It's a tool to debug computer programmes, and it's naturally called a debooggah.

Funnily enough, I considered that, but decided it didn't make sense!
It does now you've explained it's a programme, though!
I must admit, it's the expletive I use the most. (Except in polite company, natch!)(I just lurve spiders!)

Pure coincidence. I can assure you that having a dog the same colour as the carpet is a dreadful trip hazard.
Indeed. When I was a child, there was a dog that used to come to stay with our family whenever his own humans were on holiday, who was a perfect match for the hearthrug in a room where he used to like to lie in front of the fire. He was forever getting tripped over, and then for days after he'd gone, my dad would keep apologising to the hearthrug.
However, having the dog match the carpet does make the shed hair a lot less noticeable, which I think was my friend's reasoning.
Yes.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Having a completely black dog in winter is entertaining, calling her in last night, only to find that she was right behind me. She's blacker than a black night, though possibly not the blackest black.;)0

All is explained :rotfl:
Just remembered that when we moved in here, the hall, stairs and landing carpet had a very busy pattern (think 1970s swirly leaves). At one point a half-grown stray tabby kitten moved himself in with us and when I went to the bathroom he would follow me up and lie on the landing carpet waiting for me. The first time he did it, I came out and tripped over him. He was beautifully camouflaged against the dark swirly leaves!

In a pub where I used to drink, there was a local chap everybody called "Black Cat". The reason was because anything anybody had got/done he'd got a better one/done it better. "If you had a black cat his cat'd be blacker" they used to say. Black Cat John 0

I just read this article about finding a submarine that'd sunk 100 years ago in WW1. It had just disappeared, nobody ever knew what happened to it. And you think of all those people left behind that never knew what happened to their son/brother/husband/father/neighbour/friend .... but in this case one of them had a daughter, who is still alive!! She's 104 and living in the US.

Well I'm happy as my latest track is being released this week, with me on vocals - dance track - I'm far too old for this eh, but the kids don't release a middle aged middle class bloke makes this stuff, lol.
Kind of a nice sense of achievement - I think I'd get a bit bored if I did not have my studio to fiddle about in - we all need a sense of purpose I guess...0 -
Music is so "old school" - bands have to release wine now!...
