Sounds like you're pleased to hate her in a Cockney way, you old duellist you. (9)

I'm really hoping you don't mean MUSKETEER - because that has an "E", not an "A"...

Nope... think older still

Don't think I have the derivation 100% but:
Sounds like you're pleased to hate her in a Cockney way, you old duellist you.
you're pleased = glad
hate her in cockney way = ate'er
Sounds like glad ate'er = gladiator
gladiator = old duellist.

Correct, but you forgot the I as in "Glad I 'ate 'er"...
I'm always dodgy about these "sounds like" clues... anyone else have any opinions on it? Good clue? Bad clue?

I'd say excellent clue, well done.

When I updated to Win10 Anniversary edition my Toshiba S55t laptop (i7, 8GB with touchscreen) started flashing and flickering. It's really quite terrible at times.
I found the following link where 826 other people have reported the problem on various manufacturer's computers.
Maybe you'll want to report yours there too.

I've got a set of DOS floppies in the cupboard if you need them?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

You need to move house - you have been living in that one way too long. We are moving out of our Singapore apartment and the junk we have hoarded is just ridiculous and that is only after 6 years, and not a floppy anywhere to be seen.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

What was the last windows OS that cam eon floppies? 95 wasnt it? I remember having about 30 disks and having t put them in one at a time every ten minutes or so. God it took ages!
Mind you, I had to update the firmware because of an issue with a disk on a particular machine a few years back and had to do it via a floppy. Could I find one? Took hours of digging around!

Why are you calling "Save" icon a floppy?!?

I have an external 3.5" USB floppy drive I salvaged from a friend's dead laptop. No driver needed, and it works with new systems/OSes. 
5.25" floppies, however, would be a problem. Maybe if I fold them...

Windows 95, first edition. 27 floppies, I still have them. With the backups.

OMFG! Well, I was convinced of having Office 97 for at least 10 years before discovering it was actually Office95... A good product nonetheless.

Yeah? Says who, where and why?
I would be happy for linux to take over, Windows is getting to be a pain in the but.

I think I have the same issue started since AE, but then I had it before - this is on a Lenovo yoga pro thingy.
Now if only I could remember the cure. Something to do with Intel graphics chip/driver and power saving functions I think. Try turning all that off.
