Quite late. Gave up bothering burning to DVD years ago.
Found that I'd burn, file...and then the huge folders of discs would sit on the shelf for years untouched.
Now I've got 8T of NAS space where stuff can sit untouched without me having to shuffle DVDs in and out.
I guess that's one step forward in dealing with my hoarding problem?

"Problem"?
I don't know what you're talking about...

Hi All,
It's been some time since I have been in a supermarket with my Mum, I forgot how to translate "Ah, can you get those thing in tube you like..." to an actual item... we were standing in the frozen food isle at the time, Can anyone guess the item????

Cannelloni?
Burritos?
Spring Rolls?
Beansprouts?
Spaghetti?
Penne?
Beef Wellington?
Ice Pops?
Garden Hoses?
Earthworms?
Cucumbers?
Am I warm?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I suppose that, relative to the rest of the items in the frozen aisle...yes?

The Frozen Isle was where the question was asked...not where the item was.

My mistake. It thought it was implied both were true.
|

|
|
Not even close, it was...Pringles Crisps...

Geeky Mom would've described it as that thing you make cantennas with.

I hadn't though of that...

I play this game with Herself several times a day: most of the time I can guess from context what word she has "lost" - but when I can't the conversation can get somewhat surreal...

My mother does that all the time, switching conversation topics with no indication whatsoever. Putting everything back into context becomes an art form. Siri or Cortana couldn't make sense of her if she tried.

Oh, right; the thing Dad used to smuggle that new tele-photo lens for his camera across the border...

I often think the can is the reason they are bought, they can hold many things, Nitting Needles, Rod stock, all manner of electronics (the metalised interior makes them unsuitable for batteries), use as a Wi-fi antenna, Cotton reels... the list goes on...

I have no words to describe how angry I am!!!

Was it THAT bad?

Nope, actually.

It was worse. Much worse. Words fail me.  
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Here you go :
I endure no stanzas to exemplify how choleric I am

"What do you call a girl who sets fire to her credit card statements?
Bernadette"
"My wife has just left me due to my love of horse racing.
She's at the gate... and she's off!"
"My doctor said to me 'Do you know your sperm count?'
I replied 'I didn't know that they were that clever!'"
"I'm seeing this girl who has eczema.
She has a cracking body!"
"So what if I can't spell Armageddon? It's not the end of the world!"
Sorry!

The best joke so far is that this "friend" of yours wants to become a comedian...
