    The onset of senility

    Make a song and dance about it - compliment Lidl (or was it Aldi) for compensating you for a mistake made by Aldi (or was it Lidl). Surely they can milk that for some good publicity.... and you get some more free biccies.....

    A new telephone and broadband scam?

    Got one this morning, riding on the back of the leakLeak. Told me that someone else was using my broadband from a different address. Messed him around for about fifteen minutes - rebooting computer, acting confused "I only use it for internet banking as I dont really understand the inter web"...

    Should potatoes grow this large?

    I feel for you - our soil is sandy so the drought was a real pain. Small shallot crop, couldnt get the onions or leeks started on time. Mice nibbled the beetroots (probably for water). Carrots were small, the sweetcorn did not fill out properly...... I did get a reasonable tattie yield, and...

    Should potatoes grow this large?

    Sarpo Mira - and it is blight resistant. The tomatoes next to the potatoes had a bad attack of blight starting last weekend. The potato plants were mostly clear of the blight, but I decided it was time to tidy up.

    Should potatoes grow this large?

    Just over 36 ounces..... Yeah, not even close to the record - but the largest that I have grown and I was not even trying.

    Driveway gate just the right length to latch to garage when open? This would make a long dog-proof fence to the front (pedestrian?) gate..... Depends on the rest of your plot layout.

    Looking for Work - North West

    Quote Java is (imho) slightly more disciplined than python, and maybe a better bet to start with. The development tools are free (Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ and others) If coding is your path, then plan to learn both. Java is more a 'real' language, python more a 'scripting language' (but...

    Looking for Work - North West

    TL;DR: whichever language you learn first is fine. As long as you realise it will not be the last language that you learn. At its heart programming (coding) is about : breaking a task down into bits so small that a microprocessor understands them. It is about the logic behind the task...

    Looking for Work - North West

    You have my sympathies.... When I was entering my 30's I retrained to program 'puters. I know times were different then (where did that quarter-century go?), but there do seem to be jobs around. Especially for folk willing to do 'consultancy'. Coding is not everyone's cup of tea (far from...

    Optical Illusion

    The extension on the side of the building near the middle can look (with a change in perspective) like a large box on the side of the building. I have outlined the box in black, the dark roof is the bottom of the box. It took me a while to see it, but once seen it is hard to ignore...... Here...

    Shall I post the 'helper' picture? Or should I keep sending PMs on request. I dont want to spoil the fun for folk, but I dont want to drag it out into a major production. Opinions? <edit>I know, here is the link to the spoiler - you can choose to look if you want.</edit>
