Does anyone know how long it takes to get to Vauxhall via 185 (or change Camberwell) in the morning rush hour. When is a good (or at least less bad) time - is before 8 or after 8:45 better. Alternatively getting a 37 to Clapham Junction but my gut feeling is that this will be longer. Basically - I am trying to get to a train that goes from Waterloo and stops at Vauxhall.

I am dyslexic so find processing of large amounts of text difficult. I also tend to think visually so having a picture (either photo or image) helps to identify who is is writing what. I find reading email on Facebook easier because you have a visual reminder of who is writing. But I hate animated images with a vengance - they detract me from what I am really trying to read. So I am moderately in favour of them, provided there are static and limited in size. And people who don't like to see them to swithch them off when they read the forum. [edited for typos - there are probably more :-)]

In record time, here are the photos. Looks like the Andrews are taking over the world...

"he should walk bare foot for the duration of it's (=it is) term" Or do you mean "its term", mysteriously using a neuter pronoun to refer to a masculine one.

I made a CD in 1902 : O ruddier than the cherry by George Frideric Handel Performer: Andrew Black (Baritone) Date of Recording: 1902 http://www.arkivmusic.com/classical/album.jsp?album_id=19594 Curiously I have actually sung this aria. I got a letter forwarded by my college a few years after I left asking me to play the violin in a concert in Cambridge. I have a lot of musical skills by scraping strings with horsehair isn't one of them :-$

I am just recovering from the shock of meeting Andrew Black. Whenever I get an email at work that completely confuses me I then twig that it is the other one. Usually if it is for some thing in Scotland it is a bit of clue. Today I got a hotel bill for London. I don't tend to need a hotel in London. After a couple of emails I discovered he was visiting the building I work in. I felt a bit of a twat going round asking "have you seen Andrew Black" in case anyone knew me! Anyone else had interesting confusions with name sakes.

My feeling is that 'wanted, offered and recommended' is a rather broad church and I would prefer it didn't become any broader. I am not keen on 'recommended' and 'advertised' being in the same group. I am happy for "Widgets ltd" to advertise there wares but I would like it separate. And 'questions, staff/premises/red tape issues and so on' doesn't really fit either. So I will second planlondon's suggestion. Andrew

Consider words to have been had. There was a reason for rejecting that photo in the first place :))

I have never really got on with Freemind. I don't like the way that it lays out the nodes completely at its whim. So you add another node and things move over to the left hand side. I have tried a trial version of Inspiration (which is quite expensive). This is better in that you can choose the layout yourself.

As promised, here are the pictures from Friday (well some of them were from the EDT)

When does the CPT close. I have another drink to go to first, but I am sure you would love me to turn up for some photos :)

I have seen similar problems on other systems generating RSS feeds and it doesn't surprise me that these problems come and go. There is probably a dodgy message that was causing the system to generate invalid XML. Examples I have seen are things like HTML markup in one of the fields that isn't properly escaped - you need to change < to <. Of course it could be a bug in the RSS reader you are using - something valid but unusual throws a wobbly to the reader. An RSS feed will typically only give you the last N entries. So once N new entries have been added the dodgy message will fall off the radar. If it happens again, I am happy to have a look at the RSS output being produced and see if I can spot what the invalid markup is. I know a moderate amount about XML parsing and am interested to learn more. Probably best to PM me as I don't read About this forum much.

In what sense is the unacceptability of this offence not total. Report the driver and get him sacked.

I have taken a few at Flickr I really shold have taken them on Sun morning - less likely to get parked cars and smokers in the picture (nothing against smokers but they tend to congregate outside pubs nowadays).
