Now if all the money spent (car costs, salaries, entry fees, hotel bills, hot dogs - literally EVERYTHING) went instead to Cancer Research..... Is that a Rant? Well at least that obnoxious little Big Tw@t didn't win....... In fact it contributes millions of pounds to the British economy. Most of the teams are British based and employ a few thousand (mostly highly paid) people. The spectators spend millions on hotels and ticket sales receipts are also in the £millions.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7 Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I purchased my birthday presents, from me, too me. Not items that run on two strips of metal but too close to mention here. I arrived home and had lunch just before the GP started. Unlike most GP's it was quite interesting, not the usual parade with the one at the front declared the winner. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, you're going to have to narrow that down a smidgen... 😉 Seriously, I can think of several drivers who'd fit that description - including the one who won it. And that's based on informed knowledge, including from members of pitcrew/engineering team. I know many members of RMW have their favourites and have those they love to hate. As I will not discuss what was said in confidence it can make posting thoughts on F1 difficult, so I tend not to comment on particular drivers/teams. But from my (admittedly limited) knowledge of sports/TV stars, a difference between a public persona and the 'real' character is the norm rather than the exception. And we're talking big differences - as in il D being 'papped' scoffing battery eggs, CFs and Co-Op LDC at a Maccy Ds... 3 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium The White Rabbit Posted July 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7 Yahoo! Ahem... I'll say that again... Yahoo! The reason for such enthusiasm is ... I finally fixed that issue with Paint Shop Pro that's been bugging me for weeks. For some weird reason, accessing the programme via the desktop shortcut only displayed some options. When I went in via the menu, I had a full range of options. One of which enabled me to tell the system a rectangle should be a (******-ing) rectangle, not a curved picture frame... still no idea why it changed itself but at least I know now what to keep an eye on. This morning's G-word was cut short by a rainstorm, it started out from a clear blue sky - rather a neat trick? - and carried on for ten minutes until the evidence caught up with it and a grey cloud loomed overhead. Go figure as they say... Various internal pottering/odd jobs done since. An afternoon mostly of reading, with dining en Italie. So I haven't been wearing a white shirt! And doing more than the average amount of washing up... 12 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PupCam Posted July 7 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7 (edited) Evening First of all; happy birthday to @PhilJ W. Little to report as I too have had a CBA sort of day. I did sort out a few Myford bits and bobs this morning and then (unusually) watched the entire GP. Again unusually, I thought it was an excellent race. Such a shame that the initial potential British 1,2 & 3 on the podium was dashed and particularly bearing in mind who slipped in. As to the winner? Well I thought that was good given the various factors to be considered. No chugs, bimbles or thrashes at the moment due to not being able to get a crash helmet on my bonce. Oh well, never mind.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Just arisen from some eyelid inspection so dinner will be a bit late this evening.

Erichill16 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 7 hours ago, polybear said: Not some of the BiL's carp, surely? Sort of, they were old carcasses from a shop refurbishment in the 1990’s which became redundant about 10 years ago. Swmbo had ‘reserved’ them for him but he didn’t want them so been stuck in my garage for some time. Its the carpet that’s been rolled up for 20years that’s more frustrating. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erichill16 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 4 hours ago, Ozexpatriate said: Windows or tablet/telephone? Paste buffers on mobile devices can be non-intuitive. Do you use the "Link" function? Looks like the chain link on the top of the edit bar (between strike-though and quotes): You paste the link in the URL box and include whatever text you want. I find it helpful - particularly since it gives people some clue about what they might be clicking on. I often avoid links where I have no idea where they will lead. Sometimes the Windows paste buffer gets 'stuck'. Clearing it can help. Sometimes you need to close the application where the old text was copied. Thanks for that (and @polybear), I’ll try both. Should have mentioned it in my original post but I almost always use my iPad or iPhone when on RMWeb but don’t know if that would make a difference to your responses. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted July 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7 @Erichill16 I also find I can't copy and paste a link (win10, lappy, Edge) if copied in Edge, but if I have another browser open, Chrome in this case, and copy the link in that I can then paste it in Edge.

I (almost) always use Windows+Chrome to view RMweb. I find the copy/paste function in Android much less obvious than Windows - even with Android+Chrome. 9 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
