  1. The exchange rate is a killer though, as donations can only be made in $$$ (unless I missed something.)

     

    Also, it seems PayPal charges higher than standard exchange rates. Its hard to tell cos they don't publish their rates.

     

    Would it be better to add a few more currencies to PayPal - ie

  2. while I agree with you that this utility has an unusual and not especially intuitive interface

     

    What's unusual about it?

     

    and I'm sure you noticed that others here didn't seem to like it much, either

     

    What gave it away? It was Shamus turn to take out the trash.

     

    My field of practice before I retired was software human factors

     

    What's that?

  3. Ah so the plot thickens, it was a quote, after all. Nice find Cynthia!

     

    Apparently this condition has a name...

     

    Pseudocide is a neologism (or Americanism) for faking one's own death. The popular British slang expression "doing a Reggie Perrin" refers to pseudocide after a popular British comedy series.

     

    Pseudocides often consist of fake drownings, because it provides a plausible reason for the absence of a body. According to an urban legend, sometimes credited to an unnamed study, as many as a quarter of suicides from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in which no body was found could have been faked.

     

    Now why would Elvis fake his own death? And who had most to gain? :unsure:

    Dunno how you put up with it - Oz supposed to be the hottest place on the planet right now.

     

    Take care of yourself mate - you may be a cantankerous old bastich, but the place wouldn't be the same without ya.

    Perhaps you should meet her if you're looking for wife no 3 is it?

     

    More snow and the country grinds to a halt. What a place - least it stops people talking about the credit crunch or banks going under. And Ford & GM just put their prices up. Recession? What's that?

     

    You're right volvo - we're just not prepared for it.

     

    Think I'll walk to work - professor in a parlor house isn't much but it pays the bills... :thumbup:

    Talk about being the yin'yang of the weather. :teehee:

     

    At the gym the personal trainers were complaining that all their appointments had canceled. One female trainer from abroad said we Brits were a bunch of effeminate nancy boys still needing to be breast fed.

     

    Christ, it was like reading a blutach post.

     

    Driving into town I lost control turning left and carried straight on. Its amazing how fast people can move when they need to. All good fun...
