@Hildy, thank you for the ride along the Firth of Clyde. I really enjoyed our conversation. I’m glad you became part of my UK trip.

I’m having dinner in Glasgow at a restaurant named my maiden name. Very posh place.

Thank you for the kind words, @Expert Textpert.

I’ll trust you next time when you say “3 Gambier Terrace”, @Ron Nasty.

@AppleScruffJunior when you type your username in a document, what is at the top of the spell check options?

Yes because ‘AppleScruffJunior’ and ‘Opportunistically’ are quite a like in that they both have vowels ahdn_paul_01

If I @tt someone more than once in a post, do they receive multiple mention notices? 

I’ll test it on @AppleScruffJunior. @AppleScruffJunior, how many mentions did you just receive?

I’m not a good test subject– my mention name (beatlebug) is different from my display name. 

If you type @ don’t you get a drop-down list? And are we derailing this thread?

Maybe, but this thread has been impossible to derail so far :)

Annadog40 and Necko proved, for a few hours, that even the impossible-to-derail thread is able to be derailed. 

So @HongKongLady was right. 

Edit: I just got mentioned! ExpertTextpert, you now have mentionability. Apples to AD40. apple01apple01apple01

By the way is Forumpool like Liverpool, or is it the swimming pool at Beatles Bible House?

Maybe it should be Liverforum. We could discuss our livers.

Expert Textpert wondered aloud after reading my signature

Sorry, it’s a Beatles forum, and the only thing remotely Beatle-related to do with livers that I can think of is George’s being ill with hepatitis in 1976. 

Forumpool is like Liverpool. I coined that because we’re always calling ourselves Forumpudlians, so it seemed to make sense. 

The swimming pool at the Beatles Bible house is known round the forum as… 

the swimming pool at the Beatles Bible house.
