trisonic Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just to be different, I'm shortly off to bed (after the usual final wotsit). St. Paddys today (which is big over here - about half NYC Cops still consider themselves Irish). Tomorrow it may reach a balmy 70f (sounds a lot better than 21C, sorry can't abide centigrade for Weather only for science). Probably snow again next week. Iodide selling out on the West Coast.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 17, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'd quite like to go ANYWHERE in Summer. Family commitments don't permit. After a few unfortunate experiences taking family (other than wife, child (or dog)) I said I'd rather not go on holiday. I wonder what Matthew will be writing about me in a few years!

DDolfelin Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not that it's important in the overview, but the F1 season seems to be threatened bit by bit. ... and Manama's main export is Postage Stamps, most of which never go anywhere near a letter.

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted March 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's an absolute cracker of a clip Gordon. I always loved the Muppets and that one made me laugh outloud. Somedays you really feel like the guy in the middle, just want to do something a bit different and freestyle. Morning All, The last couple of days I seem to have spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out which laptop 'puter to buy. I've had 15+ years of being handed a new one every 2 or 3 years and not having to think about it. With the end of gainful employment in sight I have to go out and buy my own! How unreasonable. Have a good one. Cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew has this. It has survived life in a student's room. He doesn't take it to campus though. He has a Samsung NC10 for that. Aditi has the older i5 processor fitted version of the Sony laptop. She has taken it out and about but has used it plugged in so I've no way of knowing how good the battery life is for the Sony laptops. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had 15+ years of being handed a new one every 2 or 3 years and not having to think about it. With the end of gainful employment in sight I have to go out and buy my own! How unreasonable. Having suffered with Vista for a year, I abandoned ship and bought an iMac, and a year later, a MacBook Pro. I can't recommend it highly enough, battery life is excellent, and it foes everything I ask it to (unlike the Vista machine I used). I know the Apple environment isn't to everyone's taste, and that their equipment is double the price of a similar PC but I think the lifespan is likely to be double that of a PC, from my recent experience. As usual, no connection other than as a satisfied user. Welcome along to the two new ERs too. And who are you calling an old fogey Gordon?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Is it me, but everytime I hear the news from Bahrain and Manama, I keep bursting into song............

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted March 17, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2011 Afternoon All Welcome newbies. I've got ten minutes at the end of computer based training, so grabbing the opportunity to say hello to everybody. Dull here but at least not too cold. I've caught up on the drivel informed discussion now, and hope to be visiting a bit more often than I have been doing of late.

Guest Max Stafford Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 It was wet and murky up here again this morning and although there are many, many people currently in much less enviable positions in the world today I did find it a bit tedious. Like I say much worse is afoot elsewhere but we've had virtually continuous rain up here since the beginning of January and there's standing water and mud all over the shop. It's a bit dispiriting at times slipping and sliding through it if you're walking or running. That said, it's not a patch on what those poor folk in Japan are having to cope with so let's be grateful for small mercies. In any case, hazy sunshine is breaking through now. Hell, this posting is starting to sound like something from Tom Lehrer...! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Anyone watching the cricket? England are doing their usual thing and making us sweat.... 243 in their innings and WI are now 91/3. Fingers crossed.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Not watching it but keeping a close eye on the live text on BBC website. No chance of England giving us a nice quiet easy win, is there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Max Stafford Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I'm pushed to remember a time when we weren't at war now. Still, may those tasked get the job done quickly and decisively and get home safely. Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixoh8sixoh Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 You must be happy (relieved?) now! I was! Just watched the highlights. Some spectacularly stupid throwing away of wickets from both sides, and some amazing hitting from the West Indian batsmen. Couple of superb catches and some brilliant bowling. Definitely edge of the seat stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Morning All, It is a rather grey day here - very overcast and not looking too optimistic for brightening up. Oh well! Have a good day everybody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted March 18, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 18, 2011 Morning all... Weather does look as if it could yet go any way. It's not exactly cold, however, and predicted to be fairly mild for the next several days as well. We may be going to the Surrealist exhibition which is currently taking place in Frankfurt tomorrow. Have a good Friday all! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 70f in Gotham City is expected today. Yesterday I sat on the bench in our garden with the dog enjoying the "just right" breezes and pondering the work to get the garden straight........ending up sitting out there for an hour, not a cloud in the sky.
