I have sensitive skin, not a fan of wet shaving, and my face has never got on with a dry electric shaver. I train one that took lotion, which was expensive, and not good.

As unless it’s a must I never close shave. What I do is use a beard trimmer, and a cut through.

Nothing can beat a cut throat for closeness and ease of getting rid of awkward hair patches  that shift direction etc. Also best for trimming straight lines, and doesn’t give you a rash once you can use one.

Both the same geeza ain’t they. Just a different frock.

He may well be one for all we know.

It was a friendly affair Ed. Never seen so many people in one place.

I recall someone reporting about 300k turned out in St George’s Plaza/square, and about another 200k line the route from Anfield to the city Center.

It was a great day. About 10am me and the wife decided we would attend, so went and collected the d the kids from school (cough fambo emergency), and headed into town.

The atmosphere was amazing, alot of blues was out joining in too. We had 4 kids then, and in hindsight taking an almost 4 year old wasnt the greatest idea. Especially towards the end. When it got very busy.

This is why you should always take photos and especially videos in the highest quality you can.

Ive got digital photos from 2005 when Liverpool brought their 5th European cup through the city (we don’t talk about it much lol), anyhow, the pictures today, are worse than awful, I took them on I think a Sony Walkman phone.

If they wasn’t of that day, and my only record, they would be binned.

People for the last few years have mocked smart phones for being able to record in 4k, with there being any real way to watch it. Be a use of my past experience  above, I know in 20 years, a 4k video will still look good. At least watchable, by whatever the standard is then probably 16k. If I chose 720p/1080,it would look rather rough.

One of my photos from 2005. Should of remembered the camera.

I don’t e en have a dvd drive in a single PC, haven’t for almost ten years, so I’m a little out The loop, but would windows movie maker make a simple photo dvd.

@drezha – I sort of cheated, you can’t directly embed from Gphotos.

You need to copy the url link, via the share tab. Then paste that in to this site, and it spits out an embed code.

So you was actually right. But it’s easily fixed.  :good:

I never see the harm in having my reg online. Given that it’s on show 24h a day etc.

Ive had plates stolen before, and I he car they was placed on sadly ended up killing a man that plays he stolen car crashed into near Chester if I recall.

With right app you could check if my mot and tax is upto date.  It is. But a car Vx loaned me the other month I checked and it wasn’t taxed!

The app is very useful if you have parking issues. We have a small carpark on the mountain, an old train station that served the lead mines. It just about services our few houses. However from time to time, people from the village will dump untaxed or mot’d cars, to hide/store them, as we don’t have the room, after a week or so they get reported by our Australian resident and they get towed.

Also a great app when shopping for second hand cars. Which I’m about to undertake for my girl. Very cheap and fast way to check a cars status on the fly.

[The Duke]

Can you not? Not something I’ve done in a while. I use to do it though there legacy page, picasa.

I just put a link to a pic these days, so I misses the non embed thing.

 

Update-embeded from Google photos

 

Second update, attempt to embed an old mm album. Also works.

But it’s got Korean code in it Bob so it has to be them. Lol. It seems you have a suspicious mind too.

For me it’s always in the timing, I don’t believe in coincidences. Not when it comes to events like this. It screams ‘fails flag event’. The US love them.

[The Duke]

That’s around the PS2 time. Early to mid 2000s maybe 4/5. I’d was on my first pc, it was no gamer. A p4 3.0ghz box from PC world.

 

[The Duke]

The radio just said North Korea is now the prime suspect.

Coincidence? A suspicious mind could possibly think someone may be starting to write a narrative.

[The Duke]

Was that on the PS2? If so, my original PS2 died halfway though that game. I jumped in the car, straight to the local second hand trade in computer shop, (it’s gone now), and grabbed a second had PS2 for about £100 just to continue on.

That and tiger woods golf was a real time killer. Every night we would play TW for hours.

And people think your mad when you say the world is controlled by a small amount of people.

There is a thin layer of people above the political puppet show.

[The Duke]

PFi us just privatisation under another name. The last election when labour was saying the tories are going to sell off the NHS bugged the shit out of me, give new labour had already sold most of it.

All the NHS seems to be is a a few people that give money to the private sector now.

Maybe one party should come clean, tell the people the real state of the NHS in layman terms, and promise to bring it back into public ownership, or at least pen a 10 – 20 plan to return it to.

The investment would need to be huge, but these PFi setups are ridiculous, I. I some cases a hospital is costing 5-10x over its finance period what it would of cost to build themselves. . It’s been along time since I looked into it, but it doesn’t take a genius to know the politicians (tories) that first drafted this, must of been on a back hander (future promise), and the labour bods that executed it must of been getting some rather nice benefited out of selling the NHS  under the table.

If we want an NHS it needs to be fully owned and managed, otherwise we may as well privatise the lot, pay insurance, and let the market govern it.

Daily rant over. For now!  :yahoo:

My wife said she read on the BBC site that they was reporting there is a chance of pacemakers stopping because of this.

I told her to ignore any tech news, rumours or theories on the MSM. Made me chuckle thinking of an xp pc in your chest. Actually I couldn’t think of much worse.

‘are you OK sir? Yes yes, just my Pacemaker blue screening aging, I’ll be fine in a moment’.

Would it not be easier (in the long run) too fire up gimp, and as you copy each section over, past it onto a transparent layer.

Then you can build as many variants as you want by just altering and re saving as another layer.

Gimp is the cheapest, or graphic that free old version of photo shop abode released a couple of years back. Old but would work. Or if you want somthing photo shop like on a budget, (that isn’t gimp) you could try Affinity photo, iirc it’s about £40, but gimp is free of course.

And of your not endocranated into the ways of Adobe, I’d jump straight into gimp. The learning curve is pretty much the same, they just do things slightly different, so using the one you didn’t learn on can be frustrating, as it so similar, but not the same.

To me It defo sounds like a program with layers, is defo what you need.

Simple to do. To keep the same scale, first copy /paste the original onto gimp, then basically trace each part over as a new layer, then remove the origanal layer and save. Done merge. Then you can simply swap out and change any layer at will.

[The Duke]

Or Google photos. If you don’t want your real name attched to the photos, open a new account just for your share photos. You have a 15gb storage, but any pictures under 16mp don’t count towards your allowance, so it’s basically unlimited.

I like Flickr too that has 1Tb allowance , never liked photo bucket, never used it, but when people post from it I always find it slow to view.

An outsider is Mega, 50gb limited so you can can go mad and share 16mp pics for the rest of your life on any of the platforms.

a good old subvert US lead coup is probably on cards. I love a good thriller.
