You know when I read something like that the thing that immediately comes to mind is that it's a pity they both can't lose.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Wait, you mean a dating website for people to cheat on their spouses is doing something immoral?

Herself watches a variety of TV programmes that hold no interest for me. One of those is "ER", which she set up to record on Sky+ yonks ago, as it is on at 07:00 and she can watch it when she gets back from work.
Today, there are howls of rage, and sufferous swearing as she finds it hasn't been recorded, and isn't in the sky planner, and she can't find it anywhere to put it back...
Don't you love computers and the internet? 30 or 40 seconds to find it's now on at 05:00 on Atlantic (gawd knows why, or what else they show) and she's a happy bunny again...ah...and I get loadsa brownie points for doing nothing particularly difficult

In that category though, 200K does not even get you bronze status.
Windows 8 is the resurrected version of Microsoft Bob. The only thing missing is the Fisher-Price logo.

That should be either "5 PM" or "17:00" - "05:00" suggests AM.

Atlantic[^] is Sky's "We won't let Virgin carry this channel" channel. They tend to put anything they think might tempt people away from Branson on it. For example, Game of Thrones, The Borgias, Boardwalk Empire.

No, 05:00 is in the morning. The 24-hour notation uses 00-23 for the hours and 00-59 for minutes. It isn't hard and most people can pick it up after a few tries.

Precisely my point. ER is on at 17:00.

Different time zones, the UK is on GMT where as Wales Isn't It is on 1946.

Yep. It's on at 05:00, or 5AM

Really? According to http://tv.sky.com/tv-guide/[^], it's "The Devil's Dinner Party" at 05:00; ER is at 17:00.

90% of what Sky show is "atlantic", that is, cheap stuff sourced from the US that even their viewers got bored of. I don't have Sky and I don't have Virgin. Despite the phone calls we still get from them there's nothing that will tempt me to pay to use either.

Surely, "how" is obvious? The real question would be "why".

The portable cat-flap swung it as well? She obviously saw you as an apprentice millionaire. I suspect she's still waiting.

No, I installed the Portable Cat Flap about ten years ago.

Does she go through the cat flap or walk around it?

She moves it out of the way, obviously - that's why it's a portable cat flap!
The only access to our back garden is via a window (double glazed with evacuated glass panel) or a sliding glass door (also double glazed). So, to let the cat out you have to leave a door or window wide open, letting the cat in, but also the cold air, rain and snow. Not my idea of fun. But, if you fit a cat flap to a window or the sliding door then you lose the insulation, or can't slide the door.
So, I got a plank, fitted a cat flap to it, attacked it with a router to make it fit in the open gap of the sliding door - then fitted it with handles and door furniture so it could be locked in place. The cat can go in and out, as can we, but the weather can't. A couple of coats of Danish Oil and voila! The Portable Cat Flap is born.
There are a couple of others in the area now, to solve exactly the same problem.

After all this time I thought the portable cat flap was just a silliness on your part, but you actually made some? (slap my thights in astonishment)
What I thought you had "invented" was to take a cat flap out of the box and walk around with it. When you went outside with the cat you'd put the flap on the ground and the cat would obediently go "in" and "out" through it. At nighttime, to keep kitty "in", you'd lock it and kitty would sit outside looking through it wondering why it couldn't get "out".
That's one very spoilt kitty you have. That you have now described it and made some is worthy of a five.
