More of a sophisticated wine-drinking sort of a day!

Thanks, chaps. Day off work; sadly no time for the Sciroccos, though.

Given that I have absolutely no recollection of being filmed for my last appearance on TV (at work, on BBC Look East), it could easily have been me.

I had no idea that "best" and "worst" had become synonyms. I can only assume this is similar to when "sick" started to mean "amazing."

I used to have a program that would download more or less an entire (simple) website, so that it could be viewed offline. I can't remember what it was, mind, but I'm sure such things are still available.

Most noticeably, full beam made no difference other than casting a slightly wider pattern - th...

The weather had a noticeable effect on the number of classics people took with them, but I drove down the night before in OHP. Cleared all the snow off with the sponge side of my window scraper this morning, this is...

Hi Chris, and welcome. I'm sure all of us will be keen to see your Storm restoration, so get a thread started in the projects section.
