I hoped you picked it off the fence post and put it back in a barn, like where it should be and all that.

Pffffttt!

I took a long walk into town yesterday morning, detouring to take in a fanastic public green space along the river flood plain where I came across a grass snake on the path in front of me - it was a bigun too, about a metre long.

There are eight new ducklings in the pond over the road this morning.

Lovely to see them. :D

Incidentally the pond is known as the waver in the village, an old North Essex / Suffolk word.

Moving our company's main domain and website from one supplier to another.

Been doing a massive amount of webby work the last few weeks to optimise SEO stuff and generally improve the whole thing. Getting the site to load and run really fast has been interesting, and all the SEO work to get Google catalogs etc. right has been fascinating.

Also added a whole lot more site security, including a very tight Content Security Policy and lots of other stuff - there's a lot of PayPal & Worldpay interconnects to get right too and it's been an opportunity to do boring stuff like get the whole site's look & feel to be consistent and things like all the PayPal buttons to use the latest colours & graphics etc.

The main site was first created over 10 years ago and has not had a major overhaul like this since, so incrementally it loses consistency.

Drug taking as been enjoyed by the rich inpertuity .

The rest of either abstain or engage in criminal activity .

Given this dynamic I wouldn’t say people who engage in such activity are scrotes.

I've been doing a bit of that today, in a more minor way...I wouldn't say it's fascinating.
Had a real todo with filezilla...it wouldn't see any network drives....all my backups are on network drives...oh waily.
reloaded it 3 or 4 times with the same result....checked the web for similar reports and they were all historic, the usual barmy suggestions.

not sure when it was last updated, but it wasn't too long ago and the version was nearly current.
anyways...uninstalled and installed new from the zilla site.....and whaddyaknow.....sees all the network drives...

another 2 hours down to experience(of no value)

inpertuity .

I think the phrase you were looking for is "in perpetuity".

It can be used in legal documents so you should be aware of it. :lol:

A "scrote" is "an obnoxious or contemptible person" , so that term could well apply to any person regardless of their social position or financial standing.

As I see it Steve's use of the word was correct and applicable.
