Matter of interest Griff you're not on the coast? According to weather forecast you could be underwater...

Ahh, IP65 the door hatch, good move!

No - couple hundred meters above sea level, so should be fine.
Even if I was, there isn't anything I could do about it, so no point in worrying!

According to one news feed "Nick doesn't own anything, no house, if the Lawyers..." so he doesn't own a house, by reason his wife? (or partner) does or he is a "Leech living on the back of the Tax Payer" (please...) So either he is one of the mass of people claiming the rock n' roll or he was 'bright' enough to ship everything to the other half (run please...)

Hi All,
I spent the Hols installing software on a new PC I have got while doing this I had to search out old boxes, books etc. for Keys and the like. I came across a complete un-used Borland Builder C++ book looked through it for old times sake (ahh.. nostalgia!) and found a section on Serial Port communication and started to read it. The view was while no native means of comms is included this is how to get it working while a component is not included. I remember hearing from some where that Borland (or whatever they were called at the time) lost a lot of there main coders to Microsoft (due to a legal action). Could that be why the serial port was left off .NET 1, only to back in Net 2.0 and on are we using a Borland derived product on reverse engineered Alien Technology (or have I spent the hols watching too many dodgy documentaries "it's a conspiracy, I tell you")...
Makes you think...

This is no conspiracy. Can you please have a look at that flashing red light ?

Making my second cup of coffee of the day, I lift the milk out of the fridge, catch the shelf above it, which falls out...dropping a whole big jar of mayonnaise on the floor.
Which smashes, leaving me a wide "splash zone" of mayo and broken glass to clear up. Joy.
That's not a good combo really - raw-egg-based condiment mixed with broken glass - so I have to manually (and very carefully) collect all the glass into a cardboard box, followed by all the mayo-and-glass mix, which can then all go in a plastic bag so it doesn't leak / smell, followed by the mayo so I can use a broom to sweep up the tiny glass bits, then a mop and bucket to clean the floor.
Needless to say, the cat does not make this a simple process. 
So, how's your day going?

Your history striked me as a cultural difference, here where i live there's only one brand of mayonnaise (a very cheap one) who sells it on glass jars, all the others sell plastic containers that bounce when throw at the floor
|

|

I speak from experience not every plastic container bounces, in fact from reference if the container is still factory sealed it will rupture and give an equal to glass explosion! (notably if you have a designer kitchen floor of barely smoothed slate  ) I believe the brand leader in the UK still comes in glass jars, the cheapo supermarket own brand might come in plastic...
