Jupiter it is and it's very bright again tonight.
That should be South Western sky surely ??
No North East. The bright object you can see SW is Altair. Right now Jupiter is below the horizon NNE. Venus has dropped below the SSW horizon at present. Neptune and Uranus are between East and South at present although I'd guess they aren't visible to the naked eye.
All these positions can vary it all depends on what time you look out/up.
There's a really good download to see what's up there, called Stellarium.
iPad and Android have apps called Night Sky. All are full of info for budding stargazers.

Venus is very easy to spot at present just as the light starts to go. In the South Eastern sky but soon dropping below the horizon. Jupiter was visible to the North East a bit later in the evening.

I have a Packard Bell computer for sale. Comes with power lead, keyboard and mouse.
Windows XP Home edition Service pack 3 [recent clean install]. 360GB hard Drive, 2 GB of Ram, with an Intel Duo core processor, Ethernet, Realtek audio and Nvidia Video card.
A bit noisy at start up but otherwise is pretty quick and works well.
No monitor or other peripherals included.
Looking for the bargain price of £75 collection only from near Cambridge

We need the rain, all our lakes are down by a couple of feet.
The wind was pretty strong around 1pm but seems to have dropped now. It's the early morning when it's forecast to hit us here in East Anglia. I did say forecast.

No not the Chain, but the new song played at the end of the BBC coverage today, what's it called and who is it performing it?

I'm not surprised having read through all the previous my brain hurts.Thanks, Nick. Steve is out of sorts at the moment.

Get well soon Steve.

Get the EA to check the Dissolved Oxygen levels. Hydrogen Peroxide is their go to method. Worthwhile getting a Venturi pump in the lake to increase Oxygen. Failing that get air stones [bubblers] in there. Do you have an electricity supply close enough to get these aids installed? If all esle fails call the fire brigade.

Groovy, you certainly won't be wasting your time as fishing isn't a waste of time. Whether there are any BASS where you mention is for you to find out.
I realise you are new to fishing but the best way to answer your question is to experiment yourself.
Finally Sea Bass only exist in the minds of TV Chefs, Restauranteers [sp] etc in the UK. We only have BASS here.
Good luck and tight lines

A bit late with this one. Monday night's storm started around 11pm and was still going strong at 7am. The most spectacular Storm I can remember.
Looking forward to getting another one soon.

Thanks for the help guys. Just discovered that ConvertX2DVD converts and burns to NTSC.

I have 4, 26 minute DVDs to convert from PAL to NSTC, can anyone point me to a program that will do the conversion for me?
I believe NERO RECODE will do the job, but it's likely to be a one off so I'm hoping to keep the costs down.
Thanks.

I see JC has just banked £14m by selling his share of the Top gear holding company. Good luck to him I say.

Do a google search for ways around it, the above isn't free but I'll bet someone can point you to a freebie.

Anybody watch this last night??
Stunning photography.
The savagery of war.portrayed for what it is, obscene!
A friend of mind wonders how [McCullin] stayed sane while witnessing all that horror.
Some heart wrenching scenes and stories.
It takes a special person to be able to be able to shoot those photographs it those terrible circumstances.
Not that it would make any difference, but all politicians should be made to watch that film.If you missed it, it's on iPlayer.

I think you will find it was the Mujahideen who waged war on the USSR. The Taliban followed by taking over Afghanistan in 1996 I think.When the Taliban was fighting the USSR the west was not only talking to them but giving them the means to fight.
I remember as a child the BBC glorifying the fact the Taliban had successfully engaged a Russian convoy or shot down a Russian jet. I remember one striking news piece when a soldier fired a rocket into an unarmed convoy hitting a soft target. Nobody in the west gave a toss about the rules of war, civilian rights or education for girls etc etc.
Back then the Taliban were the buffer against USSR expansion and our best buddies, a bit like Saddam or Osama. Seems like every friend of the west becomes tomorrows enemy. Pity the friends of the west today as their future may not be too bright.
Now the USSR is no more so the Taliban become the enemy. Seems like we must have our enemies lest we lose the justification for murder and mayhem. We must have our enemies to justify the production of our means to kill. A government will spend billions to kill and nothing by comparison to promote peace.
Afghanistan has been a major blight for a century or more and the west uses it and discards it as it sees fit. Nothing I see today is seemingly different from the time of USSR occupation just different political objectives.
Maybe Shell have identified potential Oil pockets ripe for plunder...who knows??
See the film Charlie Wilson's War.

Some of you may remember I had this nice little bungalow up for sale in 2010
well we were in the area recently and found [see attached thumbnail] in it's place.
It seems it cost just over €1m to build.
The multi-millionaire who built it gave €10m to various charities in recent years and has just given another house in the area to another charity.
He aims to give away most of his fortune before 2015. He will have to go some as he is on the Irish Rich list with €857m it seems.

Try this link http://www.accony.co.uk/images/Dave%27s%20tackle.doc
The other link works fine for me? Do you have Excel or similar?

This time it's at start up. I'm getting a screen that presents me with a button "other user", I don't have "other user". I have to start in last known configuration to get the damn thing working.
Win7 64bit with SP1 installed.
HELP

A good friend passed away a few months ago and his Widow has asked me if I can help clearing his tackle. So I've listed as much as a I can.
See http://www.accony.co.uk/images/Dave%27s%20tackle.xls for what's available.
I'm not prepared to send any of the rods via post/courier as most don't have tubes and they [most anyway] just aren't worth it.
Pick up from near Bar Hill near Cambridge.
Sensible & reasonable offers please.

Okay I might have been a bit rash there.
I somehow seem to have fixed it??
I promise not to swear like that again [iMac]

Venus is below the horizon, it's Altair that you can see and yes that's SW.
Jupiter is about to show itself to the NE well it would if it wasn't so cloudy. ;o)
