Excellent! Can we have them when they're finished - the wardens that is, not the parents!

It's only 20-odd items - not worth it - too many VHS machines by the look of it. And probably most of it is made up of fried returns.

Just remember everyone becomes a muppet on the school run. Quite sensible, normal, people become inconsiderate, selfish ***** once they're behind the wheel with little Colby and Shelby on board.

If I had my way I'd clamp the muppets - all four wheels - and throw away the keys.... /RANT OVER

No, go ahead. Do you like kittens?

Lol, with an eBay username like homecontents2013 - it's a burglar shifting his wares!

And that's why I hate them.

G4S & SERCO are at the top of my list of hated companies in the UK. Both are equally useless. Good story on the BBC site: BBC News - G4S probe after money van hatch left open in Norwich YOUTUBE: Bunch of amateurs!

Is it okay to use images taken from Google Maps / Earth on your website so long as you credit them as the source such as in this example on the BBC News Website: STORY: BBC News - Bulkington railway bridge closed for after being repeatedly hit IMAGE USED: I have emailed the mighty Google as I want to use some of their imagery on a website but as yet have not had a reply. Many thanks!

That reminds me - time to wire the doorbell up to the mains again....

Oh, crap. The wife is just on the way now to the vets to have Tiddles euthanized as I accused her of peeing on my new Dell laptop - oh well, never mind....

I can hear the gears at the Daily Mail going in to a frenzy now.

F00k. How mad and cr@p is all that!

Hmmmm, can we elaborate on 'Deranged Masturbation' or 'Congestion of Brain'?!?!

Hi, Does anyone on here have experience of self publishing? We have been asked by a student how they would go about producing their own eBook for distribution. I suggested using something like Serif PagePlus and saving as a .pdf but they want something that can be used on Kindles apparently. They also want to sell it on Amazon. Any pointers? Pitfalls?

My favourite image: The BBC Story is here: BBC News - The Spirit of Brooklands And the photographer's website (Douglas Kurn) is here: Douglas Kurn, Photographer Brooklands Series: Douglas Kurn - Brooklands Well worth a visit.

I know it's only 7" but your wife / partner should be grateful: Zoostorm 3310-9509 SL8mini2 7-inch Tablet PC (Cortex A9 Dual Core 1.5 GHz, 1GB RAM, 16GB Memory, Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories ;-)

My wife hates Milton but I think he's brilliant. ‘Years ago I used to supply filofaxes for the mafia. Yes, I was involved in very organised crime.’

I'm ignoring this thread.

For us it depends on the users / location. 10 minutes most locations such as classrooms. Longer like 30 minutes in offices.

Ouch...I feel for the techs.

Schools have a proven track record of exploiting their IT staff. underpaying them, and generally being unappreciative of all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Saying that, they're a great place to forge a career, you get to work with big kids and little kids and support staff, and the hours can be very convenient. IT in UK education is quite an exciting place to be at the moment - I'm loving the growth in the use of tablets like iPADs.

I don't care - you get what you pay for - Apple, take my money!

The Apple website has been updated now.

Ouch..... ........KILLER SPIDERS ATE MY HAMSTER!!!!!!
