  1. I was going to use a Scandinavian flat pack bookcase to replace my bath, but that Ikea didn't hold water
  2. Rigt click on the taskbar, go to News & interests and there's a "turn off" option
  3. Very annoying, but at least on work PCs it can be controlled via Group Policy...would be more helpful if "features" like this were disabled by default! https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/group-configuration-news-and-interests-on-the-windows-taskbar/ba-p/2281005
  4. My brother and I are the same...he's two years older, right handed and eats "backwards". I'm left handed and eat "the right way".
  5. The mics we use for our PA are 863.3 and 864.3 MHz, the same model also operates on .1 and .8 frequencies so maybe these can be tried?
  6. So, is the person on the horse playing water polo?
  7. One way to keep up social distancing...no-one will come anywhere near you!

  9. Thanks - we were hoping that iSAMS had a built in timetable module in a similar way to Engage but looks like we'll have to pay for another add-on... Does timetabler have the option for a two week timetable?
  10. We're in the process of changing MIS, from Engage to iSAMS. We have always used the built-in Engage timetable module, but evidently iSAMS does not have the same features. Other schools in the group have advised use to use Timetabler.com (whose delightfully retro website tells me that the software runs on Windows 98 and above!) - does anyone have experience of using it? Is it as straightforward as they claim?
  11. This isn't just a house, it's a horse?
  12. Same here, computers in question running Chrome 90 (as are other computers which print fine)
  13. Similar issues here with some computers, printing from Chrome and just get the spinning wheel of death without being able to select a destination. Ctrl + Shift + P seems to work fine.
  14. If debugging keyboard shortcuts are on, Serch & Shift & P will turn off the trackpad: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/disable-the-touchpad-on-a-google-chromebook/
  15. Glad the sign inside the shop says "one at a time please", not an area you want to break social distancing rules!
  16. Definitely, his best movie EVER was in 1991...
  17. Some recovery companies have an EV charger in their vans, but as the vans run on diesel it's just passing the problem one step along the line! https://www.rac.co.uk/innovation/ev-boost Or you can get this...for a few thousand pounds https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a32069151/blink-roadside-mobile-charger/
  18. I've haddock up to here with this fishy puns. When the mods come along...don't tell them your name, Pike!
  19. We used KnowBe4 a couple of years ago. No-one was told about it (not even the Head!) and a "you must click here to change your password" message went out to all staff on a Friday afternoon, just after they all left for the day. I got a lot of forwarded emails, and a few phone calls about it. Only one person clicked on the link (that person claimed they knew it was a test and did it "just to see what happened") - it took them to a page explaining what they should have spotted in the original message.
  20. Very sad news, shame he couldn't make it another few months to get a telegram from his wife. I was lucky enough to meet him in 2015, in his role as patron for the BHF.

  22. Socks deployed for last day of term - "snazzy socks" in aid of the local hospice, in memory of my boss who passed away earlier this month.
