Such a pity. Thanks for sharing. 

You learn something new every day, eh Peter?

One day, perhaps you'll even get to grips with using PM rather than public status messaging.

We live in hope!

I've now enabled the Gold access for you on here Peter (no-one had notified me of your subscription). Please message me on my @AY Mod account if you need to get hold of me rather than this old login.

Edited with thanks.

Thanks for sharing, Peter. I was born in 1964, and who could've known that, only 56 years later, I would learn of your geology field trip in that very same auspicious year.

Is there a way of letting Sir Tim Berners-Lee know how many lives he's touched in this way?

I lost my cherry on a field trip, but it was a bit later than 1964, shame that Datsun was never found.

Thank you.  Safari and yes after a chat with Andy Y reset everything but even after yesterday I have had to 'forget password and reenter today.  Only perhaps I have found that when resetting password I do not need my Peter BB name it just goes straight to my in box so I have just clicked on your response.

I have an iMac 2011 vintage that is sometimes especially on email remarkably slow.

Following this reply I ventured onto my content and initially was able to read and tick a response then, about 10-15 minutes ago I found that I could no longer tick a response but still read so looking at my avatar I clicked it to find that '" you do not have permission etc.".

I have re-logged on to add a further comment to this.  All seems to me rather odd and ER is the only blog currently accessible (unless no others have been adding content).  Cheers, Peter

Edit:- Sorry, I meant the 'like' boxes yes, the boxes mentioned below.   Google Chrome ... will look that up.

You mention “ticking a response“. Do you see tick boxes or little icons like a thumbs-up, a heart, a smiley-face, etc.?

Could you try a different browser? I suggest Google Chrome.

Hi Peter, all very sad.

I am fortunate not knowing anyone locally who has caught it.

Cheers, Ade.

Peter,

yes, I see that now. I had replied to your post, but you were both sharing the same concern. I should have quoted your next paragraph. Food sensitivity can be a big problem.

You keep safe and well too.

I like curry.

Thanks Michael, Peter

Thanks but no Peter, I really have no room for it, and I cant get to the controllers and Locos etc. plus I need to put some more stuff in TOPS over the coming days and take the bench apart. We spoke to our Buyer this evening, and she has signed contracts and still been told it could happen in the next 2 weeks, so fingers crossed at this end.

I appreciate your kind offer though mate.

I hope you and Susan are keeping well and very safe.

All the best.

Andy and Dee.

Hi Andy,

Hope it goes well.  The idea was probably OK but in retrospect since, apart from the door to door return home when Adam came back, we have not actually left our property for over three weeks - someone else currently does our shopping.  I am not one of those like Tony and the lad in Cumbria but still qualify under 3 of the items that say self-isolate for 12/52 so perhaps I am pleased that your own circumstances made it not the correct pragmatic response.  Hope all goes well for 'the move' for you and Dee.

Keep safe, keep well, cheers, Susan and Peter.

Thanks Truffy - thankfully I no longer need them as Word and Excel have since both been used to provide the same, howbeit slightly more complicated, and from the other help provided by you and others on here it seems that Pages and Numbers together with Keynote will do an excellent job.  Cheers, Peter

Peter, the MacAir is a very good beast, I got one for my sister in 2013 and she is still happily using it. The Apple UK Refurb store has the Macbook Air with the larger 256Gb SSD at a discount of £200 which means effectively you could get 256Gb SSD for the price of a 128Gb SSD if you wished to go down that route. They do have offers on the version with the smaller SSD too.

With two Thunderbolt (USB-C) ports, you can connect a powered hub and add many more USB ports if you need them. I have done that with my MacBook Pro so I have one direct port to my TimeMachine back-up drive and the other is the hub where I have photo cards, portable storage devices etc connected. The hub I use takes its power from an external transformer so I don't overload the USB power supplies in the laptop.

The first bit is very useful and I like the idea of 256 GB SSD and will go back to the website. The faster 3 - I think that I use a powered USB hub on my iMac and a 3 will still work my USB 1 & 2 but at the lower speed. The responses that you are all providing shows just how good the RM community is. Cheers, Peter

Thanks.  Sounds like the one that had the 'jump in lift' that kept going - can'g remember what it was called.  Went there from Gloucester Royal for a special meeting on DNA 40 plus years ago from an up and coming guy from Leicester - very good evening ... now a Sir and responsible for DNA use in policing etc. - name escapes me at present ... neither of the latter is a good sign.

Sir Alec Jeffreys - Sandy and I met him at our graduation ceremony in 1991- actually in the multi-storey car park - he was receiving an honorary doctorate when we received our BAs. Sandy was also involved in the investigation about a murder and it was the first time that the police suspect couldn't have done it because of the DNA evidence with proof by Alec Jeffreys.

His work also helped prolong Sandy's life as she changed treatments due to a genetic mutation identified by his technique.

Thank you, Sir Alec Jeffreys it was and pleased that his efforts also helped Sandy.  Strange how some people stand out ... the evening was also the first time that I had been to Birmingham, little knowing that many years later I would end up based there in my final job when working for the Red Cross. 

Thank you, Peter.

Yes good point as we do have a fox who visits occasionally  and even rarer a badger.  I have put chicken wire between the support beams and as yet not seen any digging or scratching debris so fingers crossed.

Hi Peter,

I am not sure how it came to be set up as it pre-dates my involvement with the club.  I will try to remember to ask someone in the club who will know!  As to maintaining the charitable status, we have to submit an annual return to the Charities Commission to retain our status.  We also have a number of trustees, of which I am one.   In addition, we submit an annual Gift Aid return to HMRC in order to reclaim part of the members subscriptions.

Cheers, Simon

Thanks Simon, thats a useful start.  Cheers, Peter

Yes Peter, I introduced him, and asked him to join the Club.

Is this considered stalking?
