Recent absence....

[jj]

...was due to a moribund HDD, which took with it 10 years'-worth of notes and
images, much of which was irreplaceable : -((
I MAY be able to retrieve the data, but I'm not holding my breath.

That'll teach me to back-up stuff in future.
..... have I mentioned that I hate Bill Gates?

[Bad Samaritan]

I hope your pseudo-etymology notes were among those that got lost.

[jj]

I hate to disappoint, but those were safely tucked away in my noodle,
so you can look forward to many more opportunities to be waspishly
superior about other people's ignorance.

[Bad Samaritan]

Yes, but not any 'other people'.

[bunker]

Damn it !idontbelieveit! !idontbelieveit!!idontbelieveit!

Hope you'll get everything back.

Meanwhile, if you have not seen this clip, I am not sure it will make you relax but surely bring a few big smiles (specially at the end) to see Catherine Ringer outstaging the great Iggy Pop himself while singing I put a spell on you.
