  1. Yes, this. If you haven't got a Google account they are very easy to set up. You'll end up with a .gmail.com email address which you can then use to log in to Google on your PC or any other Google friendly device. Once you've done that any photo you take will be uploaded to a cloud based server and be accessible via the Google photo App from any device you log in to, including a future new phone or tablet as long as it's Android based. Having just set up a new laptop for my 84 cyr old cyber-grannie mother-in-law I noted that Microsoft have introduced an 'S' Mode for Windows 10 which dresses itself as a security measure, but seems more about keeping Google Apps and Google Chrome off it. You'll have to use the Edge browser, but set Google as your home page and log in, or you can switch S Mode off and load Chrome. I'm not sure how wise that is to do, so chose not to.

  5. A few years ago I wound the stern rope on to the prop of a historic boat whilst reversing, and was keen to avoid hours with a hook or a dip in the River Wey in November. I'd seen it happening so was holding the rope with the engine running, having managed to get it into neutral. Fully expecting to be dragged off the boat, I put it in forward - and was astounded to see the rope unwind again as if it was coming off a reel. Was there anyone around to be impressed? 'Course not.

  9. I think the answer's in the title. Spend the money on a really good shower and if you want a bath, get out of the floating box, and go to a spa.

  11. Our beer glasses are toughened, and are prone to spontaneously self destruct on occasions, usually when empty and often when stacked with other glasses. I'm reliably informed that glass is technically a liquid, and what happens is 'supercyrstallisation', which can be triggered by contact, stress, a gentle tap with the right shaped tool (escape windows on buses) or even certain sound frequencies.
  12. This wil maybe give you some help with which test pots to start with .... but it's all influenced by your screen, or printer. https://www.e-paint.co.uk/RAL_Colourchart.asp Having had two windows open side by side I'm stuck between Gentian Blue or Cobalt Blue.

  14. Many years ago I used to steer an ex-Amsterdam waterbus on the Bridgewater. Steering position was about 12 feet back from the bow of a 48ft boat. Spent about 60% of my time watching the back end.
  15. Would the shape be anything to do with the technology available the time the first metal boats were made - i.e. rivets, big hammers and forges? The S shape would have been relatively easy to create, and avoids the weak spot that a simple right angle would introduce as the stress is distributed around the bend to the substantial square 'ole where it joins the rudder that I can't remember the name of.

  17. One more variable - the exact location of the Kettle. Is Mrs Bob positioning it to heat the flame cut out more efficiently?

  21. The apps that you can't uninstall can be disabled which stops them affecting the phone too much. If you're prepared to spend a few quid, as well as antivirus, AVG do a cleaner app that will recommend which apps to hibernate, remove etc.

  23. Nah mate, you haven't been anywhere near insulted. If you'd like to subscribe to a site where you can experience being properly insulted by experts, PM me for details.
  24. I used floor paint on a boat roof some years ago. It didn't last long - basically it's just not the right stuff for the job as alluded to above.
