iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Thanks to Facebook we still have a lot of friends in Oxfordshire, and we are returning to the village we left 12 years ago. Although both our buyers and our vendors have been bastards, so we are forced to spend 5 weeks in temporary accommodation between completion dates. £££££

Well, yes, but he wasn’t going to win. Antisemitism in North London is not going to work, Facebook or no Facebook.

We will be hiding in the cupboards, with our toasters.

No, really Dave, there isn’t. You’re spinning like a cyclotron here but it’s not helping your argument.

Cheaper loans, cheaper imported goods in supermarkets, especially wine… it would work for me.

What happened to Greece was that they were allowed in before their economy was ready. Their tax base was too low IIRC and their economy then couldn’t withstand a major crash because they couldn’t devalue.

Right. Try telling people the interest they pay on loans and mortgages would be cheaper. Like the French didn’t have an emotional attachment to the Franc, but € was good enough for them. My parents’ generation had an emotional attachment to the sixpence and the shilling, but we all got over it.

Why not ask the question: 'How should we address British people's obvious reluctance to join the Euro? Who is going to explain the benefits?' Because right now, nobody is doing that.

And this morning, HP support rang back and tentatively they have fixed it! 🙏🏻 🤞. Windows upgrade screwed up the drivers or something. Anyhoo. Thanks to Aycha for her patience and knowledge.

A Facebook memory from 2012: Overheard in poetry class tonight: "I've written this play where all the action takes place in a lift. It works on a number of different levels."

British public opinion moves relentlessly in favour of rejoining the EU. Brexit has failed Britain.

It's been a great day. First - a one hour ordeal at the dentist Then, IT support calls: 1. HP because our printer's gone feral. She told me to call 2. Virgin Media, to 'split the band'. which broke our central heating controller so 3. EPH to pair the gateway to the app Printer still doesn't work
