Do I dare ask what happened during that incident?
OT: I cannot run your WinHeist program as it cannot write to its config file due to the program being in the ProgramFiles directory, which is secured on Windows 8. I would think putting the file in the AppData directory would be a better choice.
Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.

Only the NSA has a record of the incident. NSA being Nigel's Sister's Archive.
All I can say is it happened long ago in a place far away; A bordello in Boulogne involving bread, brandy, a bed, Brenda and of course the Cheese Wiz which I am loathe to mention.

I haven't updated it for Windows 8.1 yet just haven't had time with all that's been going on. I've got a long list of ToDo's and had an offer of someone helping me but he never got back with me.

I know what you mean. I love looking at night at the lights on the tree reflecting in all the shiny silver and golden ornaments.
My cat just drinks the water from the tree stand.

That's the plan. Tomorrow. Maybe.
Something usually gets missed regardless. Last year the Grinch sat atop a video cabinet all year.

We usually put up our big tree, along with a zillion lights and ornaments, a couple of weeks before Christmas. It then comes down on New Year's Day or the day after. We also have a porcelain Nativity and other decorations that go out. It's usually a day-long process to set everything up, and about half a day to put it away.
That didn't happen this year
Due to a number of family events and other issues this year, none of us really felt like going through the rigamarole . We have a small tree that usually goes up on our staircase landing. I put that tree up instead this year, with a about a dozen ornaments and one string of lights, on the 23rd. It came down and went back into storage on the 27th.

That was all done and dusted on the 27th!

Ours go up the 24th and come down on the 1st...

So you take them down for 23 days to clean them?

Down day after boxing day. Due to 2 of the ickles stripping the tree bare from 2ft and lower.
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

I had beard such hard that I could slit hippos throat with it. Having used hair products on it for past few days, it is now soft and silky. I feel beautiful.

How strange...
I had a nice soft moustache and now use wax to make it stiff!
Muzzle fuzz is an artform, and something to be proud of.

I could never shape the moustache the way I wanted. It was really tough to do so. I guess in few days, I would be privileged enough to try out this[^] one.

You only get Man Points for facial hair if it doubles up as carpentry equipment.
My facial adornment has never got me Man Points - perhaps I should dye it black and reshape it into an Evil Overlord Goatee?

Sorry, I am not sure what that means.

If you can use it to bore holes in wood, sand surfaces smooth, or rout "interesting" edges with it.
