  1. Work: No key ring as we have an id card.

  2. Angel (the theme is The Sanctuary)
  3. Dare I say it? end
  4. Ours are managed and we can tell where they are.
  5. I have a sheep leather trench coat which is fab. I also had a cows leather trench coat, which was very heavy. Cows leather is great for motorbike leathers (maximum thickness, maximum protection), but for normal coats sheep or goat leather is the go IMO. Much lighter to wear and just as warm. Leather clothes will last pretty much for ever. My motorbike trousers are about 40 years old. My motorbike jacket it around 30, but I can't get my arms in the sleeves any more. (See my life story below.) I've just retired a 25 year old leather jacket and treated myself to a new one; the old one has gone in the seams and there are a few holes from hanging it up. Nothing that can't be repaired and I might get it done one day. http://cartoonician.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/atlas-top-half.jpg
  6. I've had three cases where-by updating DC suite using the approved method has downloaded versions of the software that we aren't licenced for, on one occasion a non-existent version. I've spent hours with their online chat and on the phone trying to fix our installs which they broke with their rubbish upgrade procedure. Ever since they moved from proper install files to this cloud install rubbish, their support has been terrible, and it was never that good when we had non-cloud software. I don't think their help desk understand their products.
  7. Antiques shop selling piece of Tornado aircraft
  8. I was born in Australia, but it says I'm from Birmingham, which is where my parents and grandparents come from.
  9. To quote Elvis Costello "My Aim Is True" - The carpet has been down 15 years and it's still fine.
  10. Site administration > Courses Manage courses and categories Locate the course and click on the eye icon
  11. 4:00 - I have carpet in my bathroom and it doesn't cause a problem, apart from being a bit awkward to vacuum around the toilet.
  12. Yet another film which did not need a remake - Richard Roundtree is and always will be Shaft
  13. Are you a Game of Thones fan? Got some spare cash? Got a blank bit of wall that needs covering up? Then this is for you! https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/sworders/catalogue-id-srswo10311/lot-af1fd45c-6af2-4879-ab4d-a9de00d25a59
  14. Any recommendations for dictaphones with auto transcribing software?
  15. I see we're not alone with this. Most of ours just use the IWB as a projector screen, and might just as well have a £200 pull down screen.
  16. Ditto. Besides in 1999 we were watching All About My Mother, The Matrix, Fight Club, Sleepy Hollow, The World Is Not Enough, etc. Oh yeah, there was yet another Star Wars film too.
  17. Another two hours talking to them yesterday to find out the answer to a simple question "How do you upgrade CC 2018 without it downloading the 2019 and completely breaking the installation?" The advice is, to create a new package, uninstall the old version and install the new version. Like wow! Interestingly, on the Mac install there is a hidden program which does the upgrade for you. On Windows there is a hidden program too, which *might* work if you have a 32 bit machine, but doesn't if you have a 64 bit machine. On a 64 bit machine, huge parts of CC are 32 bit (err why? ) and the upgrader is 32 bit.
  18. I use double sided velcro - cut to length. I bought a 5 metre roll about 10 years ago and this is the third school I've used it in - still got loads left. Here a 1m roll I found https://www.amazon.co.uk/VELCRO%C2%AE-velcro-ONE-WRAP%C2%AE-double-Strapping/dp/B017E0FKF8/ref=sr_1_14
  19. They could always take the train.
  20. The simple tips to improve your health In a nutshell Focus on the mind Get a dog Eat 30 different plant-based foods per week Smile more Get enough sleep You have to commit to more exercise if you want to loose weight. For some this is not easy. It might mean a change of lifestyle. Simple things will help. Walk somewhere if you can. At work, go the long away around to where ever you are going. Maybe cycle to work if possible. Finding a type of exercise that is for you might be a problem. I like being in the gym, but it isn't for everyone. I also like ballet classes, but again that isn't for everyone. As an extreme, sell your sofa. Watch TV standing up - you will burn more calories. Or keep the sofa and just stand up.
  21. I go for ASCII aquarium
  22. This is tucked away on the yougov site Duke admits it, " I was trying the Bird Box challenge, got me bloody blinkers off before the rozzers turned up."
