Conversation #10 – For whom Kenny tolls

In which Kenny explains his knew phone and we learn about whale hooves.

A Kenny by any other name says:

Hey boy!

Greg says:

What?…

Greg says:

And don’t call me boy

A Kenny by any other name says:

I’ve got a new phone

Greg says:

How delightful

A Kenny by any other name says:

Thought you’d be pleased

Greg says:

Ecstatic

A Kenny by any other name says:

Its got better ringtones than the last one

Greg says:

Better than a howling wolf. Be still my heart

A Kenny by any other name says:

Better than two howling wolves. And louder

Greg says:

Louder? Well I did say that was the problem with your old one

A Kenny by any other name says:

Me too.

Greg says:

And besides the sonic boom is its funk upgraded in any other respects

A Kenny by any other name says:

Well obviously loud is the main thing

Greg says:

Obviously

A Kenny by any other name says:

But apart from that not really

Greg says:

Keeps the money in circulation I guess

A Kenny by any other name says:

It looks newer

Greg says:

A depressingly significant point

A Kenny by any other name says:

There’s no point talking to you about this is there?

Greg says:

Dunno. Using messenger and mobile phones

Greg says:

To bore someone to death has got to be some kind of first

A Kenny by any other name says:

luddite

Greg says:

I’d say more hermit than luddite but have it your own way

A Kenny by any other name says:

Good. In that case you can appraise PCs .

A Kenny by any other name says:

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/116034/rb/21996404782

A Kenny by any other name says:

any thoughts?

Greg says:

hold onn

Greg says:

John is your man for this really. or for that matter Jack or Jim

Greg says:

That doesn't look to have any significant downsides though

A Kenny by any other name says:

no, looks ok to me. just need something that will run programmes less that ten years old and have sound.

Greg says:

Then yes. But ask someone who knows about the graphics card.

A Kenny by any other name says:

a what now?

Greg says:

64MB / 256MB VGA Onboard

Greg says:

Graphics Cards allow such wonderful things as games

A Kenny by any other name says:

I've heard of these.

Greg says:

If you ain't worried about games then a really cheap card is fine

Greg says:

but i don't know just how cheap that one is

A Kenny by any other name says:

well. you know me. as long as it runs the game, I probably wouldn't notice the picture qaulity.

Greg says:

nah. its about game speed but as I said I don't know squat about this more than its my video card that prevents me getting modern games

A Kenny by any other name says:

i see. well i'm still amazed I can run CivIII on mine.

Greg says:

I'm regarding it as something of a miracle every time mine stays on long enough for me to turn it off rather than crash at the moment

Greg says:

if I should go without warning it (probably) isn't something you should take personally

A Kenny by any other name says:

don't worry. I'll interpret it as best as I can.

Greg says:

What are you doing with your old phone?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Aha… not so cynical now eh?

Greg says:

Yeah, yeah. I just fancy the indestructibility of your one

A Kenny by any other name says:

Designed by lummoxes for lummoxes

Greg says:

Plus the spirit level factor. Ooh I’m coming over quite flushed.

A Kenny by any other name says:

Calm down – the thermometer’s rubbish

Greg says:

Thermometer! Does it have a spike for getting stones out of horses hooves?

A Kenny by any other name says:

Strangely no but it does have an all purpose spike

Greg says:

For getting rid of the horses themselves

A Kenny by any other name says:

Far more versatile

Greg says:

Plus works on other species

A Kenny by any other name says:

A bit small for elephants is my guess

Greg says:

That probably rules out hippos, rhinos, walruses and whales then

A Kenny by any other name says:

Do whales have significant problems with stones in their hooves?

Greg says:

I dunno.

A Kenny by any other name says:

Wikipedia has nothing

Greg says:

Hardly proof that they don’t though

A Kenny by any other name says:

Well what would you accept as proof?

Greg says:

Again I say - I dunno.

A Kenny by any other name says:

falsificationists – always with the problems never with the solutions

Greg says:

Google has 92,300 results for Whale Hoof Stone

A Kenny by any other name says:

What are the chances that none of them are about stones getting stuck in whale hooves?

Greg says:

Got to be pretty small

A Kenny by any other name says:

Tiny I'd say

Greg says:

Stranger things have happened

A Kenny by any other name says:

But not many

Greg says:

Very true

A Kenny by any other name says:

Pending further information let us assume the positive then

Greg says:

Very well. Gotta go I fear

A Kenny by any other name says:

Cheerio
