AFAIK sausage rolls are made from the sweeping off the abattoir floor, including the best bit - the sawdust they use to soak up the blood.

Connect a Rasberry Pi to it and run Stellarium.

I had a chuckle when I saw this Electric trucks and vans cut pollution faster than cars - BBC News Birmingham had an electric bin lorry in 1938 and it was in use until the early 1970s http://www.birminghamroundabout.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/pict0041.jpg

We have both MediaWiki and DocuWiki. MediaWiki had better editing features, Docuwiki is easier to setup and manage. Personally I prefer the former but the boss said a couple of years ago that we are moving to the latter. I've used https://moinmo.in/ in the past too - it really is the cat's pajamas (or it was when I used it).

I made a useless machine a couple of years ago and I'm thinking this might be next, and might give @Fazza an idea on how to link the boxes Hello There Boxes: 8 Steps (with Pictures)

Yep, it's Medusa House. We used to use it as classrooms and it was damned noisy with the windows open. The flats look nice but you can't forget where they are. Still it would be better to live there than in the flats at Merry Hill. One of the teachers from my last school lived there - very handy for shopping but difficult to get in and out of.

Near where I work, they've converted a six storey office block into 12 two bedroom flats and each has a parking space with a charging point - this is good. Bad news is that it's right on the ring road in the armpit of the Black Country, so I think they are going to have trouble selling them.

Trolleybuses were good. Future technology for buses could be the Parry People Mover although it is probably better suited to light rail. I ride it every day to work. The current version has a van engine converted to LPG. One proposal for longer lines is to have a short section of third rail at each stop and have the car electrically powered. Earlier in the week, John Parry himself was on board. Here's an idea for public transport, but have the riders powering the bus rather than wasting all that energy Work out DURING your commute?

Presumably diesel trains and diesel generators will still be allowed? The electrification of the current rail network won't be completed by 2040.

We use a MySQL database and a handful of php scripts, which were written in-house years ago. Some of the layout is a bit strange but it works and there is no point in changing. Besides, moving to a new system would be a nightmare. At my two last schools, and when I worked for a couple of e-tailers, they wasn't anything in place when I started. I implemented the "stuff" spreadsheet in OpenOffice and that worked well too. Even handled asset life.

No, it just says 18V. However, the power supply has now been located in a cleaners cupboard (why??) and it turns out to be a rare beast - 18V AC 2200mA, so I doubt we would have located a suitable spare anyway.

Has anybody got one of these? 1680029 | 2 x 25W Amplifier | Sahara Presentation Systems | AV-iQ Europe If so, can somebody tell me the power supply specs, especially the amperage? We've lost the power supply for one and I'm trying to find a suitable replacement. Thanks!

I've had a lot of success with Koha in a previous school. It's Heritage where I am now - it's a beast but their support bods are pretty swift.

I was amused by the BBC article today Jodie Whittaker and the other sci-fi women breaking the glass ceiling - BBC News "While there seems to have been a push for female talent in 2017, the presence of strong women in sci-fi is actually nothing new" and they go onto mention Princess Leia, Scully, Ripley and Captain Janeway. Leading the way was Andra (TV Series 1976) and Lynda Carter, some 40 years ago.

+1 - you can never have enough electrickery. Don't let the designers space them evenly around the room either. You want them in clusters.

Look Back in Anger - Richard Burton and Claire Bloom are on fire. Saw A Swingin' Summer also - with Raquel Welch in an early role and Lori Williams shaking her stuff. Several 60s groups - The Rip Chords, Gary Lewis & The Playboys and The Righteous Brothers groups appear too.
