I received my fans this morning, with a handsome apology from box.co and Amazon.

I'm out.“Fraped” explained:
So “Photofraped” must refer to photos being edited on FB without permission. Don’t know where the ‘h’ came from though: I actually typed “photofraphed“.
Sometimes my unconscious takes over…
I may be schizophrenic, but we can never all agree about that at the same time. We are going for a lie down now.

I'm out.That is a great spot, Ed. I will be keeping an eye on that.
I have recently taken out a subscription to “Current Archaeology” Magazine, check it out here:
Some great history in there, although my own preference is Prehistory, I find that my interest in all history is becoming deeper as I age. Probably says a lot about my advancing years!

I'm out.Well it was a box.co.uk error, they admitted it. I am to take back the SSD with the PDF label on their email, to a local shop. Bit of an imposition, but they are sending my fans Next Day. I had already written to the guy in Ruthin, just in case he or I have problems. Photofraphed the wreckage and both labels before I boxed it up. (No pun intended)

I'm out.Yes but in a different way: just text for only a few posts. Nolan, if you are reading this, try posting your last again?

I'm out.I took a look at daughter’s little Mazda, she was here just now, it often carries 3 or 4 female teachers.
I see what you mean! All 4 door handles and the boot handle, scratched. Daughter: “It’s just a car, dad!”
Sums it up, doesn’t it? ?? Told her she needs to wear gloves before getting in and out of mine. Just laughed.
An old mate back in Notts on FB, having just spent a fortune on his wife’s outfit for his daughter’s (2nd.) wedding: “Good job we love ’em, isn’t it?”

I'm out.The Mr. Sinnett who should have received it is well north of you, Nolan, in Haulfryn, Ruthin. My Uncle Jack’s wife came from there a long time ago, she was a Davies.
I tracked down the B&Q parcel: I ordered it for Home Delivery, Parcel Force took it to the local B&Q store. The store has not notified me it was there, but the B&Q chatline guy checked for me. So a Mr Sinnett has my fans (maybe…) and I have his SSD. And he is ex-directory, like me.
I don’t believe it’s a Hermes mistake, I think it’s an error on the part of box.co – their details are on the inner parcel address, also on the outer. Hermes just delivered to the address they had on the outer address panel. Sorting error at box. They will probably blame the computer…

I'm out.Fuel filler cap – yes, I have had the Tucson since April and I still sometimes drive up to the wrong side of the pump. ?? The C-Max was on the offside or driver side, Tucson is on the nearside. I also sometimes ‘plip’ open the doors and put the keys in my pocket, then look for a Start button that isn’t there! The Tucson key folds out of the handle which contains the “plipper”.
At least all the controls are on the same side and the main beam works the same way, by flicking the stalk away from the driver.
? Steve, who are all these ring-laden women fumbling around your paintwork? ?
On second thoughts, maybe we don’t need to know…. ??

I'm out.Wood chip all over our bungalow lounge, hate the stuff. When the landlord was finally forced by our old MP and Environmental Housing to fit GCHeating, the big, useless, ancient Eco7 heaters had to go. Landlord just removed them and left big patches of old plaster. I got so fed up with trying to match it, spoke to a decorator mate up the road who occasionally takes me up in his microlight (another story!) and he gave me a good price on decorating the lounge. Then an even better price on the whole bungalow, which we had done whilst away on a Danube Cruise. Now I have moved the TV down the wall to a new shelf and removed the wall mount, I have holes to fill and paint to apply. Some of the wood chip is going to have to be repaired.
I have some great mates here in the village. This guy has a large local deco business and a huge house about 500 yards up the road, in beautiful country and a fair few acres. First spoke to him when I first came here, he is ex-RAF and me ex-AAC, we got on. Took me up in the microlight, then SWMBO, who loved it. This is my lady, who had helicopter lessons 21 years ago for her 50th birthday, now wants a balloon flight and a Glider flight. Not your everyday little old lady, you would not suspect how truly bonkers she is. ???

I'm out.Dwynne I have two links to get rid of Truekey:
-that’s ghacks, and as you guessed, they say it was probably inserted by not unchecking an Adobe Flash download or update.
This is the genuine, horse’s mouth, Intel link, Intel will not allow the use of tinyurl, so a long link:
SECOND EDIT: then there is removing Preview Panes:
Good luck!

I'm out.My Leccy No.2 gson supports Dave‘s last post:
” IIRC on the ground floor it’s down from the ceiling and on upper floors it’s up from the skirting (allows you to have the main wiring runs in the ceiling). ”
Gson was horrified at sockets on the lighting circuit – he has recently qualified and is waiting to go through his Section 18 in February, apparently the latest Reg’s.
Just realised: I have one gson a network engineer and another a qualified Leccy, a gdaughter a chef and amazing cook. I feel blessed, but don’t suppose the last gdaughter wants to be an electric vehicle technician. Either an Astronaut, famous artist or a ballerina, she says. You gotta look to the future!

I'm out.Oh wow, Ed, do I know that feeling! –
” …harder still if you have resisted and wasted twenty minutes trying to figure it out all by yourself with SWMBO suggesting that you go and ask! ”
Difference in our case being that my OH is so knowledgeable about a solution to a problem after it has happened! ???

I'm out.I might have had the best adjustment/adaptation process between UK & European driving. Learned and passed in the Army in the UK, after driving in the Middle East and Far East (driving various LH and RH vehicles) , posted to BAOR for a total of 8 years with tours of NI and UK courses. In Germany and other European countries, I had a mix of LH and RH drive personal cars, driving on the right of course (well 95% of the time ?)
Apart from the occasional hiccup, driving in UK and on the continent, became a seamless process, regardless of the country or the vehicle. I became adroit at changing gear with either hand: I just took a few seconds after getting (usually) into the driver’s seat, to mentally adjust. After leaving germany, didn’t drive on the ‘wrong’ side again until I went to Canada and hired a car. Found myself changing gear the other way and thinking in Km’s, as soon as I drove the hired car first time. A bit like riding a bike.
Now a funny, but true story: some years ago, a mate who has the cogitative process of a drunken Rhino, wanted to buy a trailer to tow a small car and/or 2 motorbikes. He was gobsmacked by the prices of UK trailers at the size he wanted, so I told him that I had heard that it may be cheaper in Germany or France, even allowing for cost of fuel. He thought about that, then stunned myself and another mate with this:
“But won’t trailers there be Left Hand Drive?”
Absolutely true, we were almost hysterical with laughter, it was also the way he said it, perfectly serious.

I'm out.Moving between Imperial and metric, IMO, makes the brain flexible. I can still work out miles to km, inches, feet and yards to cm and metres, gallons to litres. Had to be able to do that in Germany.
Then I ask myself, why, nowadays? Time to metricate the UK altogether, I think.
But I don’t want to drive on the right! When I came back home on leave after a long spell driving LHD vehicles in Germany, my SIL asked me to take her to Mansfield one day. I drove out of their estate and straight into oncoming traffic, on the wrong side of the road. SIL had 7 children, but I don’t think she ever screamed like that before. ? Being me, I calmly avoided the traffic, settled for the correct lane and asked her why she was making so much noise. Every time since then, if I have driven her, she has asked if I am going to try to kill her again. I don’t think she trusts me, ?but my brother hasn’t driven for years and had a stroke recently.

I'm out.Definitely snappier!
I meant to comment at the time when you put in BBC links: that was a good move Lee.

I'm out.I read that whole interesting link, Ed. Specifically targetted, high-end Tech companies, leaving “Sleepers” behind to be woken and operated at the attacker’s leisure. Scary, actually. Wonder if the (implied) Chinese connection is true? Whoever it is, they are not amateurs.

I'm out.Well it hasn’t been a bad ride so far Lee, kept us all together after MM hit the buffers. You did us proud, as that Yorky from Plusnet says!

I'm out.Yes those girls really went for it in every game under Mark Sampson’s coaching, they ran to him after every goal. It was obvious that they listened to him when you saw them at team talks, in the couple of extra time games, they were concentrating on his words. If that isn’t coaching ability and motivation, I don’t know what is. It would be ironic if he wound up coaching a competitor nation’s team, male or female.
The Ladies team always seemed to go with much more forward play than the men’s under Southgate and previous managers. Pass back or across 3 times for every forward movement, try to tap-tap it into the box, straight into a packed defence. Plenty of possession, very little end product, even less entertainment value. This from players who go forward every game in the Premiership at 100 mph. Italian-style possession is not our normal game.
