I use a watering can filled with cold tap water with a generous amount of cheap table salt in it. No danger of the screen cracking and the salt helps clear the ice fast

Southampton - plenty of the old City Walls/Bargate that you could get some interesting views of/from. I believe the Civic Centre clock tower is accessible so that could be a good vantage point for you. Rivers and bridges close by (eg Itchen Bridge). Also a quick trip to the docks (10 minutes in the car) might give you some good shots of any large ocean liners currently moored there. If you added a night in at Salisbury then you'd get a chance to drive by Stonehenge and Salisbury itself is interesting.

Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has died
ChickenDhansak replied to LeMarchand's topic in General Chat
It's a good article if you have time to read it; Please Stop Calling Suicide Victims "Selfish" or "Weak" "Suicide isn’t cowardly. It’s not weakness. It isn’t selfish. It’s born of a hopelessness that can imagine no other way out. It is a thick, pitch black haze created by powerful personal demons that prevents you from seeing light." -

You have no idea, you really don't and I find your comments bordering on heartless. I hope you never meet the Black Dog yourself. -

The cost of public transport on the Island was crazy when we went there for a day - it made me wish I'd taken the car, it would have been cheaper

The Cowshed in Scarborough - ok burgers but expensive. Decent selection, small portions, tasty sweet potato fries. The Fox Hound Pub at Flixton Near Scarborough - excellent gourmet style burgers that really fill you up - good choice of toppings/varieties (Personal favourite is the Chichen Itza, stuffed with Guacamole, salsa, jalapenos, a few nachos and sour cream (possibly an onion ring too)) - home made chips and what seems like 2lb of coleslaw accompany these beasts. Both establishments are eat in only

Joey Barton Banned from Football for 18 months
ChickenDhansak replied to Joanne's topic in General Chat
Looks like he did bet on a couple that he played in https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/apr/27/joey-barton-football-association-ban-gambling Further details revealed in the judgment include the fact Barton made 42 bets on 20 games which involved his own team, from a total of 1,620. Of those 42 bets, 15 were on his team to lose. Of the 20 matches he did bet on Barton played in only two. -
Sorry for your loss. One thing that surprised me was that some crems have restrictions on what you can play at a funeral (ie if it isn't on their list you can't have it - Southampton crem was like this when my dad died). Other crems will let you play anything you like (Barnsley were particularly helpful in this respect) If it is at a crem the Funeral Director should have a good idea of any 'rules' regarding music. As regards viewings I've always found that FD's will be pretty accommodating as it's a stressful time for the family and they will normally have someone on duty 365 days of the year. If it's at a Church I wouldnt have thought there would be any restrictions on music choices

Photographers! Back ups how do you do it?
ChickenDhansak replied to hardtailstar's topic in General Chat
I use 2 2TB external hard drives + my laptop. Backup from laptop to 1 HDD every time I take some pics and then HDD 1 is backed up weekly to the 2nd HDD which I keep in a different place to HDD 1. Obviously the more I take the more I backup across the 3 devices. I know online/cloud backup seems to be the way to go but at least this way I keep control of my pics and can choose what I share. -
[1703, cu] Windows 10 Creators Update (v1703) now available to download

I bought a Panasonic combi oven/microwave back in 1989 and it still works. You could get a decent sized chicken in it to roast but little else but it turned out some decent meals. Can't believe it is still going altho' it gets used more as a microwave these days so my daughter tells me. @eyetea The Bosch induction hob I have is excellent and cools down reasonably quickly. It is easy to control the cooking temperature (ie going from boil to gentle simmer) and as an indication I can normally wipe off any spills within 5 minutes of turning it off without the J Cloth catching fire

When we got our last (rescue) dog I shopped around and went with Direct Line. The limit per claim, length of time you can continue to claim for an ongoing condition and minimal policy restrictions were what we wanted. In addition, our vet is happy for us to just pay the excess and they deal directly with the insurers - never had an issue and we get texts from Direct Line when claim forms have been processed and payment sent. We got badgered by PetPlan who gave us a month's free insurance on the new addition as part of the adoption package but their policy was nowhere near as good, and more expensive than DL. A downside is that the excess increases every year by about 7% but I'd rather that than one of the dogs have a serious injury and we find that the claim limit is nowhere near the total cost of the treatment. One of them is being treated for a slipped disc right now and I would imagine that the 2 overnight stays, pills, tests and consultations etc are mounting up already. We pay £50 a month for 2 elderly dogs and that has gone up from an initial £35 a month 4 years ago.

Very sad - it's been a completely rubbish year for deaths -
