Me too. Depending where I'm staying or working both of those can be five minutes away! Sycamore Farm has a good range of real ale!

I use Millers Diesel Eco Max in my diesel every fill up. I don't have any scientific data to prove it, but my car feels better for it and I get more out of a tank.

The C4 pundits said that Rosberg's car had the same issue and he managed to change his settings. Hamilton gets flustered when under pressure and that starting grid position was probably part to blame. The solution should be quite simple though - get the team to have a code so they can secretly say yes or no: So, for example, if you want to convey "no" - say "I'm Not allowed to say", for yes - "You know I can't tell you".

The ANME luncheons at Chorley are brilliant. Maybe you need to set up a stall to sell beer?

Who's using the Arena Group for copiers? General Feedback?
Gibbo replied to pete's topic in General Chat
We're using them, great service. I like how the consumables arrive automatically when they're running low. -
Correction - teachers. This argument (and I've been in it countless times regarding copyrighted music or videos) reminds me of this and the way they think education is above the law:

Great race, good to see a proper battle for all three podium spots, not just third because first and second reserved for Mercedes. The only bad thing about the race - the TV pundits will now go on and on and on about the "battle" between Hamilton and Rosberg, just like they did last year - the amount of airtime the BBC filled with it was boring. And they'll also tout Verstappen as "the next big thing" when it was more down to luck and positivity of his promotion.

How do you guys handle offsite tape backups with Veeam? I've just moved to a school which uses this system. At my previous schoool we had MS DPM and used to do a tape backup on Sunday night. On Monday it would put a tick next to the tapes in my library which were ready to be moved offsite, but I can't see how this works on Veeam. I have a Dell 16 tape autoloader attached. There's a Sunday night tape backup job set here, but I don't know which tapes its used to take out.

Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon show to be called The Grand Tour
Gibbo replied to Zoom7000's topic in General Chat
probably very little. Towards the end they relied too heavily on their challenges, which were initially good, but ran out of ideas and steam. -
I've just done the same. Its a good area for IT jobs as there are lots of towns and a good motorway network for commuting, so you can search afar as Burnley, Lancaster and down to Liverpool.

My verdict: C4 taking over: Brilliant. A few too many adverts for my liking, but a really good choice of presenters and technical analysis. BBC dropped the ball some time ago and C4 have nicely picked it up. I never liked Suzi Perry as a presenter. Not too sure about Steve Jones, either. He seems keen though. Qualifying: Exciting at first as the bottom ones were eliminated, but the last five minutes when it wasn't worth taking your car out was a huge embarrassment. Thankfully they've changed the idea back now. When the FIA come up with new ideas, all I think of is this spoof advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH_ihfDnohI Race: Pretty good. Brilliant start for Ferrari, good finish for Team Haas and Jolyon Palmer. And the Alonso crash was just jaw dropping. Highlights of the weekend: David Coultard on Ferrari parts prices: "I bet many fans would be willing to pay £800 for one of Sebastian Vettell's nuts". And Hamilton on the radio after the Red Flag: "How do I turn off the alarm?". Reply: "Sorry Lewis we can't tell you".

Interesting article here: Longer school days on way in huge education restructure - Liverpool Echo I can't speak for other schools, but: A) Ours finishes at 3. B) But then it doesn't, because for the past few years we've had many after school clubs, revision clubs, catch up sessions, homework clubs and the like.

And now they've pulled it from the show, £100K wasted.

For me, its not the proximity to the cenotaph, rather its just more of the same old tired formula. Didn't they also recently do a road trip to Blackpool (already done by Clarkson) in Reliant Robins (also done by Clarkson).

Agree. We went from WP to Joomla and I hate it.

More likely already in a contract to present for the BBC (F1). But now they've quit early they need a job for him!

Even if not there are programs to read and write DOS formatted discs on the Beeb.
