Apparently a Bear attacked this Piper Super Cub while it was parked in a remote area in Alaska. The pilot had not cleaned out the inside after a long fishing trip and the Bear smelled a fish smell. The pilot had two new tires, three cases of Duck Tape (never leave home without it, the greatest...

:duno: [-X :whistle: :D

Thanks Andy - this is a limitation of the terms of the tripadvisor feed. We just have access to the most recent 5 reviews. Ideally we'd have more, but I think the 5 most recent are of more value than, say, 10 reviews from a year ago. Chris - it's limited to Expedia for both practical and...

Thank you for your objectivity Soulfly but Bookings.com does nothing like RoomAtlas. No interactive map, no prices marked on each hotel, no tripadvisor reviews, and it takes an age to get to the info you want. Also you make big and erroneous assumptions about our background knowledge. However...

Chris - the feed we are using is for Expedia listed hotels. If Expedia doesn't use the hotel then it won't show on the map. Not all hotels are covered by Expedia. When I looked at Villefranche it showed 2 hotels - Mercure Villefranche Beaujolais and Campanile Villefranche Sur Soane -...

Thanks to all who helped with the browser poll. Our new website RoomAtlas.com is now up and running. The idea came from our experience of trying to find a hotel online and the frustration in clicking through lots of dropdowns, before finally seeing a list of hotels. But how do you know which to...

Thanks for all your input. I think we've got the bases covered now. This is what our website is all about. When booking a hotel online, you'll be used to clicking through endless dropdowns, before finally seeing a list of hotels. But how do you know which to pick? Which are closest to the...

I've got the Magellan 2250T which includes maps for the whole of western Europe and have had no problems with it. When I got it, it was about half the price of the equivalent TomTom and did 90% of what the TT could do. From what I've seen, the TT interface is more intuitive, and the price has...

I don't think that you can vote more than once in a poll, but you can list what you have as many times as you like as a posting. Thanks to all who have completed the poll. We have a working site for all combinations of Apple OS, MS WIN and Linux with Firefox, IE 6,7 and 8, and Google Chrome...

Thanks Dave. My son has already ensured full functionality in Linux, Apple, Firefox, Chrome and IE6. Sorting IE6 resolved most of the problems in IE7 and 8. Opera still needs checking. Being a Google engineer, you will forgive him for working in Chrome, but Firefox was used alongside as he...

Thanks Zeb. My son has Linux covered. I appreciate that it may be normal to build in IE first - but my son is a Google engineer so was predisposed to building it in Chrome and then optimise for IE. Since starting this poll he's got around the problem with IE8 in Vista by finding a way to...

Thanks ****. Duly noted. My son has done all the initial work in Chrome and since safari uses the same rendering engine as chrome there has been no problem with any of the Apple combos he's tried. IE8 with Vista is the main stumbling block. And I think Mac OSX with IE8 is an unlikely...

My son and I are building a website and now need to optimise it so that it will work in all browsers. Please tick above to show which browser you use by default. We are having problems with Internet Explorer 8 thru Vista, although there is no problem with IE8 with XP. It would be helpful to...

I'd just like to add my words of encouragement! I love that birds-eye maple. And anyone who never has a setback in any of their projects just isn't pushing the boundaries hard enough.

Colour Test These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's Disease. It took me 2 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great test, do it until you get 100%! Bet you can't get 100% on the...

I love it! Very much in keeping with the property. Many thanks for all the WIP piccies - always something to learn from these, and time consuming to keep taking them at critical times, but well worth it. Please don't stain it - it'll weather beautifully just as it is.

There does seem to be a trend towards hammering older people. Those who have retired early and planned to supplement their occupational pensions until the state pension kicks in with income from savings, have seen their investment income cut by about 80% with the complete collapse in interest...

Initially when we retuned, we lost quite a number of channels, much to my frustration. However, on the advice of someone being interviewed on the radio, I first reset my PVR to "factory settings" and then retuned, and that recovered the lost channels. You do not lose any recorded prorammes by...

It's schoolboy howler time again! 1. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef. 2. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up. 3. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever. 4. McBride...

This was my solution to the same problem. Although it is not easy to see from the photo, there is a divider up the middle so that I can use one side at a time so that batches of logs can dry out before use. The back is open with a diagonal brace to stop it racking. The store is up against an...
