Damn good voice, even as he grew old. Rest in peace.

I know, another visionary gone. 2016 is really having some fun with us. Bowie, Prince, Cohen, Trump... D'Oh! | :doh:

I saw Leonard Cohen play the Royal Hospital Kilmainham back in about 2006, during much happier times, and his ability to transfix a crowd was amazing to watch. One of the finest concerts I have ever attended.

"non-hyphenated" is, itself, hyphenated.

It's called irony.

That's because no-one ever derscores anything, so you can't un-derscore it.

How is "abbreviation" abbreviated?

And why is "pronunciation" hard to spell AND hard to pronounce?

Ten minutes ago, I got an email to say that the goods I returned via courier yesterday had been received, and a refund credited to my paypal account.
So I log into paypal, and sure enough, it's there. Withdraw it to my current account.
Two minutes ago, I got an email from the bank that "A deposit more than the amount you set in your Alerts has been paid into your account."
So I log into the bank, and sure enough, the money is there, cleared and ready to spend.

When did banks start working properly? That little lot used to take days, if not a week! OMG | :OMG:

But for the last few weeks . . . drum roll . . . The US Postal Services sends me a daily set of images of all scanable mail to be delivered that day. And a link to click should it not show up. All this is . . . free! (rim-shot).
