When I first moved from W7 – W10 I couldn’t get my head around it either. It was when I twigged that it can still use programmes in a PC fashion, but seems designed to integrate more smoothly with apps. Mine is currently split down the middle regarding programmes/apps, but more and more apps are going on there than programmes.
I now think of W10 as a desktop version of my phone/iPad, ( without the touchscreen ) rather than when I thought of the phone/iPads as a mini-desktop.
Hope that makes sense!!?
Actually at the time you posted it was already well over half declared who they were supporting (162 to be exact). However, your point is still valid. We won’t get any firm indicators until after the first round of voting I suspect. But the momentum is currently is with BoJo.
I’d just been watching our recording of today’s Politics Live and was quoting their numbers.
BoJo has been keeping his head down while Trump is in play – I reckon his head will appear over the parapet either on the weekend Political shows or he’ll be preparing for a big presentation come Monday.
While half of the Conservative MP’s have not stated who they are behind, the real pattern will only emerge on Monday when the deadline to declare runs out with all those thinking about going for the top job having to make their mind up along with the new rules providing the optimists with a touch of clarity!!
Similar thing happened to me yesterday morning. I was at the hospital with a friend, and while she was being seen, thought I’d check on the forum using my phone.
I had a similar thing to Bob happen, but I used LastPass to access the site. What I actually accessed was a WordPress page that was offering me background theme options. I backed right out of it, went back in to the site through Chrome, without logging in, and the site was readable but different. Because I don’t access it from the phone very much, I couldn’t definitely say what was different, but it felt wrong. That was about 11.30.
Yeah, there aren’t many 13A plug in ovens left now we were told (and found) as it’s not strictly in compliance with the EU regs,
HERE is a quick explanation about that.
As Ed says, it might be quicker and easier to get a sparks in. It might just be the socket itself, but even if you swapped it out, you’d need a tester to see if that had solved the problem or not!!
Except Trump and his ‘America First’ policy has come out in favour of no-deal and Farage.
No deal =WTO terms; WTO – is that W*nker Trumps Offer???
After a No Deal Brexit can you just imagine the ‘preferential’ terms of that deal??!!
@oldles – that looks like a mis-type. OBD is what Tippon was referring to – it’s a socket under the dashboard of recent (15 years? ) cars, about the size of a double-width SCART plug. You can use it to reset engine lights and fault codes that come up and more. IIRC the acronym stems from On Board Diagnostics.
The only time that MP’s can be even censured for behaviour in the House, is when they seriously insult, abuse or demean each other.
So that would be every PMQ’s in the last three to five years!!!
JCD, it’s available in my area-for a large price!!!
I saw in the article it was £54 for 10Gig a month – top ups available as Rory Cellan-Jones found out on his first live trial today – they used up the allowance on test transmissions!!
A lot could happen between now and then including 5G. My guess is that Three’s offering will do well and the others will start to offer the same services, especially Vodaphone. It’s a game changer that’s for sure.
Just seen HERE on the news, EE has just switched on the first part of their 5G offering with Vodaphone in close pursuit.
PM – it’s in limited areas of Cardiff!!
Big winners – the legal teams on both sides.
I personally know of two medical negligence claims that went through the legal system – one took 5 years iirc, the other definitely took 7 years. In both cases the final amount paid out was 2/3 of the legal costs won by their legal teams!!!
In one of the cases the hospital agreed to 10 out of 11 instances of negligence. The 11th was intent – ie he let the patient’s condition worsen as if she had died his mistakes would not have been discovered and malpractice would not have followed. He even tried to cover up his mistakes when a specialist was brought in to check on his operation procedures by starting the checking operation before the specialist arrived. Despite that the specialist discovered that he had gone too deep into her neck, removed too much tissue and had left stitches inside that were festering!! To this day she has to rotate her neck before swallowing her food as he left her throat mis-aligned.
She got legal assistance for the negligence claim on a no win no fee basis, but in order to get him struck off the BMA register of surgeons she had to ‘front’ £15000 for someone to take the case as you do not get legal aid to pursue that sort of case. As a result of this she could not afford to take him on at the BMA and he is still practising and operating to this day.
He was probably being careful not to commit contempt of Court.
If he’s on duty when/if this hits court they’re in for a problem. If you’ve ever seen an attorney at work you’d appreciate why they are paid the big bucks, you hear them after a trial success articulating the problems they overcame, this one looked like a freshman out of Legal Aid, no confidence in his speech or posture at all. However the “Businessman” that started it looked like a Market Trader in a borrowed jacket that didn’t like ties!!
Comment: I’ve just been looking on the BBC News site to find the clip, but it went out on the 6 o’clock News and isn’t showing there.
THIS clip shows the same guys, but he’s performing better, maybe because he’s reading a script off his phone instead of the impromptu, unrehearsed version first broadcast!!
Edited to tidy up grammar.
I wish I had known about this, I would have happily contributed a couple of quid to the crowd funding of his prosecution.
If I had contributed to the crowdfunding, I would be asking for my money back after hearing the “Private Prosecution Lead Attorney” making the case for going ahead on the news!! More errrs and umms and split sentences than a sink estate!
Thanks JCD. The car will be a kind of belated present for myself. If the one I looked hasn’t gone in a few weeks I expect a call from the salesman. They want £15k. To me it’s a £13.5k car at best.
One of the B Class that I was looking at earlier was £19995, I was tempted but looked elsewhere, 4 weeks later the exact same car was down to £18500. ( one of the benefits of the sales details quoting the reg – you can follow the market!!)
IMO the 2 Litre OHC Mk.1 Granadas were a much better car than the 3Litre engined ones. This thread is reviving some memories!
You’re not wrong – that engine powered quite a few cars. I’m not sure whether it was basically the same engine in all models and variants, ( I’ve just checked HERE and it says the following ) :-
You’re likely to find a Pinto ( 2 Litre OHC ) in Mk3 / Mk4 / Mk5 Cortinas, Capris, Mk1 / Mk2 Escorts, Granadas and Transits. All engines have a rear-bowl sump with the RS2000s being alloy.
My mate used one of the RS2000’s in a speed boat for water ski-ing, taking the power out to the prop via a z-drive. It was insane!!
I did have an early ( pre-facelift ) L reg Capri GT but it only had the V4 engine.☹?
Few years to go yet Dave!
And may they be good ones. Have a great day – will the next Swift be a belated present to yourself??
They have now tottered back to their Conservative Association without a qualm as they successfully got rid of May and can now help select the next PM. Bottom line, the EU results are indicative of mood, and are not a General Election forecast.
Agreed – just as long as your name isn’t Alastair Campbell!! Have you seen what Labour have done to him for voting LibDems in the EU election?? Outrageous hypocrisy on Jeremy Corbyn’s part, taking into account his voting history as a back-bencher!!
The joy of Malta was always its people. We loved them and they ( for real ) loved us Brits. It made for a welcome change when the hand that was proffered was to help you on or off the bus/boat/whatever wasn’t expecting a tip in return as per many of the Canaries and Greek Isles etc…..
One of the waiters at our resort offered to take our son horse riding on the beach with his children. We were initially wondering what ulterior motive he may have had – after all you don’t just hand your child over to a ‘stranger’ – but he put our mind to rest when he said if we were concerned, we could drop him off at their house. He went on to say that there was very little trouble from ‘dodgy folk’ as if anything looked likely to occur the men from the village gathered to have a word with the offender and that was the end of that.
The good old days!!
The local garage had one from one of the poorer parts of Europe where spare parts were very expensive.
That perspective brings Malta to mind for me. I first went there in 1989 and we were ferried from the airport to the house we were staying in by a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac of mid 60’s vintage. I went on to see, during my stay, Triumph Heralds, Hillman Imps and Minxes, Rover 90’s 110’s 2000’s, Morris Minors, Ford Populars of both the saloon and upright variety, the list just carried on of a variety of cars ( mostly British ) from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Also the local buses had to be seen to be believed.
This was brought about by the high price of importing spares to an island creating a ‘make it and fit it’ industry that manufactured everything from pistons to steering and suspension parts, which survived for a great number of years until Malta wanted to join Europe and all cars had to meet emission and safety standards, so an MoT test meant a lot of vehicles still on the road immediately became non-roadworthy.
There is a part of me that says the roads became safer, but a bigger part of me missed all those wonderful vehicles and the industry that died along with them.
The mk1 KA is well known for sill rot I would check around the filler flap as well as that is another known weak spot but at its age if that sill attention has only just surfaced its done really well for a ka of its age.
We had a good bit done 2 years ago, this is just precautionary – it’s the usual, underneath the plastic fascia where the water collects!!
It’s been a really good car for the wife – she says if her car was a horse, it would be a shire horse, not fast, not pretty, just functional and fit for purpose – her ‘point and shoot’ car as she calls it.
