"It's an old soldiers' song," he said.
"Really, sarge? But it's about angels."
Yes, thought Vimes, and it's amazing what bits those angels cause to rise up as the song progresses. It's a real soldiers' song: sentimental, with dirty bits.

One surefire way for me to block you is if you are sharing articles with AI generated tripe in them. Especially images.

One thing I noticed is how much faster the lappy seemed to run after the change.
Now to work out what I need to do in regards to making the various softwares we use compatible. Though I must admit I was surprised by the integrated software downloader, have to say that's pretty nifty.
