      A bit hotter than my Jalabeanos. ;) Can't understand why Heinz haven't cottoned on to this but there again it's a bit powerful for baby food.

      I guess it's kitbashing with food, Namdo's butties are also popular round here (ham + napalm).

  3. Is really glad I use screen protectors on cameras - if you don't it's worth investing a few quid. My heart was in my mouth when the camera dropped onto a hard object.

      it must be a tough camera, it managed a photo of us lot at Donny without breaking...

      Yes; that dducked the lens. ;)

      Go for glass screen protectors if you can Don rather than the plastic layers.

      Hi Andy,

       

      I like the new thumbnail format for Layout Topics. Can we choose our own pictures? Poor old Furtwangen Ost seems to have just a bare wallpaper table!

       

      All the best,

      Or do you just need to change the first picture?

    4. Andy Y

      Andy Y

      The author (or admin) can change the pic. Got to the image which you want to display, right click to copy the image url and then head back to the relvant forum view, click on the image and you can paste the url of the image you'd like to display and then save. I'm waiting for someone to right an edit for me and then I should be able to get it to display in VNC and I think it'll help attract readers to the right topics.

  6. Hmm, it's fairly quiet on here at the mo. Maybe time to do an upgrade.......

      Is North Devon distinguishable from the North Atlantic yet?

  8. Spotted down at the pub tonight - a sign for an 'End of the World' party. On 31 Dec. :-/ You'd think a Titanic pub could do a disaster party!

      Yeah; they've got some lumps of fallen masonry, a couple of zombie 'Stretch Armstrongs' and half-eaten tin of bins. One could be quite valuable I believe.

Just because there are others that behave that way doesn't make it appropriate. I can take a joke as much as anyone, from friends or even at myself but I do draw the line at snide people taking pops.

      "I left my shoes and socks there.
