Not a good day

Harsh. Condolences mate.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Ginge

They can't find anyone who'll volunteer to get close enough to tell you?

 

Sensible lot.

 

Real men don't eat... oh, it's you. Well, that explains that, then.

I tried to save a whale once, but I couldn't find a jar big enough to
pickle it in.

 

Do you program in Pascal as well?

 

I think you mean

Uses crt;

Begin
clrscr();
Writeln('**** off Grainger!');
if Grainger := 'Fucked Off' then
ShutDoor();
else
writeln('I told you to **** off!');
end;
end.

but I could be wrong.

Whilst we are here, does do (or anyone else) want
a big box of manuals and disks for Borland's Object Orientated
Pascal before I stick the lot on ebay?

 

No, I think you're more correct than I, but it has been a long long time
since I programmed in Pascal.

However, I made one mistake you didn't correct, but which I spotted after
I'd posted ...

The IF statement should use = rather :=, as the former is used for comparing
values, whereas the latter is used for assigning values.

Oh, you also corrected two mistakes that I didn't make ... neither the
ShutDoor() nor the 2nd writeln need semi-colons after them, because they are
not the end of the statement.

If you think about it, the entire statement could be written as a single
line, thus :

If Grainger='Fucked Off' then ShutDoor() else Writeln('I told you to ****
off!');

So while it is good practice to use the semi-colons it is not neccessary.

Hell no.
