What would you call something that was nearly brown then?

Tan

Only women add extra words for colours. Men just use about ten
common
names, then add adjectives or use two colours.


Maybe in England, But here in Canada we have lots of different
colours.
sometimes we even use Hex numbers instead of names. :-)

Canadians are rather effeminate though.

I guess you haven't played much icehockey.

You mean the game where they dress up in protective gear, nothing
like
rugby?


What the Hell is rugby?

American football without the protective gear. Same odd shaped ball.



Whoosh.


You asked what rugby was. That can only mean one thing.


...er, two things; game or school.


I should have added a smiley to my What the hell is rugby thingy.

So you have never tried it but decided it is not good. Ties into your

Hello! Is this the Windows 10 newsgroup?
L could have sworn it was, But now I'M not sure...

Rene


Yes, it is.
Windows 10 really sucks, spies on you, makes you a dumb**** to use it.
So other topics are far more interesting.
What Linux distro are you using?
What distro will you soon be using?
I like SUSE.

Or, will you be sucking it with Microsoft?
I do have Windows 10, but I use it less and lesser.
I decide who has access to my computer.
It ain't strangers from Microsoft.
Maybe you know them, and like them watching you.
That's awesome.... but weird.



See my earlier post on that subject.
Mint 18.x is my latest copy pf Linux.

One such person, 32-year-old Richard Bull of London, died on
December 11 from an electric shock he received when his iPhone

It was an Ogden Nash reference... not really a sign I wanted to "gnash" my

As far as dentists, they are very good at math... they know calculus better

The number of colors is (effectively) infinite. Some people do confuse
colors with WORDS for colors. Why would they? Those things are very
