I must be losing the plot here.  What was the point of this thread?

Sorry, I forgot the plot.

00110010 is the binary equivalent of the 8-bit ascii text code for 2, 10 is the binary equivalent of decimal 2. Sorry to be a pain in the a$$ 

A hex - i decimal, on you!!!! :laugh:

Possibly.  
Will be working on the truck in the front garage need to get something from the garage at the rear (yeah I have 2 garages separated by a 15 metre connecting driveway) walk down to the second garage get about halfway forget what it was that I needed go back to front garage to see what it was that I wanted go about 2 metres remember what it was turn around go back to the second garage and collect what I wanted.  :-[ Keeps me fit :laugh:

I figure that the fact that I walk twice as far as I need to means that I need the exercise  ::) ::)

I was working with a mate a while back and he was in the passenger side on gate opening duties. He opened one gate let the truck through then closed and locked the gate with him on the wrong side of it. Does that count???

might just be left handed, similar to old timers, but they just turn in circles a lot to get on the right side of things.

The first signs of old age are, the noises you make when;

you bend over, get up, sit down.

The older you get, the louder the noises get, if you fart when you bend over, get up or sit down, you are really really old ;D

that aint a good sign then!!

The misses is younger than me so shouldn't call this one "old-timers".
We had just returned from a weekend camping and the pots and pans needed a good clean.   No campfire at home so SHMBO went inside and boiled the kettle and carried the hot water out to the plastic camping sink on the back porch to do the dishes.
She forgot that in the kitchen we have a tap with all the hot water we could want!

I saw a Carl Baron DVD a few years back - something he said hit a chord with me.  You know you're getting old when you start walking around with your hands held behind your back (a la Prince Phillip).  You see a lot of old codgers doing just that - strolling around and taking in the sights with their hands behind their back.  I give myself a quick uppercut when I catch myself doing that...which seems to be often nowadays.
