Fire tusen fem hundre og tretten = 4513:cool:

Fire tusen = 4 000

og = and
tretten = 13

[deepsand]

τέσσερις χιλιάες πεντακόσια δεκατέσσερα

Greek

4000 - τέσσερις χιλιάες

500 - πεντακόσια

14 - δεκατέσσερα

Interesting that "thousands" requires two words, while "hundreds" needs but one.

I Told my son once that I could count to ten in 100 languages - He said I could not.

I said OK

Dog; "Woof, woof, Woof, woof, Woof, woof, Woof, woof, Woof, woof. . ."
Cat ; "Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow,"

I could probably count to 4516 in Horse; raise and stamp hoof once, raise and stamp again, raise and stamp again, raise and stamp again, raise and stamp again, . . . No Bugger it . ,. Horse is a very hard language.

"Count to ten in duck dad! "

David once worked as a barman in a pub I frequented during the same period while I was living in London. I do recall the barmen but I was never able to pinpoint in my mind which one David was.

I do remember there was one very 'hip' guy. The sort you would expect get a lift to work each evening by some hot chick on a Vespa.http://www.vespaland.com/blog/uploaded_images/Vespa_Calendar_1970-777888.jpg

I was a bit more 'Hippy' my hair was longer than the Beatles, My girl wore a short red mini skirt with knee length black leather boots and fish net stockings with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth and we used the bus service. . I guess Me and David were not destined to make a friendship until 30 years later.

London was a fun town back then . . I expect it still is.

[deepsand]

4524

Most likely the maid is female.

[Uncle Dog]

4525

4522

Maid? :shock:

Yes, maid. Can't depend on them, can't live without them. Sob!

[mjtaylor]

4527




Yes, maid. Can't depend on them, can't live without them. Sob!

I can't clean my house without one. Only it's not PC to call them maids anymore. They're cleaners if they come weekly, housekeepers if they come more often.





London was a fun town back then . . I expect it still is.

When was that? What pub? I lived there from 1978-83.

[edhan]

4528

That's life !!!

[deepsand]

... hot chick on a Vespa.http://www.vespaland.com/blog/uploaded_images/Vespa_Calendar_1970-777888.jpg
That's a trip down memory lane. :cool:

[mjtaylor]

4530

Or down any lane in Key West. There are scooters with hot chicks all over the place.

[deepsand]

4531

But, are they '60s Vespas?

[Tubby]

Yes, Once the marketers understood that the girly girls did not like greasy chains, hot exhaust pipes, noisy machines. Cottoned on to the fact that girls liked to arrive at the venue without holes in their stockings or grease up to to the garters: Yet loved the freedom a bike gave, and the 'Mods' realised they could get the girly girls on to the back of these machines. . It was almost ' freedom' innovation , that coincided with the accepted use of 'the pill'. . .

Me and you were there Deepsand. We had it all - The sexual revolution, Old fellows like me still carry a residual smile that is testament to the 60's. .

[mjtaylor]

4532 or 4533 ... I still don't know what the rules are when someone forgets to count.

I thought the hot chick was more important than the Vespa ... sheesh! Just when you think you understand men you're reminded about cars and motorcycles.

@Tubby: you missed my question above.

[deepsand]

4534


Me and you were there Deepsand. We had it all - The sexual revolution, Old fellows like me still carry a residual smile that is testament to the 60's. .
I'd like to think that we still have it all; but, some of it's now but memories. :(

[deepsand]

Hot chicks exist across all time. Great wheels, though, are period treasures.

[Tubby]

memory a bit failed her MJ

"When was that? What pub? I lived there from 1978-83."

My recollection was the pub was shepherds Bush area. early seventies, It was one of those memories that gets Jogged (maybe 'Acton') You know the sort - someone says "The Red Lion on the High st" - and all of a sudden the memory is there.

I delete read emails daily MJ, I get to many of them I should relay store them somewhere, some people file old emails and can simply do a search. .

If the early threads on the old DavidCastle.org forum are still intact (new name now SEOsomething) there was several references to Davids Barman in London days. He might have mentioned a Sunbeam Talbot - but again that could have been a similar car.

My memory lacks specificity - The chances were I was not sure I knew what year it was at the time.

P.S. It might have been the same year that Southampton made it to the first division.

[mjtaylor]

4536 or 4537

Thanks, Tubby. Just wondered if we were all there together.

And could someone clear me up on the rule if a post isn't counted.


4535

Yes, and they run just as well.

[Tubby]

4538
MJ asked " And could someone clear me up on the rule if a post isn't counted."
If I forget to count - The next person says (to themselves) " Oh dear tubby is in a dream world again" Then brings up the post count to an accurate representation.

P.S.
I had long blonde hair - brilliant blue eyes - six pack - quick wit - and a 250cc Arial leader. ( I did o.k. )

[Dubbya]

4536 or 4537

Thanks, Tubby. Just wondered if we were all there together.

And could someone clear me up on the rule if a post isn't counted.

MJ, as per David's instructions, if a post isn't counted, or someone miscounts, the following poster should definitely make a correction. We've been doing that all along.

In addition, we are allowed to make multiple posts, for example:

4539
4540
4541
4542
4543
4544
4546
4547
4548
4549

You get the idea...

[mjtaylor]

4550

4552

That's legal, eh? That David, he was a mad man.

http://www.classicmotorcycles.org.uk/bikemuseum/images/ariel/ariel_1961_leader_250cc.jpg

More power to you, my man, more power to you!

And we're allowed to count below the post, too. This is just wild! No limits!

4553
4554

Is this the correct count?

As the Moon is currently is a waxing crescent, it provides precious little light at the moment.

I carry Collyrium with me in my brief case; however, provides but short term relief for persistent light irritation owing to lack of sleep. :(

[mjtaylor]

4576

I can relate to lack of sleep; my next door neighbor's grandchild arrived in the middle of the night. "I slept in the car," he said loudly enough that I could hear it. That was at 2 am. At 4 am my beloved dog wanted to go out.

Oops ... this isn't the grumbling thread.

Remember to discard eye drop after 1 month as it might cause infection. Eye drop will help to ease the irritation.

__________________

Yes. Same here as it is very addictive to play lottery. When the prize money is 10 millions, the queue is worst than queuing to buy football tickets.

[deepsand]

4628

Likewise here when the multi-State Power Ball goes without a winner for an extended period of time, so that the 1st place prize accumulates into the 10s of millions of dollars.

As the prize increases too many forget that the odds of winning also decrease. :(

__________________

[edhan]

4631

Yes, you are 100% correct! The money they collected from those who bought the tickets exceeded more than 10x or even 100x the prize money. No wonder casino or any of those gambling dens are making huge money.

I have heard a saying about casino: They are not afraid of you winning big money in casino but they are afraid if you DON'T come back and gamble.

As long as you keep coming back, the winner is the casino.

[deepsand]

4632

Which is why they comp high rollers, so as to both keep them there longer, and keep them coming back.

according to my incoming emails I win a lottery of some sort most days of the week. It is a shame really that I keep winning all of them when the rest of the world desperately seems to needs the money.

I would really love to win a Roast Chicken . . And have free delivery included. I would love to hear a knock on my front door . . . "MR Tubby! - You have just won a free roast chicken"

Money tastes like SH%T . . .


P.S. I hope I do not win a chicken this week - the road is still unusable. . . . Unless they drop it in using the chopper?

Pretty good shape except for my lower legs.

Before my dog died, he and I spent many hours in the evenings on walks of several miles each. And, once I'd the time for bicycling about 15 mi. to do grocery shopping. It's been about 8 years now since any of that, so my lower legs are sorely wanting for muscle tone owing to lack of sufficient exercise.

On the plus side, at 135-140 lb., I've not a lot of weight to move around.

The worst part was the awkwardness of trying to hold onto the various items that I could not leave behind in the car, so that I had to frequently stop, let my fingers un-cramp, and switch loads from one side to the other for a while.

If only the car had run but 10 more minutes.

Well, any location has both advantages and disadvantages.

As for car failures, today's vehicles are a whole lot more reliable and long-lived than those of not too long ago. And, in my case, were I both skilled at using them, and prepared with some in the car, I could have roller-skated home!

It had been modified and not using the iframe. Still lots of work to be done. But at least now it looks much better and increase in traffic.

You know I signed up to test your code. Now I get a daily email from the company. But I wonder:


Their forum seem to be closed?
Will the software be updated, and how easy is it to get an update?
At least as far as I see, the ArticleMS platform is more like wordpress so it is free and easy to get.

Which site have you signed up?

I have no access to the AD forum either.

I doubt that AD will be updated.

ArticleMS seems to have support but since I am already using AD for some years, I rather explore some options to make it better. I have the source code for Article Friendly but the database structure is different. Read from the site link you have mentioned, AD seems to be better in many ways. Except the code is encrypted with ioncube. Sob!

I had to submit my email address to get the code to study your problem.

Had a busy day, just came back to check emails.
Any checks in the e-mail? :D

I'm not holding any hope for such within the foreseeable future. Too many in positions of economic and political power see only the perceived threats to their stations in life of such actions. :(

It has been a wet day...

[Dubbya]

4711 - A wet day usually results in fewer forest fires... that's a good thing, right?

[edhan]

4712

Yes. It is definitely better than fire.

[Dubbya]

4713 - See Edhan, it might be wet where you are but you're having a great day anyway!

[kgun]

And it is wonderful spring here.

It's beautiful here in Asheville, though it turned a bit cool and wet today.

Forgot that WPW threw away the Subsciptions, and that maybe someone was still here.

[edhan]

4718

Subscription? What's that?

[deepsand]

4719

Those were the lists of Discussions for which WPW are supposed to automatically send e-mails notifying you of new activity.

[edhan]

4720

I am still receiving notification of replies. Guess it should be still intact.

[deepsand]

4721

With the new version of vBulletin, existing Subscriptions, Friends/Contacts, Visitors Messages, Avatar/Picture data failed to be properly migrated.

When you post to a thread, a subscription is automatically created if you have your Profile so set. So, now that I've posted here, I am re-subscribed to this particular thread.

[edhan]

4722

Now I see what you mean. FYI, I have added you as friend contact. Cheers!

[Dubbya]

4723 - I was a little miffed to find I'd lost all my subscriptions... Oh well, it is what it is and I guess we'll all just have to start over.

[deepsand]

4724

Starting over at my age isn't as easy as it once was.

Much of the more interesting stuff happens on the dark side.

Ah... the Dark Side! My habitat of preference! Howdy, all!

Well, look who wandered in.

How the hell did you find your way through the new maze here to this particular corner?

[Doc]

4733

Trust me... it wasn't easy!

I sure hope they manage to recover some of the lost databases one of these days!

[deepsand]

4734

I doubt that they lost them, but, haven't yet figured out how to restore them without overlaying activity to-date under the new version.

Should have tested such data migration in an off-line environment, and resolved any problems, before committing to going live.

It is always good to have a offline test server, test the forum in a sub folder or on a completely new server. When erverything function on the new server, it is a simple job to change the DNS to point to the new server.

There may be a problem with a replication of the last posts on the old server, but that could be solved too.

Or, having ascertained that the test configuration is sound, take down the old version completely, with both advance notice of a planned maintenance shutdown and a temporary custom "Down for maintenance" 404, replace the old configuration with the known good new one, sans now stale test data, thus avoiding a

3739

Yes. It's Feng Shui. Must check on my Feng Shui for the day ...

[deepsand]

4740

You need to do that daily?

[edhan]

4741

Not daily. On occasion like signing contract, buying a new house, new office opening, etc. These are important days so need to check and be sure you get the best out of it.

Checking today since I will be signing contract of service.

[deepsand]

4742

In general, then, roughly how often do you do that?

[edhan]

4743

Depending on the circumstances. On an average, it is around 5 - 8 times a month.

[deepsand]

4744

Once or twice a week doesn't sound too bad, assuming that it doesn't take too much time.

[edhan]

4745

Time to read and check depends on what you want to know.

Example: Checking for a new house for Feng Shui usually takes a few days of preparation to get the readings and applying them. If signing contract, checking on the Bazi will take a while only.

[deepsand]

4746

How and from where do you get the readings necessary for employing Bazi?

Are you yourself practiced at Bazi?

[edhan]

4747

Bazi refers to one's personal birthdate - Day / Month / Year / Time of birth

When you know someone's Bazi then you will be able to calculate and apply Feng Shui. It is like opening a book with all the info you need to know and finding out.

[deepsand]

4748

It is my understanding that Chinese astrology is but one component of Feng Shui; and, that Bazi is a specific technique for practicing it.

BaZi and Feng Shui - Distant Cousins? (http://www.fengshuitimes.com/article/detail.asp?aid=283&cid=3)

[edhan]

4749

Yes. Bazi is specialized for knowing oneself to apply in Feng Shui. It applies to a person instead of the general surrounding that Feng Shui uses.

Or, having ascertained that the test configuration is sound, take down the old version completely, ...

I have 4 hosters. When one of my sites are fundamentally changed, I upload the new code to another hoster. When the code function there, I change the name servers at my registrar to point to my new server.

Regarding my forums that are constantly spammed, I have though of this solution. Keep identical code at two hosters. When a forum hacking has occured or many spam posts are posted, it can be faster to change the DNS server to the other host and delete the code at the first host, upload the code while you have a meal or a break. That can be faster than fixing the hack or deleting many posts.
