RMweb is now, for all intents and purposes, unusable.

What's the point of the Mitch Martinez video? It doesn't appear to be advertising anything of relevance. And it has no audio.
It's weird. I just don't see the point of it. It's just like the moving wallpaper in the doctor's surgery, enough to distract, but not enough to entertain.
Edit: now the audio's working. Sometimes.

On further investigation, I'm beginning to wonder whether this video is the cause of some 'unexpected behaviours' that I'm experiencing. Specifically, posting replies seems to result in a 'hang' whereby the post goes through, but the screen doesn't refresh. Seen on both iOS (which doesn't show the video, although it's presumably still downloaded) and MacOS (which does).
@AY Mod, is this a known issue? The screen hanging on post, I mean.

If you’d asked me yesterday what my favourite Christmas film was, I’d have said it was either Alistair Sim’s Scrooge (1951) or It’s a Wonderful Life.
Last night, I watched Klaus with my eldest daughter.
Now, it’s a three way tie.

My eldest daughter bought one of those star projectors. Looking up at the ceiling she remarked “it’s just like going to see the northern lights, only cheaper!”
And warmer.

Q: what's the difference between .jpg and .JPG?
A: none

Watching Terror By Night, in which Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes solves murder and jewel theft on the London-Edinburgh express, on seeing the 'external shots' all I could think was "train set curves".

**** BA
They cancelled a flight that my wife had booked, and ‘helpfully’ automatically rebooked her on a flight a week later. It seems that they’re bait and switching.
Have you tried getting a refund from these clowns?

A mother at 50?
Is this a medical advance or retreat?

Starting a new consulting project with a client who I’ve enjoyed working with in the past. Good times.

It appears that, despite her move to IT and Zoom, Betty will still nip down to the post office should you wish:

My wife has our youngest daughter shovelling the drive of snow. Told her it's her homeschooling PE!

Gah! Damned automatic door opens every time it detects movement. Every bloody time I shift my leg. Oh for the days of less clever.

What’s wrong with posting rants/praise for online retailers in the Model Shop Guide, rather than the Products & Trade Area subforums?
Can we keep the Products & Trade Area to discussion of products (and whatever ‘trade’ means beyond retail)?

POPPY APPEAL
Due to current circumstances, the British Legion poppy appeal is having difficulty this year, as it's not always possible to have the normal stands and personal collections. So keep an eye out (SWMBO ran into one stand at Cobham Services en route to Heathrow), or think of alternative ways to donate. My youngest daughter's school in Dover is selling metal poppy badges, for example.
-
I got a metal lapel badge when they first issued them, and rather than "buy" another each year, I've always dropped my usual donation into a collecting box in my local supermarket. This year, both the local Tesco and Morrisons had collecting tables so given the circumstances, I doubled up my contribution.
Wear your poppy with pride!

RIP Sir Sean Connery.
He could play anyone, or anything, as long as it had a Scottish accent. American-Irish cop, English King, Russian submariner; you name it, he scottishified it.

The COVID dividend...
...tomorrow night we're putting up a "COVID ISOLATION" notice on the door, just to deter trick/treaters!

Hmmm, do innocuous posts magically disappear?
