How long have you been away? I've been changing it every few days; it's been a real rogue's gallery. (I've mislaid the Wildeblood's Empire book cover one, so can't revert to it until I find it. I blame Redspear for this.)

Methinks it's time to scrap the 'aerial' part of the license and make it that if you are watching or listening to any BBC output, you pay. Easily done for the iPlayer (again infinitely superior to the much better funded 'commercial' offerings)

Apparently dressing well improves the holistic ambiance of a brain struggling with esoteric things like coding.
That in turn improves the quality of the software products that it delivers.

Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!

I think you can probably blame the British government for that one, seeing as we pretty much set up Israel's original borders.

no, we returned it to them. God gave them the land Moses took them there and they were supposed to clear it out...... Exodus 3:8

I'm at a total loss if you're serious or joking on the "God gave" thing. Being from an atheist society, this would be a joke if said here; but as we are on an international board, I wonder.
