  1. a spare go-kart tyre might come in handy too, use as a kind of scaled-down version of the pic. nothing worse than your target falling over in a slight breeze just as you're on the downstroke (oo-err missus)
  2. i thought it was nice her Dad had gone along for moral support, then she said fiancé ?
  3. i saw they’d got a 36’ in and wondered if it was yours, due to blokes exaggerating about size and that
  4. yes, it recently sank sorry, but couldn't resist such an open goal, i’m bored whilst waiting for the washing to finish.
  5. first saw ‘em back in 1989, Bradford, St Georges Hall a lot of the Scadinavian and Japanese bands at that time were a lot more raw and brutal though
  6. thats why i was careful to say identical to the cd it came from i did love my tapes back in the day, and my rewind/fast forward pencil for when using a walkman and in battery saving mode NERD!! i did say it depended what equipment you used, hardly makes a difference with my taste in music though
  7. but FLAC is lossless so in theory is identical to the CD it's come from, MP3 is compressed so must lose something somewhere. that said, it all depends on what you're listening to it with and through as well

  9. @LadyG Willow Wren Training is the link
  10. https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/boating/a-guide-to-boating/boaters-handbook?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-aGCBhCwARIsAHDl5x_oJoCJ7TYDa9ov07YK76ZhLiEPusOhBEse7E5z9iZ5PJTI4h_JnaAaAs4KEALw_wcB for the basics of locks etc. are you solo or with a partner? will make your approach to locks quite different. https://www.canalbookshop.co.uk/boating.html Going It Alone by Colin Edmondson https://www.canalbookshop.co.uk/living aboard.html lots of choice there books can only tell you so much though
  11. depends of level of confidence in tinkering with programs i guess, i’m only suggesting a standalone program for simplicity sounds big for a DVDRip, are you using 5.1 audio or something? mine usually come out 1.5-2gb, i always convert to the max spec of my equipment. i have nothing better than 1080p or Dolby stereo, anything above that is a waste of HD space and processing time. if my equipment changes i can always re-rip. BluRay obviously is larger.
  12. i would use DVDDecrypter (old prog but still works fine) to rip the DVD to computer as Handbrake wont remove the css encryption on commercial DVDs without fiddling, then use Handbrake to encode as mkv using the General - HQ 720p setting (DVD is not that res, but it will give less stuttering on transitions and panning). allow around 7-10gb minimum free space per dvd on your computer to work with, if you have more space you can batch encode a few at a time in a queue. we take a small wallet of USB memory sticks to the boat filled with films ripped from our DVDs, on our old circa 2006 Samsung TVs they play flawlessly, on our two year old Ferguson TV on the boat they have a weird audio problem as for some reason the TV will mute the sound on areas of silence in playback. some equipment just works better than others. other options to playback are mentioned above, all depends on what works easily for you.
  13. most modern TVs will play back .mpg or .mov type files, some better than others. does your TV have the facility to plug in a USB stick and browse the contents?
  14. this was around 1985, and i’m not telling ?
  15. it was her trademark over-reaction to things that didn’t fit her moral code, she once did similar to a Ford-vehicle-titled grumble mag she found stashed under my mattress. thing is it must have taken her ages, she never said anything just left the pieces where she’d found it. i will admit to spending several hours trying to tape it back together, but failed miserably
  16. i had that poster on my wall for approx 5mins until mum saw it, pulled it down and tore it into 1cm squares
  17. was just going to suggest the same stuff

  19. i think AirBnB operate differently to your traditional B&B setup, don't you usually get the entire property to yourself?
  20. only once, but the air of cardamom and coal jus were a bit beyond my skillset
  21. get with the times Athy lad, that's what is commonly known as a "deconstructed breakfast", it's all the rage nowadays, i blame Heston Notsobloomin'tall
  22. didn’t spot one, but to be fair we did watch half of it on x6 fast forward as the wife became annoyed by Bergerac’s narrating so it may have blipped past.
  23. they do have some newly-created water access points in the roof
  24. well spotted technically it doesn’t state a wet one either
  25. ? thank-you for that term, not heard it before, it’s made my afternoon
