It was more finding the error/s that was the problem. I used to go running off to somebody who knew more about it all than me :))

Then all the cards were put in a box and had to be in exactly the right order. If you dropped the box, God help you. Then you took them to the computer lab (as you say, computer the size of a room) and left them there for a day or so. Then when you collected them, generally there was a long scroll of paper saying error error error and you had to go through all the cards to find the error, and then take them back to the lab again. Oh happy days. I've just remembered the name of the statistical test, it was the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test 😶 You can probably do it these days by pressing a button on a calculator on your mobile (once you've input the data) 😶

Not software, but I've found TSO Host cheap and reliable for hosting a website. No idea if it's a similar system for forums, though!

Over a very intensive weekend. Then I spent the next weekend learning CSS. It was very useful at the time 😶

This is getting boring, Trolley Snatcha.

Following the phone call from their rheumatology department, when I told them I'd already had the jab at St Thomas's, I've just now had a text from Kings, saying they are inviting "specified patients" to have the jab there, and to ignore the text if an appointment is already booked with my GP or another hospital. They then give an email address to which you have to respond with your details - which include your KCH hospital number (if known) but not your NHS number. This all seems like a terrible waste of admin resources. Surely there must be/should be a central database? No? I'm waiting for a call from my GP now ... 🙄

There's no stopping you now, KK 🤣

You're a real asset to this forum, aren't you? (That was sarcastic, BTW)

If you were classified as extremely vulnerable you would be on the shielding list and be getting letters accordingly. If you aren't sure, you should ask your GP, but this article gives a list of conditions, if you scroll down: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19/guidance-on-shielding-and-protecting-extremely-vulnerable-persons-from-covid-19 I don't think asthma counts unless it is very severe.

I've been very happy with Plusnet.

🙄🙄🙄 I don't do "important community work". My partner and I run music gigs (or did) and have organised music stages at some community events. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, BTW.

How annoying. Just been phoned from Kings rheumatology department to offer me the vaccine. Would have been much more convenient than St Thomas's 😭 You would have thought there would be a central database of who had had it, wouldn't you?

I have a horrible feeling that this will be "the new normal". Unless Labour get in and un-privatise (is that a word?) the service.

That use doesn't seem very common, does it? Considering you have to scroll right down past a load of other stuff to get to it. Crikey, perhaps I could earn some money and get my housework done at the same time :))

When I googled MUFC that wasn't the meaning that came up at all :)) :)) :)) But you make whatever assumptions you like about me, ken78, if it makes you feel better :)) I'm sure they are amusing my partner :)) ETA: But maybe have a look at the online Urban Dictionary :)) (lights blue touchpaper and stands back .....) ETA: BTW, ken 78, did it occur to you that my "old man" as you call it might be a WOMAN???
