Chumbles , in answer to your question from last night, what Crank said. HDMI cable from the dock to your TV, separately plug in the dock for power, then the Switch tablet slots into the dock to be played on the big screen. I tend to use a Pro Controller, but that's only because it's slightly more convenient to grab the controller and chuck it next to the console at the end than to detach and re-attach the JoyCons. I know that I probably have smaller hands than everyone else, but I have to say that I find playing with detached and separated JoyCons super comfortable, because you don't have to worry about repetitive strain injuries. Since I also have the Pro Controller I've never used the JoyCons in the grip. Also to add to Chumbles question - the included HDMI lead is 1m, just an ordinary HDMI - if you want the console near to you, rather than near the telly, you’ll want a longer cable, especially if your intending on swapping cartridges in and out. If you’re going to be digital only, then the pro-controller from across the room works - I haven’t taken my switch out of the dock in a year. |

I gave this update to a friend about my ops, and listening to the insane range of contradictory Tory policies "My repeated mentions of operations and cancellations probably make it difficult to realize that I have only had one operation - and that was for the strictures in my throat: the dilatation. The operation which theoretically may help the leg, urgent in late 2018 and for which the catalogue of f*d up and cancelled appointments is now over 15, is an ablation. That was finally scheduled for March 26th 2020, and we went into lockdown on 23rd March ... It's supposed to be "Number one on our priority list" ever since.
I recently found out that this list is for non-life threatening leg operations. And covid led to a shedload of lethal vascular complications - same surgeons AND every time our beef-brained government opens up the country with such an incomplete vaccination level it is going to ensure that my dilatation op. will become a very remote possibility. The District Nurse team are currently trying to get as many of their team to take leave now because they believe that they are going to have to cancel it all or defer it in the very near future. That's the clean version.
At the moment I anticipate the current treatment regime continuing ad infinitum.
Anyway, I keep as cheerful as I can, because whatever shit you have to live through, you may as well enjoy as much of it as you can!" The Seven Ages of Man 
I elided a lot of "cunts, bastards and fuckwits" out of that; I only wish that I could do the same with the Tory idiots who have just created the perfect environment for the development in new Covid-19 variants...

I thought 'elided' referred to speech, rather than the written form.
*prepares for major bollocking*

I see the government did get my memo about banning Scubar from returning.

I've had to open the windows - so my hay fever allergy has kicked in and my eyes are conveniently closing up so I have to start listening to stuff, rather than reading. A good excuse not to expose that illiterate fuckwit Tids that he's only read the narrow Wikipedia definition of "elision" regarding its use in linguistics. I was using the word in its more common guise that derives from the root "from Latin elidere "strike" out..." |

The PM and the child have gone to the in-laws. I'm off there on Fri lunchtime. Just ordered a Burger and Sciracha (what? you look up the spelling)fries to celebrate Faceless' 40th. Beer in the fridge and the new series of Bosch to watch. Boom!

Stuck in Ibiza. Just him and a 60 year old DJ who is unwilling to return to the UK in case HMRC and/or Yewtree catch up with him.
Half an E each per week. It's going to be a long summer.

Actually it was from the O.E.D., feel free to use the 'common' form if you like.
Git.

Has Scoobs had the double vax? I'd guess at just one vaccination. So he still has 50% of his own DNA left. Clever girl... |

No games.
