I am also in the large button, small flush gang. I assume it's that way so the flush you use most frequently is bigger, but it does seem counterintuitive.

I used to have a cherry tree in my garden. I was sitting in the branches picking cherries, when I saw a blackbird (not an SR-71) sitting on the outer twigs eating cherries I couldn’t reach. He had a look in his eye that said “these are my cherries and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

Then a sparrowhawk took him out in front of me and ate him. That’ll teach him.

But in rhyming slang, you use the non-rhyming word (e.g. "china" = "china plate" = "mate")

This is similar to an old joke about former British Prime Minister John Major. His father had been a circus performer, so it was aid that "he'd run away from the circus to become an accountant".

NT (3.x & 4.0) and 2000 were also available as Workstation editions. They were concurrent with Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and ME (which did get missed on the above)

Thanks. I don't know a great deal about Girl Guiding's programme in the UK, but I understand that there's a similar distinction between it and the Scout Association's programme as there is in the US.

In the UK, The Scout Association went fully co-ed in 2007 and Girl Guiding remains a girls-only organisation. Both are doing just fine.

In the new interface, clicking the post title opens the subject of the post (e.g. the linked site or image), whereas the old interface takes you to the post. The only way of accessing the post itself is via the comments link, which is quite small on mobile.
