  1. kicking myself now for not writing down more details and grabbing some pics while i had it, i just wanted the damn thing out of my house.
  2. thanks folks, i'll contact the local schools tomorrow.
  3. Hi Folks, Long time since I've worked in schools or posted here. just got a bit of a weird non it issue and wasn't quite sure if I'm overthinking it or should just let it drop. Found a kids phone as i was walking the dog, luckily managed to re unite it with it's owner. 14 year old lad, probably 1 of 2 local schools he'd be in. But it was slathered in Nazi and Bristol city nazi fan club stickers. think BC 88 hardcore fans and SS skulls and helmets. problem is I only have a name and age, is that even enough to bother reporting to those schools? Misses is telling me to drop it, if i'd found it in school i sure as hell wouldn't have, but then i'd of known the kid or his details.
  4. It's so warm today its burning right away. Last night i could understand why schools closed, but today i woke up and all the roads and pavements are clear
  5. about 3 inches here, not too bad and roads pretty much clear unlike earlier this month. Oddly, this time no-ones bothered to clear snow from thier pavements this time, last time everyone was out. I can see ice being a bigger problem this time round
  6. damn snow, i can't be bothered with this fluffy white b******t, i have stuff to do this weekend. The worst of it is, my fridge is empty, so i genuinly have to brave the panic buyers again to get food. freekin soft as s***e southerners >.>
  7. I've used clevertouch with both smart, activ inspire and its own Lynx - which is now compatable with smart notebook files. Also used smart - expensive but good quality, and avocor - cheep but nothing special. I was never a fan of the built in PC's, they just seemed expensive, if you really want something small and out the way use some intel NUC's and tie wraps. Money no object I'd take either the Promethian or the smart boards, but being more sensible with money I'd definitly recomend the clevertouch and lynx (the teachers seem to love it, far moreso than smart of activ inspire).
  8. Sounds like an issue I've had in the past - ended up being the network connection dropping momentarily and not reconnecting in time to display the desktop. Is the server share set to auto reconnect?
  9. I think some of the countries that got rid of pennies still have the .99p pricing, they just round it after the shop is completed. I'd be happy to see pennies and 99p pricing go thought tbh. just round everything to the nearest 00 and do away with coins I have almost lilterally started throwing away
  10. I'm not sure what my weigh in is, but i can now take off my jeans without undoing the buttons on my jeans and my elasticated old man work trousers (sooo comfy) now need a belt. The flu truely is the best wieghtlosss tool
  11. I think thats the thing most people forget when they rant about the chaos. This was a what, 1 in 10 - 1 in 20 year event? Most countries struggle with those events. Only here, because the weather is so mild, do we expect to be able to keep going no matter what happens.
  12. had snow here heavily all day. My nieghbour is a genius, he's got the local kids playing a game of who can build the biggest pile of snow. Al our drives are completely clear so far, and they've been doing a good job of keeping the road clear

    resubbed to wow after 7 years out. goodbye everyone, its been nice knowing you all *locks door and closes curtains*
  15. I think its the spectre and meltdown patches. It has an effect on all intel pc's the older the pc the worse effected they seem to be. Also hits windows 7 harder than 10. Apparantly there will be future updates that lower the performance effect. https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/01/09/understanding-the-performance-impact-of-spectre-and-meltdown-mitigations-on-windows-systems/
  16. You mean, like, his helmet? That he wore? That did protect him? A halo wouldn't of prevented that either, a screen may of, but if thats the route to go down we may as well abandon the open cockpit formula (not something I'm actually against, look how fast lmp1 is)
  17. Its an over reaction to a non issue. Both recent deaths resulted from people not following other rules. Not because of a lack of head protection. Get rid of both - or do away with the open cockpit formula completely.
  18. I recently had this issue, fixed it by pointing the users activprofile at a different folder. Might be worth a try.
  19. It was still an enjoyable film. I think the problem was all the fan theories that got out of hand that turned out to be wrong\not even addressed in the film
  20. I dunno, i'm one of those guys, i can't help but over analyze movies. the more i watch the more plotholes I'll find and the more it'll bug me. On the other hand, arguing about those plot holes is half the fun
  21. If it were a marvel movie it'd capt america winter soldier - still good, but the more you think about it the more it will bug you
  22. there was a ready player 1 trailer, but that was about it really, there wasn't many adds at all. wait... mortal engines trailer, that's getting a movie? that could be interesting
  23. caught the midnight showing of star wars ep 8. it was... interesting, good, but don't think too hard about it as there are more plot holes than normal even for a star wars movie
  24. given all the tablets out there i still think ipads are the best. get some rugged cases and they should last really well. Can't say I've ever been impressed with any android tablet I've had come my way, or any windows tablet sub £500 Don't forget to factor in the cost of some management tools too.
  25. other than swiggle I don't actually know of any others. I'd be glad to hear your suggestions Their filtering should enable google safe search anyway.
