    Sky Protect?

    Andy Y replied to a topic in Wheeltappers

    You'll be plagued forever by these. Sky sell on details of box owners to numerous warranty providers. Your recently provided box will be covered by a 12 month warranty with Sky anyway but such companies try and sell the additional benefits of accidental damage cover, dish etc. It's up to you if you think the extra amount is worth it but I wouldn't bother until it's out of manufacturers warranty at least Tom.

    Boris may be eligible for parole under a restraining order not to mention bodily functions, underpants, winding up the Mods and combinations thereof. This is of course subject to his acceptance of the above; breach of these parole terms will mean a long spell on the naughty step.

    I've used this seller of epson compatible cartridges and had no problems at all - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/COLOR-PRO-INKS/_i.html?_nkw=epson+r360&submit=Search&_sid=716533199

    Gentlemen, whilst topic diversions are acceptable it may be better to create a separate topic where the material is heading in a divergent direction. However a topic is not the domain of the OP to dictate what should and should not be in there and polite mutual development of content would be the way to go rather than being confrontational over the credentials of a fellow contributor. I see that Peter has clearly qualified the earlier statement with supporting evidence.

    Found the material - http://www.life.com/gallery/62531/the-golden-age-of-train-travel#index/27 Originality for ineptitude goes to Life magazine.

    Got your own back on us! That link isn't accessible to those of is the UK as it's part of their international service which isn't funded by the licence fee. Edit - Just been for a look behind a web proxy now - did they have a golden spike ceremony deep in Box Tunnel?

      Andy, I'm nominating you to run the Olympic Torch through the Internet for London 2012.

      Backups are for wimps - kidding.

       

      Tip - make sure you can read the backup.

      Make sure you can restore the backup, reading it is the easy bit.

    No, the challenge ends this year. Feel free to make something for your own benefit outside the timeframe of the challenge though.

    ..or can't afford the hospital car park. You're right, there's a multitude of reasons and I wouldn't like to see the topic become clouded with anyone being too judgemental or assumptive about non-attendees. P.S. Can I claim against the consultant who did an op on me when I just thought I was going for a consultation. Too damned efficient and I couldn't walk straight for a fortnight.
  10. Andy Y
    No; he gave a balanced perspective earlier on. Maybe the bit about an eye-test was right though.

    I am looking forward to it John; it's a bit of spectacle and something more interesting than the usual TV diet. So: Please don't propose to speak on behalf of everyone. I could beef on about absolutely pointless posts being a more depressing portrayal of how people would rather spend their time. Yes, I've been busy with the delete button again.

    has just done the rest of the Military Railway walk as discussed in the Disused Railways Group and pieced together more interesting stuff. Off to the County Records Office tomorrow.

    Yes; if Tony should happen to read this best wishes for a steady recovery.

    Well said BD. I'd like to reiterate that prompt.
  16. Andy Y
    Because it was a poorly constructed post and several people were concerned that it was also irrelevant to Brian's narrative topic.

    Yes, Tango13 nearly got an instruction to Foxtrot Oscar from me this morning.

      There are 100's of nuts here - one will fit I'm sure! ;-)

      I am the only person who saw '7mm' and thought you were looking for detailing for O gauge?

    I've set it up so they're in order with the most recent image first. It's also got the slideshow so you can sit there and let it do the work.

    I'm not a Pinko but I do know the problems that political debate can bring. Some people can't even retain sensibilities and exhibit common sense when it comes to discussing an RTR release so there's no hope when it gets to something important.
  21. Andy Y
    The next person to mention politics will get their avatar flanned!

      Very drole. Do you mean the actual act of crapping upside down or claiming that others can do same, Horse?

      Well, maybe the saying 'if you throw enough s**t, some of it is going to stick' applies to flies aswell.

    Sadly I can't set up an automatic migration but if I can get people to use the gallery rather than the topic it will be much better over extended periods of time.

    On further reflection I feel this popular feature may be better served by a Global Album which members can upload their images too. The album has been created here. This means that feedback can be found within the context of that image and also features prominently on the board index page. It really is intended a means to showcase some of the most inspirational content and I hope that the new feature does work. If anyone wishes to upload any of their existing content into that album please feel free to do so. Any uploaded images will then also feature in the Gallery preview at the top of the board index.
