The video is in French with French subtitles.
The subtitles that I saw initially were in auto-generated English, but reloading the page gave me auto-generated French. You can, of course, choose to have YouTube auto-translate to your choice of language from a long list.
I'd like to hear it Robert. Thanks
Me too, please and thank you.
I am now going to post a new, but somewhat related question. I hope anyone seeing this post will also check out the new one as well.
Ron’s new topic is here.
If I can only do this by putting it on each page separately, that would slow down my site.
If you had to put the code on each page separately (which, as Joe points out, the Master Page areas save you from having to do) it would only slow down your editing of the site. The published HTML code would be the same, so it will run just as fast whichever way you do it.
I believe I have told the tale of my exit interview with the Head Dude of Security when I left my then-employer. If I have not and anyone is curious I will tell a story I find amusing.
That sounds like a story well worth telling, Robert! If you find it amusing, you have no reason to think that it won’t also be amusing to at least some of your audience here.
Thanks Alfred. I heard it as tent so wasn't far off.
Maybe not far off the sound, but way off the meaning! I’m not sure that Paul’s wife would appreciate being described as a tent.
But even ten doesn't make sense to me. Probably a US expression!
Alaska 2011 - Thanks Paul. I wonder what the glaciers are like now?
I couldn't catch your very last word. Amy is a ??
I heard “She’s a ten!”
Apologies for the awkward wording. The meaning is that if Putin is allowed to keep currently occupied Ukranian territory, in time he will get the rest of it as well.
Gotcha now, thanks!
What is a 'young oldie(s)', I guess the definition depends on how old you are. To a 90 year old, it's probably around the 70 year old mark, but to a middle aged person, it's more likely to be around 60.
What is a ‘middle aged person’? To someone in their twenties or below, it’s probably around 40, but to someone in their forties it’s likely to be 50 or more!
There are eight lines of lyrics and two lines of music, both the same.
Actually, only the two lines of music are the same. The eight lines of lyrics therefore don’t quite match up. Instead of
C E G E | D F A F | E G B G | F A C A |I think it needs to be something like this:
C E G E D F A F
Let me sing to you of landscape
E G B G F
Where clear water flows
E G B G F A C A
In a quiet part of England
G B A B C’
Where asparagus grows
C’ C’ C’ B A G
Birds in the summer air
A B A G
Magpies and crows
G C’ C’ A C’ G E
In lovely rural England
D F E D C
Where asparagus growsShould Ukraine yield to him what he has currently occupied, in time the remainder of Ukraine will as well.
I’m afraid I can’t quite unravel that sentence, Robert. Is there a typo in there, or perhaps some words missing?
It’s pretty old now, but I think this Tom Lehrer song still resonates.
What’s your definition of ‘young oldies’, Eric? We’re probably almost all young oldies here!
I am not particularly musical, I just know a bit of the basics.
Can anyone here make a comment on the melody that Copilot produced please, and if and how it relates to the lyrics? Such as, does it work and is it repeated and how many times?
You don’t need any musical training, or even aptitude, to observe that the two lines
C E G E | D F A F | E G B G | F A C A |
C E G E | D F A F | E G B G | F A C A |
are exactly the same, so that should answer your ‘is it repeated and how many times?’ question.
What do you mean by ‘does it work’? You can play it at

to hear what it sounds like. The key marked with a red dot is middle C, the next white key to its right is D, and so on. Stick to the white notes and you shouldn’t go too far wrong!
Actually, in the WordPad file it is all spaced out, but that was lost when I copied and pasted into this forum.
Yet I will post it again, with added spacing.

You would probably see the same effect in Microsoft Word, Serif PagePlus, or Affinity Publisher. I suspect that WordPad, like its elder sibling Word, uses a paragraph style with a ‘space after’ setting that gives the appearance of blank lines. If you were to use a plain text editor such as Notepad, I think any text copied from there and then pasted to here would look more like the original.
I think that even just visually separating

Once again, William, more markup (italics, square brackets, or whatever) would make your original post easier to read.
13 things everyone should know about Pete Hegseth
Secretary of Defense is one of the most complex and consequential positions on earth. The person in that position is responsible for overseeing the world's largest bureaucracy, the Department of Defense, with over 2.6 million employees and a budget of over $840 billion. The Secretary of Defense is tasked with managing this massive institution to ensure the short-term and long-term security of the United States.
On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump nominated Pete Hegseth, the weekend co-host of Fox & Friends, to be the next Secretary of Defense.
I thought that when I did this before I could move the clone and it would paste into the pic when I right clicked.
What do you mean by ‘move the clone’? The idea is to make brush strokes as you would with the Paintbrush Tool, but instead of getting a solid colour (the current Foreground colour) you get a copy of the pixels under the source crosshair.
I’m not sure why you’re worried about moving the mouse, but you can right-click and choose ‘Copy’ to put a copy of the selected region on the Windows clipboard.
Alt-clicking defines the source origin (i.e. the starting point) but you need to make brush strokes to create the clone. If you want to stamp a copy of a particular area onto the destination image — which can be the original image or another (new or existing) one — you should make a selection with one or more of the Selection tools, copy that selected area, and then paste to the desired destination.
Can you get a night light effect on your computer?
I’m not sure.
The place to look is just to the left of the vertical centre of the picture, in the top third of the picture.
The vertical centre of the picture is halfway down; i.e. it’s below the top third of the picture. I think you must mean the (imaginary) vertical line marking the horizontal centre of the picture, halfway across.
The horse's legs are obscured by the 'pink blancmange'.
There are large amounts of 'pink blancmange'!
I have now added notes within square brackets.
Thanks, William, that’s very helpful.
