My first computer was a 486. They’d be worth a bomb now! it was before the days of Windows and Google. You had to do a programming course to understand it. It was kinda funny cause even when you typed in a command you had time to go and make yourself a cup of tea. … Continue reading Weird words

Don’t come the raw prawn with me
Today I wanted to be here 'in case the sh*t hits the fan'. Mum had a fall today and was taken away in an ambulance. She should be in a nursing home they'll say.
