A client from Lithuania has just sent an offer request where he asks for Anti-Frog glass. This repeated typo absolutely made my day :smoke:

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

How do you know it's a typo? Lithuania has some mighty mean frogs.

I had a dream involving:

A diabolical criminal with giant mortars who wanted to end the world.
A dragon.
A queen who was always in her carriage moving because of said mortars.
A lion with spiky hair, and I kid you not, a chipmunk's tail.
Me playing the part of your friendly neighborhood vigilante.

My first thought after waking up was "If there was any justice in the world, I never would have woken up"

Well, now that you have them all written down, you have the elements for a kickass urban fantasy novel, so get going!!

Following on from my despairing post in Messing With Your Groove.

We've completed on the house. Everything is in order, we move in this week, with some spare days to get things sorted out so hopefully it will be a bit less hectic than is normal.

Now to crucify the solicitor!

Also,

Malazan Empire, meet Fiddler the tabby! Posted Image

We've been in touch with the local rescue centre for a while about him as he is FIV positive and the poor cat has been there months. It's about time the poor thing had a chance!

My sister found a large open-ended glass mystery tube in the back of a cabinet and it turns out it's one of these:

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Had to move house; which explains my prolonged absence from these august forums. Pain in the arse. It's all done bar the shouting now. So that's done.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

Lot's of useful advice there.

We looked at Mahindra and Kubota. I liked the Mahindra but the dealer told us that they didn't offer a front snow plow for the model I was looking at. That was a deal breaker for me. Now that I've had the Kubota a couple of weeks I'm glad they didn't. There are little things that show Kubota put a lot of thought into getting things just right.

Yeah, the one I was looking at was a Kubota 5200. Trying to decide if I want to spend the money or find a used one.
