Perennial bloopers

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

I think that they often get the work experience kid to do the crawler scripts.

I couldn't find an error in the Chinese spelling, Ray. Mind you my understanding of Chinese is somewhat restricted. :)

I got it, Ray. My clue was the last word in my line. I think my attempted joke about not knowing whether the Chinese word contained an error was a bit slanted.

Your slanted comments better not come under the eye of the Discrimination Commissioner... 🤭
