Re: BACKSTONE BAKERS

Artizan baker probably priced themselves out of the market. The town still has Wilds on Rainahall Road, I have always favoured their plain teacakes or bread rolls, baps, oven bottoms or whatever you want to call them. Perfect for a good BLT or bacon butty.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Fairly sure I added Singapore with its country code a while back. Had a look in Plesk and agree the CPU was taking a battering. Just checked again and was correct, Singapore is banned by country code. Digging a bit deeper the IP is associated with this company based in mainland China which is also r...

Apparently he legally has little chance of winning if it goes to court. First of all the program was not visible in the USA by any means so it should fail on that alone. He also has to prove that his reputation has been damaged directly by the broadcast that no one in the USA has seen. The beeb has ...

Not where I and all the other Barlickers were at the remembrance service. It was steady rain in the town square for all that attended. It did bait a bit for the wreath laying at the memorial and the second part of the service.

I was just going to say the same Tiz. Irfanview as mentioned has a batch processing facility so you can queue multiple images and resize the whole lot with one click. It takes seconds really to process the photos so not really a chore. I have it set to resize to 800 x 600 which means the resize feat...
