Oldiesmann: Finally got the AmazonBot situation under control. I basically changed some server settings to tell AmazonBot that it's not allowed to access anything on the site. That should fix the speed issues we've been experiencing lately

A Foregone Conclusion

Which is, a decision made before the evidence for it is known. An inevitable conclusion.

Still used to day!

Good morning from a partly cloudy Interior!

On # 888 - The friends of our friends are our friends?

The way I knew it as was "The enemies of our enemies are our friends."

Hi Rammel
Get your dander up

Getting annoyed or agitated

He is said to have said 'it gets my dandruff up', shortened to dander.

Me too.   I'll add that as a sub of the first one, but no new number.

There are variations of so many of these.

Hi Ramnel
Lick and a promise

Something done quickly, sometimes used as a satin when having a quick wash

Still used today on the Island and in parts of the UK
