Don't you store them locally on your hard drive? 

 

 Clearly not.

I just created another folder, called it archive and there's emails from several years ago in there, I've been with BT for over a decade and find them pretty good, a heck of a lot better than tiscali anyway.

Listen up Good People!

Rick mentioned party for page 10000.

Well I tried to organise and informal get together for any ERs who want to attend for earlier this year. Cov8d stopped that.. so

 

Perhaps a get together in 2021 could be organised.

 

Dates and venue will be set later (Derby was set to be a venue this year..anyone else have a suggestion of location?)

 

Let me know youŕ ideas...pleaae..

 

Baz

Jersey?

[New Haven Neil]

Fraggle Rock?

 

Evening folks, norra lot to report today, however I did forget to mention Mrs NHN came home with the 'Shot of the Day' trophy from the field archery club shoot yesterday, and a personal best score.  Well chuffed.  This works like brownie points while the smug glow around her lasts!

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Congratulations to Mrs. NHN on her trophy. I think that the page 10,000 celebration will have to be a virtual one but at least we will be socially distanced. Now to tackle Farcebook, be back later.

I’m a relative newby here but for what it’s worth I think Baz’s suggestion of Derby is a good one. It’s late enough in the calendar year for us to think covid-19 will not be an issue but any later and the summer will be upon us and the next largish exhibition will be in the Autumn. 

I think Derby is a good venue as some people will come by train and if ‘we’ pick a venue that’s out of town and the exhibition is also out of town a lot of travelling may be involed for those  using public transport.

Would be interested in coming anyway, I’d like to put faces to some of the names.

Oooh it's 9003 - Meld, my favourite Deltic.

 

Although I'm a kettle man really, the sound of a Deltic revving up under an overall roofed station (preferably Newcastle Central, but York would do) is something magical to be savoured.  Don't suppose I will ever experience it again, but I used to love sitting on the end of Platform 10 listening to one departing southbound.

I know that she's championship accurate but over some hundreds of miles, some over water, to hit a small moving target is asking a bit much for anyone with a bow and arrow

[Erichill16]

With the talk of alien invasion i was tempted by this book i saw today. I wonder if any ERs look like these guys!

Travel to and from the lovely IOM is rather difficult at present!

 

From is easy.....back, less so!

Evening all.  Not a lot of note today.  SWMBO hasn't had the best one and has retired to bed early.  She still spends too long for her own good listening to and then analysing the virus statistics and various commentator's prophesies of doom.  I still feel trapped, bored and frustrated and am sometimes floundering for ways to offer support which don't inadvertently cause greater anxiety or stress.  

 

I haven't told her about how much busier the House of Fun has recently become.  At times it can be 50 -75% of normal.  Overall probably 30% because inbound commuting to the City is still almost non-existent.  

 

I'll put that all away for the night and hope for some decent kip myself.  

 

Stay well.  

[Barry O]

Thanks to Southern42 (polly) my Avatar if me at Warley.. not doing much demonstrating just talking...  that doesn't happen a lot.....

I have stopped watching the news for similar reasons Gwiver, I know it's not easy and everybody is different. I am also on the vulnerable list with Asthma and now other things as well.

Evening All,

Been to Skipton today for some gluten free fish and chips. Except for a visit to see my mum in Newark in July this is the first time I’ve left Barnsley sine March. The reason for my trip, well it’s my birthday and we had to do something. To tell you the truth I’ve not been looking forward to my birthday but I’ve enjoyed the day more than I thought I would. 
I hope Chris’s journey tomorrow is painless. As for the rest of you I hope you have had a good day as I’ve not managed to read all your reports.
My birthday cake, made by SWMBO is the best GF cake I’ve every had. I’d offer some to HH but I don’t think there will be much left by tomorrow.

Goodnight,

Robert

Is there any reason to leave Barnsley ,the centre of the known universe

I worked there for 10 years and miss the place.

The cake looks rather nice too and Happy Birthday

Birthday greetings Robert

Hot and windy all down the west coast today adding to the fire woes in California.  Not so bad here in GH on the west side of the Cascades but a worry for the firefighters in 36C heat and which is likely to continue for the rest of the week.

Belated Birthday greeting Robert.

 Love the look of that cake, just showed it to the Good Lady to drop a hint, but that fell on stony ground, so will have to go out and BUY ONE tomorrow now.
