  1. Spotted this in the back garden today close to the pond, perhaps contemplating suicide??
  2. I was expecting some Chinese girl called Lily!! Nice flower however!
  3. Thanks for alt 0176! At our age [67 ]we are allowed the occasional goof!!
  4. So where does it say East in this post??? :rolleyes: Or West come to that!!
  5. Silly question!! How do you key in the degree symbol?? I've traveled with my mouse to a point at those bearings that's in the pacific just off Baja California, nothing there, perhaps it's sunk??
  6. For Sale My Tokina 165 AT-X Pro DX lens Nikon fit Excellent/as new condition 16-50 mm F2.8 aspherical lens. Complete with U/V filter, lens hood and boxed. Approx. 6 months old. £400 inc P&P PM if interested Colin
  7. Andy, the links just won't load! Have a try with menus, Demos and links on this website Thanks for looking, Colin
  8. How come I can't view certain links of a website on IE and Firefox, but I can on Chrome??
  9. is it done and what can the hacker get/hear? Not that I wish to do any, just wondering what goes on that I don't know about?
  10. Are you on the "standard" view? If not click on options and change to standard and see if that helps.
  11. Sounds as though the Digital sound option has been ticked!
  12. Aha!! I am back to where I like to be! Thanks guys!
  13. What's happened to this website [well at least what's showing up on my monitor] I click on a thread and just get the first post plus the replies are now all in a list, not open as previously?? I haven't touched anything, it just happened!! Honest Guv' Can I please have my old setup back??
  14. Unfortunately there was no operation available when I was a kid, so I had to wear a stick on patch on my specs. It was so oncomfortable that I couldn't wear it for more than a few minutes. The idea was to straighten my eye and hopefully make it develop. Never did! One of my life long wishes was to be able to look through binoculars with both eyes
  15. Great news! Was it a lazy eye? I have the same problem but have been told that my optical nerve hasn't developed properly and I'll never have binocular vision, so no 3D movies for me!! It seems the nerve was probably affected badly when I had Whooping cough as a child [2 or 3 years old] Anyway I'm really pleased for you, now make the most of it!! :thumbs:
  16. Do you think the Icelandic volcano eruption is the start of something bigger? Perhaps the beginning of the end??
  17. For a moment I thought he [brown] was being put forward for the French presidential job! Now I'd even back him for that!! :D :rolleyes:
  18. Try Rob Waddington at Rutland Water Fly Fishing Adventures, he has taken parties to the Miramichi for Atlantic Salmon. The Vedder in Chilliwack BC is a Steelhead hotspot much later in the year. Try Chris Ciesla at River Sport Fishing for more info. Top man is Chris!!
  19. Of course this should have been sent to a Mr Bliar [in particular] and a Mr Brown first! Perhaps "call me Dave" needn't have had a copy then? :rolleyes:
  20. Oh sorry we already have it, it's called Non-Fishing chat!! Luckily I'm able to switch it off! :P Just a shame many other interesting threads get lost in a sea of anti-Tory threads. I'm sure it wasn't like this before the last election with anti-Labour threads. :blink: Over and out!!
  21. On another tack, I think ballot papers are actually numbered and then issued against your name/voting ref/number, so although you are told your vote is known only to you, is it??
  22. Like you Elton, my miles travelled have dropped dramatically. I'm on a pension and fuel could/is be the biggest cost in my budget after our food bill, infact my last fill up cost me £75.40 which is well over half my weekly pension. I changed from an X Trail [2.0 petrol] to a 307 Diesel Estate last year, so from 28-30 mpg to 56-60 mpg, pleased I did with fuel the way it is! I changed the car in early September [2010] and have only just done 3000 miles. Normal mileage would be double that [thank goodness for my bus pass] I've also slowed down considerably but am surprised to see NOT many others have?? I wonder how many on here are still blasting along with the same gay abandon that went with petrol/diesel at 85p a litre? The fuel industry are now bleating they have not had a chance to sell the petrol they have, that was taxed at the higher rate, shame they don't think of that before putting prices up on stock they had paid the lower tax on, time after time, after time!! The thing that really annoys me is the price differential in different areas. I was in Ipswich for a Joe Bonamassa gig last October, fuel there was 4p a litre cheaper than around Cambridge.
