I thought you'd go so you could knock one out at the sight of the
gorgeous S1C I saw there on the Classic Bike display near Graham's
stand. Timo could go and get all germanic about the attention to detail
on the XL250 Motorsport there too

 

I'm hoping to pop along on Saturday. We need lids'n'jackets, so get
your sales hat on.

 

yeah, it's a bit much.

*reconsiders*

 

looks like the sort of thing I'm after.

 

exactly.

If it were under a tenner, I might go, but £18 is just simply taking
the piss.

got any spare?

 

darsy says...

Possibly, all depends if my friend actually bothers to come down this
way. Will let yo know.

 

i do. it also copes with greek, kanji, hiragana, and sumero-akkadian. it
just copes with them differently.

i'm sure i've already explained the problem before: usenet is broken by
design as it assumes that everything is 7-bit ascii and doesn't specify
a means of describing anything else.

 

But what's your purpose, or perceived advantage, in using something
that doesn't comply with that assumption?

he's a mac-mong; there's no point having a technical discussion with
him.

Odd. Antonye's post contains the correct symbol. Dog's quote from
antonye correctly contains the pound symbol. However, your quote of dog's
quote of antonye contains the spanish 'n' with a squigly bit.

So I put it to you sir: get a decent newsreader.

 

Not from 'ere it doesn't. n-tilda is what dog's post appeared as.

eh? i'm not the one sending non-ascii posts, the non-ascii stuff was
quoted from someone else.

 

heh

 

But it's your setup that's failed to quote it correctly. I wondered
why you'd have something that was set up in such a way that it would
fail to do so.

but it's not though.

From Google.groups, the first post with the dodgy character is
Champ's, and if I try to reply to dog's post, it works fine.

 

Pip says...

I have the tickets on my desk in front of me and I still speeled it
wrung

 

No, it's your setup, and Champ's setup up, that failing to read it
correctly.
