OT - What are you doing right now?

I honestly thought KC would win.  Not picking any team, but intended to bet the over (56.5) til late Saturday night when I must have had an aneurysm or the right cocktail.  Went with the "under".  
Glad to see Brady win.  I had read earlier in the week that he had never scored a TD in the first quarter of his nine prior SB's. Obviously, that changed last night.  
Being a hard-core Raiders fan (even with all the moves over the years) I am totally against any other AFC West team.  That sweetened the a$$ kicking!

Got an hour meter for the pressure washer.  Made a bracket for it, did some of the wiring.

What did y’all think of the Super Bowl last night? I was glad to see Tampa win it l, but I honestly did not think they had a chance. It was a welcomed surprise for me. 

the media seems to always make brady the underdog as silly as that may seem

Paid the deposit for my daughter's spot at school next year, and shaking my head at the tuition jump from middle school to upper school.

With weak hand and half decent light cutting board (don't want to haul out the heavy ones) and serrated knife, I find slicing through the bottom crust challenging at times, until this...

Thanks @ColtsFan He hates to be left out.

I am reaching out to the community for some IT help.  I don't want to start another OT thread, but if anyone has dev' experience with PowerBi and SharePoint lists I'd be keen to converse.
I need a workaround for the 5000 threshold and have heard that you can archive in the SharePoint workspace but sustain the PBi workflows to read the content.

I thought you were retired?  Is this what you Brits do for fun in retirement?

Yes & No.   
We don't do fun,  you do know what both cricket and rain are - right?

Downers?  

But we have found new ways to occupy ourself,  visit that there Ewe Chube and type in; Handforth parish council 
Some language is less temperate than one would anticipate, so volume moderation is advised. 

I am assuming @Stormbringer and @eoin are across this already. 

That was hilarious.

As for the 5K limit, this can be avoided by using column indices and views, then query the view. Or get your friendly SP farm admin to change the threshold ... and watch users scream as the SQL Server starts doing table level locking (instead of row level) and entire applications freeze. Fun times.

It's an everyday scene over here, you know. 

You should see the mayhem if the teapot is not warmed!

Do you add tea leaves (or, blasphemy, bags) when teapot is empty, half empty or full of hot wa'er? 

Warm pot,  leaves, very hot water (just off the boil), steep for five minutes under the cosy.

But I prefer PG Tips in their pyramid bag.   Yep, bags - sue me.

Lol!  Ewe Chube.  I have seen you post this many times and honestly thought someone had a thing for sheep 🤣.  It makes much more sense now in the context of your post.  You mean YouTube.

That council meeting was hilarious, and I expected it to end with a home invasion caught on Zoom.

I got "Ewe Chube" from the pay off line for a joke about adult internet entertainment in Wales/New Zealand - any sheep dominated rural community.

Should have just asked you but somehow suspected you would know about 'farms' and SQL.   I exceeded personal expectations by using The Google to discover that 'farms' was even a thing.  
You see, I am the 'advanced user' - everyone else uses notebooks (as in paper A4 notebooks) while occasionally flirting with Excel because it's new and fancy.

From my wider source network I have determine that SharePoint is a bit of a git to work with.   I have proposed a re-imagining of the entire system, which has marked me out as a 'strategic thinker'.  I now leave pauses in conversation to reiterate that unfounded notion.  You wait until I wear glasses, they'll think Descartes is moving amongst them.

Twinings strong. Is that a tautology or oxy-moron? Can never remember which. 

Did you know that coffee has no flavour, only smell?

That's weird, i like the smell of it, but can't stand the taste.

So coffee-flavored ice cream just... smells like coffee?

If I keep reusing my tea bags, but adding 2-3 to keep it strong, eventually I will have no room for my 10 cups of water.

Let’s not get all spun up on the coffee musings of the British Cliff Claven.

However, in fairness, I have been there, I have had the ubiquitous instant Nescafé and he may be right in this narrow window of experience.
