WPLW reloaded

'Easy. You have quantum winners -  the one who posts last wins, but we don't know who that will be until they post last.    So, like Schrodinger's Cat, we are all both winners and losers at the same time.

Thinking about it, how can you have two supposed ‘winners’?

No need to invoke quantum superposition.  John M just changed the rules .   Instead of WPLW it became  WPCTTATS and there were two posts, one either side.

I'm sure I posted that exact time.    But sadly there is no evidence of doing so.

However, absence of proof does not mean proof of absence

 

So am I the winner

[Hamish]

I think it’s right to say we are all winners 😆

 

have you seen how many emojis are available now !🤩

Yes -  though personally I'm not too keen on the new variety.  Most are too complicated for the size normally displayed IMO so you can't really make out what they are supposed to be.   The older and simpler ones are still there though.  

Maybe the new ones work better on a phone than on a laptop.

No they’re even worse on a phone as they’re tiny

I'm afraid I'm old school Hamish and on a serious note for a moment and as I occasionally mention to my grandkids, there are around a million Chinese out there who are old school as well. 😏

Well only 'old school' as far back as Mao Tse-tung (or Zedong in modern woke spelling ), Ian.

I wish people would not change their profile photo.
You spend years getting used to a picture and work out in your mind what they look like in real life, and then they come along with a different photo and it feels like it's a different person posting.
Same as eventually seeing a radio personality appear on the TV and they look nothing like they sound on the Radio.

 

[john.r.davies]

You'll recognise me then, Charlie.

[RobH]

Sorry Charlie - I thought it was about time, as I've used the old picture  since the year dot.

Even all the faces on the emoji thingies have changed!

[RobH]

The old emoticons are still there if you scroll right to the bottom of the list

 

 

Edited as I originally put 'old ones' but Old One is a forum member so I thought better of it.

Thank you.

I wonder why the new ones are smaller.

🙂

Something to do with saving ink I suppose

Hello Suzanne,

Not that I'm aware of.

Maybe though, now that it's confirmed that us non TR register members can stay, it's time to do so.

Charlie.
