We wouldn't be without ours. Teachers load resources to it and students submit work via it. I do wish teachers would enter their resources into Moodle, rather than uploading M$ Word or PP files. If they did, students could display the content directly in the browser, rather than having to download stuff. With tablets becoming ubiquitous, I can see the day SMT will have to force the issue.

My sister, who is a big fizzy pop drinker, swears by her soda stream. Her fizzy pop is actually just soda water. She likes bubbles and doesn't mind the lack of flavour. Perhaps you could get one and add a twist of lemon to just soda water?

At home we say "I'm going to tape " when we go out, when we mean program the PVR. Mind you, I still record cassettes - I haven't done any this year but there will be some to do soon.

I was hoping to get back to the gym and ballet this week, after two weeks basking in the Aussie sun but the day I got back, my body decided it didn't like the Pommie weather and I've gone down with a case of the runs I hope to get back to it all next week. It will be interesting to see how many pull ups I can do, or can't - I was doing 8 sets of 8 before I left but I imagine they've dropped off a lot.

A few over Christmas, sitting on aeroplanes : Jersey Boys - very good; great music from my era Blue Jasmine - typical Woody Allen pretentiousness, very dull Survivor - far too many plot holes - you would think if a top CIA agent is on the run, the first thing she would do is ditch her trackable id and adopt a disguise

'Anti-pee' walls in Hackney will splash offenders - BBC News We could do with some of this in Brum city centre, as could probably most large cities. I can see a downside though - you're catching the bus home and somebody on it has been caught out by the paint.

My code is often flakey. The problem is my mind drifts quite a bit when I'm writing.

In a similar blue vein, I'd like to wish everyone gouda wheel for the festive season.

Thanks sted & Oaktech - that's two things I've learned today!

I find the lack of an obvious run prompt on Server 2012 a PIA, so I normally find the CMD prompt and run fire off everything from there. Today, I learned you can fire off notepad, mmc, etc directly from the powershell rather than having to find the CMD prompt. Result [ATTACH=CONFIG]33934[/ATTACH]

I would have made a saucy comment, but I couldn't think of one. I could tell the panel about my new HP printer but I won't.

You appear to have forgotten to watch The Holiday Special - I watched it when it was first transmitted and it put me off Star Wars completely!

What Norphy said. Roddenberry must be spinning in his grave.

Thanks for the heads-up. I didn't know Sagan did the RI lectures. I'll have to watch it over the break. I think "Cosmos" was the finest documentary series ever produced. I recorded it onto VHS when it first went to air and I watch it every couple of years. I'm so glad it came out on DVD. I also have "Cosmos: The Special Edition" which I recorded at the time (1986). I do wish that would come out on DVD. I have the book and LP too.

I think it's the Gloucester Tree. I climbed it in 1972, when I was 14. Back then it had wooden rungs, which moved as you stood on them and the wooden cabin was still there. I remember that you had to walk on top of one of the branches to reach the cabin. It was quite scarey.

On another forum, someone suspected it was going to be a QR code and we was correct. Forearmed with this knowledge I didn't even start the puzzle, as I don't have anything that will read QR codes. Also I'm pretty rubbish at that sort of puzzle...
