Thanks, yes just finished Legacy and disappointed in it for various reasons. My Amazon Prime account is out now so back to Netflix and hope some new stuff on gogglebox in coming months. Just dont seem to bother turning it on these days.

Had trial of Amazon Prime membership and binged the Bosch episodes, 7 seasons! Based on Michael Connolly's books set in LA

I was just going to look out for tiny pot of that! I need to regild a gravestone inscription and air travel so thought the tiny tin would pass security issue. Anyone any tips for doing same? clean down with? acetone? meth spirits? I got a quote of £700 to do same, over the top, removing the stone etc.

My 'other issue' was overheating as the fan went on old HP machine and could not be sorted DIY. I am delighted with my present laptop, Microsoft, neat slim design and beautiful keyboard as well as lovely screen for viewing video/TV /photos.

In 1966 my grandfather wrote his memoirs of growing up in Irish village 1890 - 1904. The original manuscript was lost. But I managed to track a copy of same that eventually made its way to me. So it is now up on Amazon as was cheapest way to circulate copies to his descendants. Kept other half busy ...

Family bibles might have been a resource? more common in non RC families.

yep kids used to play sword fights with the leaves and they seem to drop all year round... neighbours lot would fall my way. I think they only thrive on a line diagonically south from Clontarf but so alien in this country and we are blessed with being able to grow so much better.

I hate cordelyne (sp?) and had to dig out two in this house when we moved in along with a line of leylandii. The roots went on down and down and I gave up after a bit and they never came back. They seemed to be a fashion item for gardens in the 1970's? I also dislike buddleia even tho favourite for ...

I have a few hundred slides of my own and now have inherited another batch. Any advice on getting them onto digital format? Years ago I was quoted 10 cent a slide but now it is much more so what of the DIY scanner devices for slides? Are results as good as a professional job? I have heard it can be ...

I keep two going and keen gardener so I appreciate the better quality water for plants and the ease of filling a watering can, less strain on back, dunking it in open trough topped up by waterbutt. I have them located in a sheltered south facing corner so never had any problem with cracking. I have ...

Yes I notice things seem to move between streaming services .... I would recommend Julia (HBO series) presently on Sky. I wonder will it pop up on regular TV or other service ?

"Deja Vu" is not free view with Prime.

Since when is LATIN not a 5 letter word?

I was looking at Bosch machines in Power City last week and were from 370 euro upwards depending on capacity and spin speed.

I use a 40 degree wash with extra rinse cycle and 1400 spin speed and it take one hour 11 mins. I like the fact that there is a timer telling you how much time is left til finished. It is an 8 kg load capacity. The dishwasher seems happy to do a 'quick wash' and that takes 29 minutes. It is a soft w...

Yes happy with Bosch also both for w machine and d washer.

Some really nice biscuits etc in the Lidl 'special' gluten free offerings this week. A new brand I have not see before called Sonday. Even had 'sponge fingers' so that is Christmas pud sorted = tiramasui as it is into 2023 for date.

I heard back from Gate and yes they would like them so thank you Mountain

That's an idea.... thks.

I have a set of programs mostly ballet/music from 1940's London and then Dublin in 1950's mostly Gate Theatre. Would anyone collect these? It seems a pity to dump them.

Thank you for your encouragement.... I have worked away for a few hours now and very pleased with result ... a 15 'movie' wiht a dozen or so video clips interspersed with stills. For some reason I ended up with Movavi Video editing and thought all well with a 7 day free trial. Now the finished produ...

I will ask at a chemist when some other reason to visit one. ... thks all. So far all good in this house but extended family going down like flies as met up over christmas etc.

Just to follow up on this.... yes there was some setting to show 'negative' images that I must had inadvertently selected! Apparently it is an option favoured by some with certain eyesight conditions.... news to me. So all well with tablet but now have had my old one repaired. But I am stuck with ne...

Just checking antigen tests in the house and seems that three of the liquid vials are missing. Anyone know what is in it and can it be replicated? maybe saline water??
