Dual language books for KS1 and KS2
featured_spectre replied to SimonWindisch's topic in General Chat
Icelandic? Not one you hear of often, however English is pretty much the standard second language there, as if you can't pronounce Icelandic, they'll not understand you...at all. -
Can't delete folder because it's not there...apparently!
featured_spectre replied to StevieM's topic in Windows
IF that doesn't work, Put the drive into a caddy, and do it from command prompt on another machine. Works for me without issue if I can't delete it whilst windows is running. -
Didn't MS say they will be working on a 5 year cycle from now on with consoles? Roughly the same as a PC cycle.

Fibre broadband with no download limits. Recommendation?
featured_spectre replied to Garacesh's topic in General Chat
buy DVDs as and when I like, generally from charity shops/ebay/whatever takes my fancy. IF it is a new release, then tesco as they usually stock them on the day and no rush to buy them. I hook up my external DVD drive into the NAS, tell it to copy content. -
Fibre broadband with no download limits. Recommendation?
featured_spectre replied to Garacesh's topic in General Chat
no, but then there is also content to my cloud storage. I often buy films on DVD and put them on my network storage (Which I can connect too from anywhere). Captain America Winter Soldier takes up a little over 2GB alone, multiply this by nearly 1000 films (granted I don't do it often, but every time I buy a film I do it). Then when I want to watch them, I stream them from wherever I am, and it uses up data at home. -

I could blitz 500GB in a month with ease. Just downloading my steam and origin library would push it to nearly 1TB -
[video] The truth about Beats by Dr Dre.
featured_spectre replied to abillybob's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
I stick with sennheiser personally. I've not had an issue with them. I've tried Bose, Phillips, Skullcandy, Sony and Plantronics, and found that for music, they just don't compare (to me). -
[video] The truth about Beats by Dr Dre.
featured_spectre replied to abillybob's topic in Jokes/Interweb Things
Dr Dre did spend time working with studios to get the headphones to sound good...unfortunately, they sound good to him. What sounds great too me, sounds awful to anyone else, because we all have different hearing abilities. I can't hear certain frequencies, so I have to adjust the equaliser and such like so that it sounds right for me. I have been told by others that it is awful for them, but hey ho. -
The Dr has committed genocide to ensure the survival of other beings, up to and including his own race of people.

My office is chock full of them. haha. What you should do is get them to provide all of the documentation possible regarding the order, from picking and packing, to postage etc, that way you can have the chain of events to hand.

We had a delivery allegedly delivered here by Yodel. They didn't, CCTV shows nothing for the day or time they said they delivered. One of the lawyers here got on the case and phoned up as it was needed for the Managing Director/Chairman/Senior Partner of the company, and lets just say, they tore them a new one.

No, because it would still be illegal. Dartmoor have restrictions, stating you cannot stay for more than a day in the same location and you have to be in certain locations to do it. I would like it to be so that I could go to a woodland, pick a nice spot, and camp for a little while. Obviously there would be zones restricted, but woodlands, or open land like Dartmoor it should be allowed. It isn't an issue across Europe (looking further, the UK are the only set of countries in the EU to have outlawed wild camping).
-
It is not a case of breaking trespassing laws. What it is, is opening up land like Ashridge park, or other publicly owned or funded land (excluding wildlife trust land etc) for wild camping. If I went camping in a farmers field, I fully expect to get prosecuted for trespassing. IF I currently go camping at Ashridge or other public owned/funded land, I can be prosecuted for trespassing, along with a whole host of wildlife endangerment charges when no danger presents itself. I am a responsible camper, I practice bushcraft frequently, I tidy and clean after myself when I camp, and leave very little trace that I was actually on site.

Wild camping is that, camping on wild lands. You can stretch it for 2 weeks if you really wanted too, but by that point you'd be damaging the surrounding environment. However the current view is, any form of camping on land that isn't sanctioned for it, will damage the wildlife. Yet studies in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden, Finland and Belarus have shown that when people do wild camping with the rules laid out in the law, it is generally respected, with less than 1% of people doing actual harm to the environment. The people that actively would like to do wild camping, are the ones that would respect the law and the traditions of bushcraft, and it is an ideal chance to teach children about the wilderness. You saying that it will be abused, the same can be said for anything else. Driving can be abused, Alcohol can be abused, yet both are perfectly legal to do or use.

Not really no, especially when they're loud, obnoxious, leave the place in a mess. I've been to many a camp site which has been awful, and now I'd rather camp in my garden if I want to do it. I would love to camp on any public land, even if it is the woods behind my house, but alas, not an option whilst it is illegal.

LEGALISE WILD CAMPING IN THE UK - e-petitions This is something close to me. In Sweden and other European countries, wild camping is legal, with little issue, yet the UK has an obscured view on this. Please sign the petition to help get the legislation changed.
