Just enjoyed a reasonable red with some duck. At home :(. Sounds very much familiar - I live in the Périgord (Dordogne) - duck and red! Love the Périgord and it's food. Passed through again last September. Had a great few weeks there a few years ago, and it calls us back.

Definitely not pointless but this seemed the best thread to mention it in. Yes, very chuffed. Selfie might have to wait a few months until it is released! I was just feeling pleased that my "rooty fisheye" image was doing well in the photo competition. Nice to see a monochrome film image stand...

Now back to work... ;) Have you bought a National Lottery ticket? You might not need to work... :twisted: Steve

Don't you just love banks?: A few years ago the firm I worked for went bust with nothing left to pay my salary nor redundancy payment; there were no other jobs going so I set up on my own and asked the bank if they would tide me over if I got short. An acting manager said head office turned me down ...

There's a bottom shelf at the Co-op?:shock: I thouhgt I'd have seen that as I crawled through to the check out!:lol: Just back from a local market with 3 pheasants and a kilo of mixed game meat for pies/casseroles. That's my sort of shopping. One of the birds is now sat in some red wine and...

Ciara has been kind enough to provide a brand new pool at the rear of the garden that's deep enough for ducks to paddle. Nearly big enough for an RC float plane to use. Some serious amount of water fell yesterday and over last night. It's still raining...... I'm on a coffee break from my workshop...

Dogs, like little kids and horses often get hyper in windy weather. It quietened down a bit overnight but back to a force 8 again this morning. Lost a great chunk of winter flowering heather when a branch took it out, and all the flowers stripped from the mahonia, but otherwise we seem to have ...

Another pointless thread

I know this isn't as pointless as most posts but I didn't want to start a new topic. I rediscovered a K100d I've had for a while and got it working with Eneloops. After spending around 30 minutes messing with the focus adjustment I put the lens (DA35) onto my K-3 and the difference in size and build...

Apparently the Met office thinks giving them names raises aawareness of them and their dangers. Used to be the Met office and Met Eirann who named them. The Dutch KNMI has joined in this year as well. Personally I was happy when the Dutch didn't name them - they didn't seem to affect us as much w...

True, but you can't blame the met Office for that. If they didn't name them the redtops would come up with their own awful names for these things. I feel so sorry for all those affected by the storms. Devastating for all, and no one seems to respond to the problem either before to help stop peoples...

Those are amazing pictures Barrie. The sun actually shone here today. Still really windy, but the sun was good to see. Rain due again soon though. The back garden has finally drained enough we can go out there, and the canal has dropped maybe 20cm, the pumps are doing their job. Meanwhile we hav...

https://www.costco.co.uk/Business-Office-Supplies/Whalen-Metrex-IV-Mesh-Office-Chair/p/254575 I went for a mesh chair rather than the usual leather. It's incredibly comfortable and at less than £100 great value. I can swivel to my desk and then back to the PC as required and it's all very effici...

It looks it. Sadly it isn't on sale in the Netherlands. Amazon.de have it but I don't buy from Amazon. No more progress on my room today, and probably none tomorrow either as I have an appointment at the hospital and who knows how long that will take. In theory it should be over and done with i...

Mesh chairs are definitely a good thing for people with bad backs, according to Mrs. Lubbyman. She has both. There's a mesh back and padded seat (the chair, not Mrs. L :mrgreen:.). Getting the chair has made sitting at a desk comfortable for the first time for years. The problem round here is findi...

The last time I was in M&S the men’s clothing section had been reduced to a small corner at the back of the first floor, the rest given over to women’s underwear which you have to navigate first - shades of a Father Ted episode!

I love Only Connect. Rarely manage an answer but I do enjoy it. Sorry about the old car but it sounds like the new one will meet all your needs - I had to look it up as I'd never heard of it. I see there is a C4 Spacetourer and a minibus sized Spacetourer just to confuse me. I'd hoped to head ...
