Re: Google account

Just delete the email and forget about it.

I still find amusing the emails from people trying to send me €50,000,000.

Ezousa Estuary

A couple of years ago we stumbled across a sad little memorial at the mouth of the Ezousa River. We thought we would check it out again a few days ago, to see what the area looked like after the rains. The question was, how would we get to it? In the past, the Ezousa was always dry at this point. No...

Re: Google account

You will have been signed up to Google + automatically if you have a GMail acoount. Google + is being withdrawn. If you have not used it, you can just ignore the email.

Some people did use it. Those people will want to copy data they have posted on there (photos etc) if they still want to keep it.

Re: Unite Cyprus calls on Cypriots to put past demons behind them

That was my point. And quite frankly I am getting fed up with your continued argumentative tone on this forum. I already gave you a two week ban in the hope that you would adopt a more civil approach and stop picking fights at every opportunity. However, you are showing no signs of doing so. Your ne...

Re: Healthcare after “No Deal”

Fair play to Jim for blocking somebody that was annoying him. I wish more people did that rather than just regurgitate the same old arguments ad nauseam.

In answer to your question, you missed the point. The problem is not at Cyprus' end. Why would Cyprus care if the UK failed to bill them?

They are shutting down Google +. It went the same way as google's previous dip into social media. Who remembers Google Wave?

Re: US army men do a great job of this great Floyd track.

Ooo ooo ooo.

Some clever chap has taken the violin from above and merged it with the published Wish You Were Here. So you can now hear the final song with extra violin.



And now I must get back to work...

Re: US army men do a great job of this great Floyd track.

Oh and did you know that there is a hidden bit of violin at the end of the song Wish You Were Here? You can hear it right at the end. They were going to feature it more prominently but decided not to. But thanks to the magic of youtube, you can even hear the version with Stéphane Grappelli playing i...

Re: US army men do a great job of this great Floyd track.

It's funny how bands change their music through the years. I like the Gabrial-era Genesis, and still play Supper's Ready while I am formatting a stack of photos, to alleviate the monotony. I don't think I've once looked for Invisible Touch on Youtube though.

Re: US army men do a great job of this great Floyd track.

It was so weird how Syd Barrett turned up at their recording studios when they were recording this album, and they couldn't recognise him to start with.

Truly, the drugs don't work...

Re: Healthcare after “No Deal”

In the event of a No Deal - the very worst scenario - I'm expecting a lot of retaliatory pay-back towards the UK and it's citizens, wherever they reside. That's in addition to the pain, inconvenience, delays, taxes and shortages which will arise from having new Customs controlled borders. Bear in m...
