  1. The wipers look particularly good.
  2. There's no ticket in the window - clamp it..!
  3. Garden Railways - do it now - quick, before the rain comes back....
  4. Don't imagine that I actually know anything. I vaguely remember that there was a clashing issue that prompted his tests of the various free systems available, but, apart from the MSE MWB combination being the best result, I can't remember much else. This is from a couple of years ago, but his opinions are unchanged today. http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/which-anti-virus-my-findings.4314/
  5. It's those bloody Greeks again. My tame geek used to recommend AVG, but now says MSE + Malwarebytes is still the tops of the free ones..
  6. Possibly a mixing problem - give 'em a real good shake. You could always matt varnish the shiny ones. Transfers will always be better on a glossy finish anyway and then the whole thing matted afterwards - you'll see the carrier film if you apply transfers to a matt finish.
  7. I run Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes (free version) in Vista as a result of advice from a highly-experienced geek friend. He did copious testing with various virus samples and decided that they were the best - and they don't conflict with each other, so you can run both. I've had no real trouble since. With the free Malwarebytes you do have to remember to update it now and then and it needs to start the internal scan manually as well, to get an auto-scan requires the payed version. I would point out that my geek is generally anti-Microsoft and was almost annoyed when it did so well in his tests.
  8. Possibly we should have had this - - instead of Jedward. Though, if you really want a coffee at Ballybrophy these days then you might need to bring a flask. Lambe's and Phillips's are long gone.. My own pictures of the centre of the Universe - https://picasaweb.google.com/105618325540295927305/Ballybrophy# - I have a few more that I'll stick up at some point..
  9. We have a lot of these signs over here and I do get the urge to produce a more suitable pictogram for the sign...
  10. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that. I once repainted an isolated urban bird-hide which was covered in graffiti, most of which was similar rubbish, but there was one very good bit that I painted round. I was heavily criticised for not obliterating that bit as well, but there was no new graffiti for most of a year afterwards. I'm sure that if I'd painted it all out, then it would have restarted straight away. I like to feel that I was in tune with Banksy before I'd even heard of him..
  11. Forget the loft - get into the cellar - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-12820354
  12. Are you going to control it all with the two Amigas?..
  13. Drogba's off - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18152689
  14. If two equal bids arrive, and they are both for the winning value, then the first one takes precedence - hence the suggestion about bidding a little over round figures. Otherwise, to take an extreme example, somebody could have bid €15 two weeks ago and would be out-bid by somebody bidding the same amount today.
  15. I suppose the first bid of €15 won it in the end - it can be worth sticking a few cents on to tip the balance..
  16. Same here and I don't have too much problem..
  17. That's a few years ago, but I don't think it's had much done to it since. they've replaced the track in the station itself and removed the points into the unused siding to the goods shed. It's a very low angle shot and it probably makes it look worse than it is, but there'll be no TGVs through there for a while...
  18. Here's rarely used track near Kleven in Ukraine - one for the landscape enthusisats to have a go at..?
  19. This looking towards Dublin from Ballybrophy - hang on tight! I blame Michael.
  20. The grass in front of it is spot-on.
  21. It was Brazil's Garrincha that kept the dog.
  22. Another one from my All-Time Team. Has anybody else ever caught a dog during a World Cup match?
  23. It was still early - he hadn't had a shave yet..
  24. [video=youtube;zelMbnH-DEE] Socrates will always be in my All-Time Team, and not just for the penalties..
