I am about to ignore all the doom and gloom in the news and do something useful, simple and wholesome. Making bread.

Hasn't he sent some of our RAF fighters and pilots to help in the illegalities?

It must have been a trend or fad in Barlick at one time as there is one in trunk on the left banking just after the reservoir coming back to Barlick just past Wood End. I drove past it every day for 10 years or so.

Heard on the radio news this morning that Farage says that if Reform is elected to government they will only allow "British" people to vote. That's the Satus quo then! Shows that he doesn't understand the basic rule of law in this country as I assume he actually means "Englishmen and ...

The perils of IP distribution, easily done Kev.

Our lad Jack and his team mate Tom coming second in the elite category of the Everyday Athlete at the Gym. About 90 minutes of varied gym challenges inter spaced with 4 runs, 3 @ 750m then the final at 1km. They did a couple of gym routines then a run then back in the gym. Each two person team was m...

OK, sorry, probably not a good direct comparison. Some folk are just wired differently on how they get their kicks.

Because they can and they probably get a kick from beating the security of sites. Just another form of amusement like building steam engines.

It's an old vice embedded in a tree on Higher Lane into Barlick.

Aye, until the reprobates find a new VPN or proxy server to use for the next attack.

What happened to proper 5 year apprenticeships? They not only gave lads and lassies skills that could last a lifetime, but supported through the colleges, the instructors and teachers to pass on their skills to thousands each year. I believe some so called training courses only last 3 -6 months now,...

So do I, excellent news for Bob and yourself of course Sue, a load off your mind.

Trump also claimed that he was solely responsible for the US Ice Hockey teams success at the Winter Olympics? I firmly believe that the man is either deranged or in the advanced stages of dementia. One thing that really makes me cringe is when he, (as a draft dodger) salutes military personnel. I kn...

Going to the theatre in Bradford to see "The Buddy Holly Story", Live performance at the Alhambra, should be a good afternoon.

I am at the gym tomorrow but its a 9am slot so I will be free after lunch to pop up if that's OK Wendy.

I have 3 Drives and a DVD writer which is also SATA. I'll have a look at Wendy's and see what Col had in his treasure chest. With most drives being SATA now the problem has moved onto the 4 x bog standard MOLEX 12v connectors. I think they reappear on the higher wattage supplies.

Thanks Kev, the wattage is not really the key other than the higher the better. Its the outputs. Ideally I need 4 x Molex, 4 x SATA plus the normal 20+4 mainboard connector and a 4 pin for the CPU. The 4 x Molex are for an MSI Twin Frozr graphics card which uses them all. At a push I could skip the ...

Yes similar, it's all in the overall wattage and the number and type of output connectors. The faulty one is a 650W job with a few more outputs than the one in your photo. Probably be easier if I popped up to have a look at some point.

Happy birthday Kev, It's easy to be 65. I'm fairly certain that time speeds up the older you get. I have no idea how I got to 72 so fast

That may be plan Wendy, thanks.

Thanks Kev, it needs to have a minimum of three SATA power connectors plus the multi-way for the mainboard and a separate 4 pin CPU feed. Our Jack hasn't got back to me yet, he may have a spare.

I am toiling with an PC upgrade problem. Our Desktops SDD boot drive is full so I ordered one four times as big. First problem, not enough SATA power connectors to connect the new drive into the system. I intend to clone the drive directly, I have the software loaded on an additional drive in the ma...

I had to switch to Al Jazeera News to get anything other than the constant speculation about AMW. No need to repeat everything ten times over.

Who was the folk singer that moved onto a canal boat? Can’t remember her name.

That would be Heather, (Calluna), she's at the same gym as me. She's a Graphic Designer by trade but plays guitar and sings a bit as a hobby.

She and her partner Elaine are back in "normal" housing now.
