Yes. Welcome, Duncan. At least the baritone section are polite - and we even play the notes sometimes! See you Monday, I believe!

I use CENTOS (Strongbolt) on my Cobalt RAQ4 which does mailserver/fileserver/webserver/etc.... No graphics card, so don't use a presentation manager - ssh or webmin only!

Dr. Tudor Jenkins, secretary and Eb Bass, Aberystwyth Silver Band, died this morning unexpectedly, after a short illness. No funeral date known yet.

The press release mentions £50m but I believe that applies to all the Pontins' sites. "Prestatyn Sands Holiday Park will have its amenities extensively developed during 2010 and will see its capacity increased over the next three years. The development will include: • A new Ocean Spa...

No. The manager of the site explained that they were having (I think it was) £5m worth of improvements done to the site and that means that the contest may have to fit round when suitable buildings are available.

Chicken Pox is NOT HSV (either 1 or 2) - it is Vaccinia, which is completely different. The only similarity (so I'm told) is that they are both DNA viruses as opposed to RNA viruses. Thus there is no cross-immunity between Vaccinia and HSV 1/2. HSV 1/2 is quite transmissible to others (as...

There's a Boots equivalent to Zovirax that's the same stuff but a bit cheaper. (It may well be called "Avert"). There's also another version on the market called Soothelip which I know is the same stuff....

I thought you got a certificate after the first of 3 years, a diploma after the second and your masters at the end of the third.... Certainly that's what my wife was told when she got her Cert. Man. (which was from a different uni) I have an MSc in Software Development from the OU that I...

Find a second hand iRiver H320 or H340 on eBay. Add Rockbox to it and you have a fine 20 or 40gig player. If you really want to be adventurous, take the hard disk out and add 32 (or 64 if you can find one) Gb flash through an adapter. As has been said about the Sony's, easy file transfer...

The Hellfire Caves (West Wycombe, Bucks). Dug as a job creation scheme and maybe an extension to Lord Dashwood's pile's garden/grounds (seen in the recent "The Importance of Being Earnest" and many other films)

From: http://www.f1wolf.com/2009/06/introduction-campos-manor-usf1-three-new-f1-teams.html - the same text is also available on the autocar site (don't know who is the original!). Seems they have stolen sponsorship away from Braun too! Company Name: Manor Grand Prix Racing Team...

It is indeed possible to get ITV transmissions other than your own region with! a Sky / Sky+ box. http://www.stevelarkins.freeuk.com/itv_regions_sky_digibox.htm seems to contain sane instructions for adding the channels. Our Sky+ box works fine. HOWEVER... I seem to remember that Sky+ refuses...

Any dispensation for car sharers in this new green scheme? 3 of us car-pool the 20 miles to practice - and a lot of others do the same from different directions too. Neil.

Don't know if anyone else saw this on Saturday, but I thought it was good. "Bill Bailey joins forces with Anne Dudley and the BBC Concert Orchestra for an evening of his music and comedy. Using both contemporary and classical references, Bill Bailey explains, in his unique and hilarious...

I wonder what price we will/would end up paying for the new car. If the dealer know that there's a £2000 refund available, they'll not be so keen to pare their price as severely.... Does sound like a nice idea though - later in the summer the new Prius should be available and as our existing...
