    It's no wonder my wife thinks I'm grumpy.

      You're not grumpy shewing those mouth watering TMC double bolsters in your recent video.

    It's torrential rain and windy here - but please, tonight, remember these heroes from 30 years ago tonight- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penlee_lifeboat_disaster

      Firefighters? The Police? The RNLI has long been a national service which should be subsidised by our goverments. But that's an argument for another time. RIP, those brave sailors of Penlee.

      Mousehole men - and one of them was the pub's landlord, so not full time mariners but volunteers from all walks of life.

      Judging by some posts it definitely is, but now I have regrettably added to that scenario (but Andy has my permission to pull my post if it goes against the spirit of that thread)

    Just because Internet Explorer's whizzy thing goes in circles faster it does not mean it is any faster!

    Just finished judging Bachmann's photo competition - some cracking entries which it's worth getting the next issue of Bachmann Times for.

      Sorry Reeves, I though the most recent issue had landed with everyone; the results will be in the early 2015 one. I don't actually know who the photographers are as it's blind judging.

      If it's blind judging, how did you see the photo's? ;-)

      Backups are for wimps - kidding.

       

      Tip - make sure you can read the backup.

    4. Trebor

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

    likes the changes in Gallery Style; I'll have to do some work to get it to pull Featured Images from somewhere more meaningful than just the latest uploads.

    1. gwrrob

      gwrrob

      People need to describe their photos more as well.

    2. Coldgunner

      Coldgunner

      The bugbear I find with the recent images is that they are easily overcome by one uploader.

      My mate Vince has an eye condition where he does have to have needles stuck into his eyeballs. The thought of it makes bits of me shrink!!

      Andy, of course you must be alluding to 'DapolDave's missing Celcian Bavarian Astrolabe'! (Ummm... do I get a prize for four relevant alliterations, and in descending alphabetical order too?) Tee-hee...

      I'm happy with the blue in the vanilla setting and find it marginally more relaxing than RMWeb blue
