  1. Maybe show him the Punny thread??? We need re-enforcements mods may disagree
  2. Anyone noticed that the nights are drawing in now (well someone had to say it!!!!)
  3. What is his/her username I presume they are on here - surely they must be?????
  4. Had a couple of days away in Llandudno because we needed to see someone there For those with a long memory - I used to live there. Took this on a walk along the front in the early morning Don;t be fooled by the placid calm exterior quietly paddling along looking like a duck THIS IS AN EVIL THIEVING AGGRESSIVE TERRORISING BAR STEWARD!!!!!! All the damn gull in Llandudno are!! they haven't changed! might even be the one that stole my pie on the front when I lived there or the one who swooped under the awning I was under and knicked my Ice Cream or the one of the ones that tries to steal my chips on numerous occasions probably related to some of the ones that used to swoop around a school further along the coast - when I used to work there - and after the end of break turned the quad into something between a scene Hitchcock had to delete from 'The Birds' for being too scary - and a gull version of Perl Harbour!!!!! p.s. I don;t like gulls (p.p.s. have we done the - 'there are no such thing as seagulls - they are gulls' thing - or was that a 'conversation' I had on another forum?????)
  5. Just finished the blocking of marketing emails thread What a ride!!! like one of those book you expect to read a few pages of then drop but find you can;t put it down!! felt a bit sorry - maybe - for the OP by the end if it was genuine then he may have happily followed someone up a creak and suddenly found the current was greater than expected and the advertised propulsion was a paddle not a motor and the canoe was leaking and after he posted the natives started lobbing rocks!!!!
  6. Good Point - in fact you're even better off - the same site has the 5A fuses at only £25 each!!
  7. Because it is BETTER this is from a Hi-Fi site - better fuses to ensure better sound I presume??? Basic snake oil
  8. I bet you lot all just plug the computer in using inferior equipment and not really consider this essential upgrade here you go https://www.russandrews.com/ultrafuse-13a-single/ So I reckon - computer room with 25 desktops - 1 per monitor, 1 per computer bargain at just over £3000 (little anecdote - when I first met Mrs mikeprice she had a problem with a table lamp so I checked the fuse well that was OK - it would conduct electricity just fine - as it was wrapped in kitchen foil!!!!! so pretty much my first present to her was a bag of fuses!!!)
  9. STILL reading Wheel of Time apparently got about 126 hours left to go!!! posting this because I have discovered that Amazon Prime has made a TV version and series 1 is complete - series 2 is in progress They were touting as 'the New Game of Thrones" - but then everything with a sword in it is being touted that way might be tempted to nab a new free trial of Amazon Prime when it comes out although based on the casting and some of the plot summaries I may just end up shouting at the Telly!!!
  10. Oh yeah anyone seen a brain anywhere????
  11. Who do we know lives in Devon??????? or Derbyshire for that matter
  12. Boom Boom (sails - boom - Google it - maybe I spent too many years sailing!!) (EDIT Since I no longer use Google I should have suggested DuckDuckGoing it)
  13. NO especially anyone who might live in er $southerncountybeginingwithD
  14. oooooooooo who was awake in maths lessons then!!! I assume it wasn't a protracted lesson
  15. swans, cygnets, ducks, ducklings and a canal - probably fish under the surface
  16. slightly off topic but has anyone noticed a tendency for some people on here to be obtuse on occasion???? asking for a fiend r
  17. As the dog is in front of the red line - does this mean that dogs ARE allowed or am I being pedantic???
  18. The best thing about the internet is that you can claim credit for things you had no part in. It’s one of the reasons I invented it.
  19. I've heard that proofreading has been abolished. Is nothing scared? can someone explain this to me please - apparently it is funny
  20. Welcome @KatyB and @Sirach53 Good place to learn - ask question and people are friendly and will try to help
  21. There may be a better thread for this but anyway In the Euro 2021 Football competition The betting odds for England winning are about 6/1 OK - for those not familiar with betting and odds This means that if you bet £20 on England to win at odds of 6/1 you loose £20
  22. That would create uproar around here - Liverpool airport has a lot of housing quite close I can't see that is likely Also - a local aircraft spotter group has some member who seem to live under the flight path very close to the touchdown point - and they seem to be able to get on the WWW quite quickly when 'something interesting' flies past - I assume they are using broadband and wifi so?????????
  23. Well I never had a punk phase - although I was around at the time but you are right about my hair having changed since then wonder where it went????
  24. Whenever I have had a new member of staff starting in a school I always try to get a map for them ALl schools have them for Year 7s - but they never think to give them to new Staff When I have started in school I always have to go to reception myself and ask for one - which normally causes immediate confusion! and then a sudden realisation that it is not such a bad idea!! especially for an IT Tech who could be called to any and every room.
