@the-gravedigger saidWho was holding the white pieces?
We are currently looking after my daughters dog. A young sprocker who is cute and an absolute swine. She told me he is very intelligent but I have played him at chess and beaten him 3 times and only lost twice so he is not as bright as she thinks.
As an aside, walking dogs o'er hill and vale is great therapy, I think the world would be a better place if everyone had a dog to walk o'er hill and vale, that is if you have a hill and vale handy to walk them o'er. If Putin had had a dog to walk, he probably wouldn't have invaded the Ukraine.

@indonesia-phil saidThis very responsible. Probably offers some clue as to why computers end up with so many bad habits from an early age as well.
Dogs, who mentioned dogs...? I have two, Goldies, and I do swear at them sometimes although I do love them to bits and it doesn't seem to make any difference; they just look at me with those doggie eyes and I feel guilty. I know that you already know this, R R, but for the rest of the world, we now have 7, two week old puppies wobbling about the place trying to see thi ...[text shortened]... s not to corrupt their young and still forming sensibilities, and get them into bad habits so young.
@divegeester saidI can only assume you never watched the movie.
Some guys smashing up a printer…why is it a great scene?
That's usually why people make stupid comments.
I guess it also explains why you never quite grok what people are about.

@divegeester saidHave you never felt frustrated by a poorly designed machine? A broken machine is another matter, that’s due to failure to carry out routine maintenance mostly; get mad at the tech guys, not the machine. But a poorly designed machine has no reason to exist.

@relentless-red saidI don't remember ever swearing at a particular inanimate object.
We've probably all done it.
Yet still they misbehave.
Could this mean it doesn't work?
But, what would they get up to if we didn't do it?
However, I have apologized on a few occasions to inanimate objects, just in case they were in fact to some degree sentient.

@moonbus saidAre you vicariously explaining why Suzianne thinks that clip is a great scene?
