AdventureMice: Mermouse Mystery and AdventureMice: Mice on the Ice. Two from Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre. Only of interest to Reeve completists like me or those with kiddies in the suitable age range. Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. The conclusion of the "Crows" duology sees the gang trying to recover from the setbacks of the last book. Thoroughly enjoyable, but not quite as epic as its predecessor. For those who want to know how this fits in with the (now cancelled) show: It's a curious mix as Pekka Rollins' fate at the end of the book has already been dealt with in the show (the show has him in a worse place) whilst Matthias is part of the gang mid-way through the first book but Jesper and Wylan only get to kiss quite some way through this one. Anyway, well worth a read if you're into the Grishaverse - but if you've read the first part, I can't imagine you haven't read this one too.

We map the drives via GPO and haven't had any reported problems at home.

Having watched the trailer on a decent screen, it looks like Miller's stunt crew has gone soft - loads of CG being deployed.

How old is Max in Fury Road? Or was the original film set quite some time after "the collapse"?

Could you bodge it with something like: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305090126770 ? Possibly with 90 degree adapters on the end?

Yes, a member of SMT at one of my sites didn't seem to know the difference between renewing an annual (one machine) license and buying a single use license. As we had been using the software for years, we obviously were allowed to use in on computers.

Do you block Youtube for Students?
LeMarchand replied to Driftingashore's topic in Internet Related/Filtering/Firewall
3x KS1/2 blocked for all students or they watch it during lesson time if they can and staff were letting them watch not age-appropriate vids during break. If it's for educational purposes, the teacher can show it. -
You do need PRS/PPL unless everything is strictly educational, though most schools are probably covered by both. Lots of info at the site mentioned above https://cefm.co.uk/licensing/ Plus there is the above-mentioned T&Cs of the media/streamer. Strange how people who specialise in educating others seem incapable of grasping things that don't jibe with what they want to do.

Thanks. That could explain why I haven't had more reports, as I doubt many enable thumbnails. Unfortunately an alternative won't fly as "nothing is in the same place". -

F+U+N = Fun. Otherwise... Edit: Beaten to it. -
Anyone getting this/got a fix? I'd like to just get shot of it, but it would be met with stiff resistance.

NSFW: Loud swearing and unsuitable sights After they save Las Vegas from a nuke, a crack team decides to party hard. Then they discover that the bomb they disarmed was a decoy... Looks like it should be a film rather than an 8 episode show but could be fun if they can maintain the momentum.

Just had a load of price drop notifications on PS Store games. Worth checking your wishlists if you've not already got notifications set up.

You can do all the above on free, and AFAICT you can have unlimited devices in EDU. The main restriction I have come up against is that some things can only be run on an individual basis on free.

Cost of living crisis 2022 - what have you cut back on?
LeMarchand replied to Ditto's topic in General Chat
Not a huge saving but if you regularly use Iceland, top up your card with £20 and they give you an extra £1 (5%). There was an even better Xmas offer, but that's expired. May be worth keeping an eye out next October. On the luxury front, @Arcolite pointed me in the direction of https://www.cheapcharts.info/gb. They also do games service; both email you when stuff on your wishlist drops in price. The US versions are more comprehensive but I have had some great bargains, like all 6 extended Middle Earth movies for £23. -
Classic/Nu Favourite Doctor: Jon Pertwee/Matt Smith* Favourite Villain(s): The Master (Delgado)/Missy Favourite Companion: Sarah Jane Smith/Amy Pond Favourite Episode: The Daemons/The Big Bang tied with Vincent and the Doctor *Capaldi coulda been a contender had he been given better scripts.

Last OFSTED, did she say, "Of all the schools in all the towns in all the world, they walk into mine"?

Sugru also has a shelf-life and never seems to stay useable if you don't need the whole packet. Thanks for the nano-tape idea. I actually have some bits pulled off old kit that I use, but they were too thick and not the right size to hold my car Bluetooth aux adapter to the head unit's display firmly (head unit looks to be far too much like hard work to replace). Once I realised that you can buy it and what it was called, nano-tape to the rescue!

Surely you have to test it? Imagine the disappointment if he opens it to find it is faulty!

KS1/2 schools so YMMV and Midge Ure said it best:
