Funnily enough Yorkie, I met my OH on a blind date.   He came to Llandudno as a new Police Constable, when they were on night duty the policemen would go to Dunphy`s Bakery (where the Cottage Loaf is now) for a cuppa.   My brother in law was a baker there.  He asked my OH if he had made any friends, if not my wife has a younger sister would you like to meet her .  He said yes and we are still together now 49 years later.

Met mine when I was 16, he was 17 and we were both training at Bradford Tech. Married at 17 ( young marriages don't last ) and here we are 47 years later !!

Amazing.... 

Internet Explorer users have lower IQ says study

The study gave web surfers an IQ test, then plotted their scores against the browser they used.

IE surfers were found to have an average IQ lower than people using Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Users of Camino and Opera rated highest.

The report has sparked anger from IE supporters, who have threatened AptiQuant with legal action.

Researchers gave over 100,000 web surfers a free online IQ test. Scores were stored in a database along with each person's web browser data.

The results suggested that Internet Explorer surfers had an average IQ in the low eighties. Chrome, Firefox and Safari rated over 100, while minority browsers Opera and Camino had an "exceptionally higher" score of over 120.

AptiQuant stressed that using IE doesn't mean you have low intelligence. "What it really says is that if you have a low IQ then there are high chances that you use Internet Explorer," said AptiQuant CEO Leonard Howard.

The findings have been treated with scepticism by Professor David Spiegelhalter of Cambridge University's Statistical Laboratory: "They've got IE6 users with an IQ of around eighty. That's borderline deficient, marginally able to cope with the adult world.

"I believe these figures are implausibly low - and an insult to IE users."

However, Mr Howard said he didn't feel threatened by a lawsuit: "A win in a court would only give a stamp of approval and more credibility to our report."

I've used several different browsers, mainly out of habit IE, so consequently I'm too thick to undersand the report or be offended by it

Internet Explorer story was bogus

A story which suggested that users of Internet Explorer have a lower IQ that people who chose other browsers appears to have been an elaborate hoax.

A number of media organisations, including the BBC, reported on the research, put out by Canadian firm ApTiquant.

It later emerged that the company's website was only recently set up and staff images were copied from a legitimate business in Paris.

It is unclear who was behind the stunt.

Now I'm puzzled, I don't know if I'm thick for using IE or thick for accepting DaveR's link as true  L0L

[Yorkie]

As R Corbett Esq. would have said, " I know my place!"  - I'm just thick - but then again I can't be that thick as I also run Safari and Firefox!   

The NEW for 2011 Llandudno Firework Display brought to you at tremendous expense!
