First-World Problems.

Has he been banned permanently?

It would seem that he’s served his time because the Graun has just published a Martin Rowson cartoon. And complementary of the Government it isn’t.

Hundreds of people have contacted BBC News about struggling to pay their vet bills.

My trusty digital camera (Panasonic Lumix TZ3) actually my 4th one, decided to let the bloody amazing photos (even if I say so myself), I took this morning, escape.

The only possibility is that it received a command to delete all of today's shots.

Just in case they are still on the SD card, and some whizz of a tech head knows how to get them, I have locked the card and put it safe until someone clever can work on it.

There were two absolutely amazing shots. I was absolutely gutted when I could not find them anywhere on the memory card.

If they were saved to the card you should be able to recover them on a computer, with the appropriate software.

PhotoRec generally works great in these situations:

Quite the best way to find out one has a small, and hitherto undetected, cut on one's finger is to squeeze lemon juice over one's smoked salmon.

Oww. Hurty.

Nice one thanks guys.

Took some more shots yesterday morning to redress the balance of man and machine. Managed to save these ones and get them backed up. Phew!

Here's the best photo I have ever planned, and everything came together at once...

I like that

Thank you Jaded.
It depended on a lot of things happening all at once -
i) suitable height of tide,
ii) wind direction (Osprey had to face the same way as the boat),
iii) the bird had to catch a fish for breakfast,
iv) the bird had to land on the boat superstructure to eat the fish,
v) there had to be a dusty atmosphere and no clouds (good chance of that this time of year in Egypt)
vi) boat had to be moored in exactly the same spot as the day before, (that was pure fluke).
vii) me stirring from my slumber in time.

EVs for young children - is that a first-world problem?

[andyoxon]

A 'two pannier' shop, and didn't have a £1 coin or disc for a small trolley release, so had to try and pile it all in one arm busting shopping basket.

Ah, a Birmingham Tricycle.

Smalls around here seem as likely to be riding on (usually cheaper, nastier) little electric cars with their charming power-drill motor whine as they would something pedal-powered.  I note they're starting to become a regular sighting at campsites (at least the big ones with small-wheel-friendly access roads).

First time I saw them was about 2005 on our block in Poland.

Pizza night and I've run out of anchovies  :'(

I didn't get on too well with that one... nor another one I found, then I asked my son (a highly respected software engineer) who suggested that www.r-undelete.com came well recommended. That worked very well.

Petrol-head next door got something similar for his offspring when he was less than a year old (offspring, that is. Not sure about bloke.)  Kid sits in it staring wide-eyed while pa walks behind with remote and does the driving.

Might be an idea to fit such gadgets out with Roomba sensors & electronics.

[Cudzoziemiec]

...or with vacuum cleaners and lawnmowers?

[Kim]

Or with pedals.


Let's be honest, this is xkcd://560 jealousy.  I'd have loved something like that as a small, in much the same way as a Kettler pedal car (which in my case I had not got).

These have existed for a long time, with different shells. Inside you’ll find an 12V SLA battery and a very low tech radio controlled car circuit board, probably exactly the same as they were installing in the 90s or whenever these started.

I saw a mother pushing a pushchair complete with tablet for the baby to watch the other day. I worry for the future 🙄

Have you seen Wall-E? It’s a commentary on the direction of travel of the human race.

But not the into space bit.  There'll be a prime minister along in a minute to announce that future space flights will stop in the mesosphere in order to cut costs.

Has anybody else noticed this blatant example of 'skimpflation'.
Tanqueray London Dry Gin is now  41.3% alcohol by volume , down from 43.1% If you can find any of the 43.1% stuff still knocking around I advise you to get in quick before it disappears.

I don’t recall the fine detail, but it’s a result of recent changes in alcohol taxation.

[Mrs Pingu]

Tanqueray is meh anyway.
