Rather annoying that my keyboard is set on (English: United Kingdom) and Bill Gates insists I'm writing organising wrong.

Go to your settings and turn off Murcan - see pic - that may help

I can't be the only one scrutinising that desktop looking for incriminating files/folders. 

If a man puts gravy on fish, then the possibilities are endless. :) 

 

It’s the first thing I did. The only thing remotely connected to gravy perversions is the link to ‘get help’, which would be good advice!

My local Spar had them the other day, 79p each. I bought one last time and it really wasn’t anything special.

I've been to the UK once in the last 6 months and I managed to get one 😂

Was somewhere weird though like an independent petrol station rather than a supermarket 

Not worth the fuss 

The shit thing about the lock down is my mom got me all the different digestive biscuit flavours but theyll ve out of date by the time she can finally travel here (or so she says...) was looking forward to the mince pie flavour

I've always been thinking -ise endings is British, and -ize endings is Americanese. Am I wrong in that?

Despite opinions to the contrary you are partly wrong. ...  Sorry :)

The zed spellings are older English and sometime in the 1800s Britain started changing to the ise spellings. The colonies followed suit, whereas the States retained the zeds ... or more laughably the zees. They were not influenced by the change in the Empirical spellings. 

Here in Canada we don't have the guts to go one way or the other.

My Concise and Short Oxford dictionaries default to the zeds.

My warmest congratulations and deepest condolences, Maq!

One stops? I cant say i have ever seen one to be honest. Definitely not near me anyway

Owned by Tesco. Its their more budget brand but wholly separate to any Tesco branding. If you ever park up at Perry Barr when visiting VP there is a relatively large one there.

Happy Birthday Mike. Fifty? Ha! Just imagine how I feel. 

(Actually, I feel OK).

Happy Birthday, I remember turning 50 like it was only last year. 

Not checked the pubes but think they're OK unlike the hair on my head.
