1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

And continuous remarks about XYZ software are tolerated ?

As long as it is in domain on venting out in polite language or just sharing the pains as a user of said software as opposed to programmer.
So, stating Android is giving me problem doing ABC is fine. How to write ABC code for an Android phone is perhaps better suited for another place.

Harry Styles - Music For a Sushi Restaurant[^]
A different SOTW this week.
It's actually a pop tune by a mainstream pop artist.
I'd heard his name, but didn't know his music, until a friend told me she listened to him and even went to two of his concerts in two weeks (one planned and one delayed by COVID).
Apparently, Harry Styles is all the rage right now and critics and fans really love him.
He was a member of another mainstream pop boy band I never heard, One Direction.
So I gave it a listen and it's actually pretty nice and upbeat music that gets stuck in your head.
Mainstream SOTW

Yeah, Nah. I got about a minute into this one.
<HalfSeriousRant>
Can't stand boy bands or when they split up and go solo. No talent and all so manufactured by record labels.
</HalfSeriousRant>
Sorry. But having said that I didn't mind Robbie Williams. 
Going to plug (unashamedly) some Aussie music again. This is a punk bank out of Melbourne that I've been listening to lately.
Amyl and The Sniffers - Guided By Angels - YouTube[^] (some strong language).
Kind of odd listening to punk where singer has a distinctive bogan[^] accent.

Spot on! You are up Monday.
I just liked it, the clue flowed well.

It started fine, but then it went downhill rapidly.
(As in Milton Jones' joke: "My grandfather: we covered his back in lard; after that he went downhill rapidly")

It just slid away from me.

I always thought of that as an American expression. Do you Brits use the same?

No, that is pure American. Sadly, too much of it is leaking into our language via social media and TV channels. If it was up to me ...

So whaddaya Brits say then?

"Fried egg": cooked from underneath only.
And then given to Herself or thrown in the bin: I don't like eggs - blame my father for that one.

"Fried eggs, please".
Everyone knows there is only one way to serve a fried egg: heat some oil or fat in a pan, break the egg(s) into the pan and leave until the white is solid and the yoke runny.

Over hard (broken yolks) -- I don't like the flavor of raw yolk.
The best way to serve a fried egg is as a McMuffin.
