ( yes, I coined the name ) and may the force be with you. The synchronistic force, that is.
Farewell and adieu, v.c.
P.S. Let's give it a whirl, eh? Here is a sight which gives all the clues from a to z concerning the supposed death of Paul McCartney. I found the infamous butcher shop photo on this sight, which Hoots and Kitty saw yesterday on GPTV. It goes without saying: May the force be with you.
P.S.S. Cranberry sauce and in hoots case: blackberry jam sans seeds.

Lookin good!
There's a whole new world awaiting.
And yeah, I forgot about policing the loo every time I had a call of nature. Good-bye and good riddance to all that.
Ever notice the sure sign of seniors in the customer base: denture rinsings, found in the lavatory when teeth got flushed after eating?
Why didn't they think to splash a little water to rinse the sink? I suppose manners are only taught to kids, and they don't have to worry about false teeth protocols for decades yet to come.
