I’ve just upgraded Win11 on an incompatible Dell by mounting the 11 ISO and adapting it slightly with some simple short text in Command Prompt.

My wife Rita had a sh1t 2024 with cancer treatment, now well on the way to recovery. Asked her if she'd like a nice holiday, she didn't want anything special but she wanted to rent a place big enough for all the children/grandchildren. #cancer #bedgelert #Wales #cymru #lumix #family

Looks great, I believe the genuine Cornish pasty should have shortcrust pastry though. The likes of Ginsters use puff pastry as it's more resilient in transit.

You either have a poor grasp of 19/20th century history or this is a rather offensive attempt at humour. Either way I've reported your comment. Looking at your page it appears I'm not alone. Tick ... tock.

I actually told him I was worried about his health as treated wood can contain carcinogenic chemicals. I left him my little trailer and told him to fill it up and we’d take it to the local council dump. He was very pleased and admitted he was worried about smoke troubling neighbours. To top it off …

Be Nice! It’s difficult as you get older. My neighbour was breaking up a ild shed and burning bits of it in Junes 25-30c heat. Not good, usually I’d have a moan at him and point out some local bylaws. Look at next comment to see what I did.
