Dump that trifle you're currently hanging out with and marry the girl, for heaven sake. You can't let one like that get away. I know of a good, discrete supplier of, ahem, restraints if you need them.

I think it is.....I happened to look up at the CCTV of the helideck and noticed what appeared to be carbon flakes fluttering past in random directions. Now, we have a really big orange flare at the moment so this was quite feasible so went out to investigate with the HSE guy as didn't obviously want potentially burning embers dropping onto the platform.
Gets outside and starts heading to the helideck and noticed it was tiny spuggies (Sparrows) circling the platform and around the flare. It was very 'Hitchcock - Birds' as they were flying really close/at you, landing on the decks/handrails etc.
In all my years never seen anything like that out here. Don't know if the low visibility coupled with no wind was causing them problems on some migration path or if it is indeed the end of the world. (We will blame the recent solar flare!)

I take it you haven't heard about the juniper blight that's threatening to wipe out the entire species within the next 5 years? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That story is the worst of humanity, the scrote who started the fire, and the best of it, those who immediately started raising money, turned up with supplies and things to help with the rescued animals, except that you then start to think would there have been such a response to a fire in a place housing loads of people instead of dogs, and the answer to that I think would have been a no.

I agree. If it'd been a codgers' home, there would be lots of 'oh shame!' going on but little action. Serial killers and lovable doggies however get all the sympathy and monies.

Had it been a pig farm, there would have been a queue of people carrying bread and apple sauce.

A pig factory (or whatever they're called) holding a few hundred pigs burnt down a couple of years ago.
I was disappointed the reporter didn't say "A spokesman for the fire service described the situation as 'delicious'".

Jesus Jimny that's bad. I hope they throw the book at the little scrote. And by book I mean breezeblock. And by breezeblock I mean axe.

Welcome to the world. A number of years ago a couple local louts with nothing better to do set a fire at the country fairgrounds, a half mile away from my house. Several horses were burned to death in the fire, two barns were destroyed, and a fireman was severely injured when fighting the blaze. For a couple days afterward the smell was horrendous.
The horses were buried in the track infield. One owner retired from harness racing as a result.
The poor misunderstood kids, whose names were never revealed, got probation and their records wiped clean when they reached 18.

A mate of mine had a tendency to set fire to things when we were in our late teens. He never really understood why. The most damage he ever caused was to a candy floss stall and no-one ever injured thankfully.
He was a perfectly normal and reasonable person aside from that, and soon grew out of it and has never been in any sort of trouble since, working, getting married, just a normal person.
For some reason who just couldn't resist starting fires for a while, very odd.

I love the description of how to delete it, including the pitfalls of not connecting to a computer with itunes as part of the process.
On Windows phone or Android, you could just use one of the many available file managers to delete the files in a couple of seconds.

I just encountered to what comes as big news to me - Workspaces was shut down more than a month ago (I know I'm late, but mind that I'm still with the army). While I can understand the troubles with CodeProject.tv I pity the loss of Workspaces. I used it for my Springlog Project, for which I need to search a new home now - Any ideas for a Workspaces replacement?

If you don't care to be public go for Github...For a single-user project you may also check Visual Studio Online...
