Hmmm …
You wouldn’t believe the research I’ve done … !
Well, ok, maybe you would …
At any rate … ? A couple of friends at work, have been discreetly asking me if they Can … ahh … borrow some of the films I’ve got in my electronic collection.
Something I don’t mind doing, even though it’s dubious, legality wise.
But, BOY … ! You need to do some digging: finding out what machine plays what file. Honestly, one chap’s Xbox plays
one standard but
not others: another co-worker only has a DVD player, which plays DVDs … and a
third file format. JUST the third file format …
Boy, but you have to juggle balls!

There’s something else, as well.
One of my co-workers — let’s call him James, shall we? — is right handed. But was born, as I, a left-hander.
Turns out that, whilst at a private primary school, he was forced into becoming a right-hander.
James is nineteen.
And says this happened when he was about six. Around about 2002/2003, if my basic sums are right.
Personally? I was glad to hear he got taken out of that school by his dad: who’d been treated the same way by the same establishment. And ALSO glad to hear the place had been closed down.
Personally, I’ve met a few older left-handers who’ve had the same thing happen to them. I’d always though that sort of Victorian behaviour was long since dead: as it should be.
Finding out something like that went on as recently as 13 years ago? Left me bloody angry.
I call that child abuse.
