  1. Too late...
  2. Somebody has to keep an eye on you...
  3. A post should appear here about the next one shortly.
  4. I think you can edit your own titles - pop your cursor over it and see if you get a box come up with instructions.
  5. I think they mean a near miss as opposed to a distant miss.
  6. This could have been exciting... https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2019/0121/1024637-submarine-ferry-irish-sea/
  7. I'm not that easily fooled. That's the inside of their teapot.
  8. The crane..!
  9. I worked with a chap who looked remarkably like him - to the point where I'm not sure that I can remember his real name...
  10. Vulcans, Valiants and Victors were painted white in the early days, as 'flash-protection' from the thermonuclear explosions they might have ended up delivering - so, if you happen to be flying in a white plane when Trump or Putin finally get fed up, you have a slightly higher chance of surviving for a few seconds longer.
  11. Excellent! I thought I could see the Wrekin there for a second...
  12. 8mm square? The stuff used as expansion strips for laminate flooring tend to be a little bit bigger. But, it's probably worth asking, if you have a local installer.. https://hardwoodfloors.uk.com/strips-skirting/cork-expansion-strip
  13. The last few planes I've been on, all I saw of the outside was a bit round the door and the top of a wing through the window.
  14. Is that a sleeping bag in the bottom picture? Dedication!
  15. This is mostly white, a long stripe and a few short ones...
  16. For those interested, the conversion kit is around $700 - $900. Though a DIY version can be achieved for a lot less, they say... http://thequirkyglobe.blogspot.com/2011/06/old-fashioned-typewriter-connects-to-pc.html
  17. You can just make out the conveyor in the undated photo at the bottom here - https://jetstream.gsi.ie/iwdds/delivery/GSI_Transfer/Geoheritage/LS019_Lisduff_Quarry.pdf
  18. I'm sure that I remember a conveyor across the road at Lisduff, but there's no sign of it now.
  19. No way are you going to be able to type at that speed!
  20. http://quarry.ie/gallery/
  21. I'm in a similar position to you, probably 80% of my phone calls (outbound) are international. I have a 'deal' from many years ago, no longer available to new entrants, and they keep trying to tempt me off it with speeds that I don't need, without mentioning the loss of the 'free' international calls. My broadband is laughably slow, apparently, but is quite adequate for me - and I do remember dial-up...
  22. Someone I know was recently complaining about being in an impending situation which would mean that they would be offline for nearly two days. I suggested that they might be alright and that I had once been offline for nearly fifty years.
  23. Or control the heating via a remote controlled socket adaptor. You could turn it on from the house before you even venture outside. They will usually work up to about 25/30 metres. You could have a light on with it, so that you get a 'signal' that the switch has actually operated (or, if you turn it on by accident).
