Navy-ating Bucc's fizz - On the deck at last


Recommended Posts

It is about to become an interesting few days

 

I didn't fancy Win10, now Gwyn and I have to learn it from basics

 

Oh well at least it isn't 'Basic'

 

I wish I hadn't lost all that useful hard drive space and set off this disaster, but self-inflicted huh

 

Move on, time to go for a walk

It's not too bad tbh Bill, much more like W7 than 8 was! Some daft 'improvements' like any 'update' but fairly intuitive when moving from W7.

 

Fingers & toes crossed that you can recover all your stuff....

The absolutely bonkers bit is that after backing it up into my external 250gig drive I just forgot to check the image files

 

That really needs a 'fingers crossed' for Tuesday evening

 

 

😨

The Borrowers

 

Possibly my weirdest question yet on Britmodeller

 

Now I'm sure that even the better organised of us/you occasionally mislay 'stuff'

 

Occasionally, but I am getting very concerned, nay worried, by the efforts of these amiable little chaps

 

I use, mostly, my Swann-Morton craft knives as I am accustomed to them after using same since the sixties and in addition one of their 'handy' little scalpel blade holders for incywincy tidy little slender slicing tasks

 

Nothing out of the usual there I am sure....

 

I buy blades for these when I know I am running out of reinforcements, usually in fives or sixes of the shapes I prefer

 

Number one and two are favourites and numbers 10a or 11 scalpels

 

I have about fifteen unused S-M 2s and 1s ready for use, as and wh...

 

But nay sirrah

 

I seek, I do not find

 

😬

I search without result

 

All fruitlessly sadly

 

Now to return to the little fellows, the "If its not being used we can..." chaps

 

Are they dangerous?

 

Is there any historical record that suggests they may turn homicidal??

 

 

Or

 

 

Did anyone see where I put the blarry things?

 

I have work to do, mojo's to rebuild

When things like that happen to me ( they do), I tend to think that objects have a soul, and a will ... :frantic:

 

No point in looking harder, they'll just come back when they're done - normally, as soon as you click "confirm" on the definitive order confirmation to replace them ....

"They'll be in the last place you look".

What a stupid saying - only an idiot would continue looking once they've found something. :shrug:

Use a coin Willard...

First use of the new computer,  what does it look like from there?

 

Seems similar but subtly different from here

 

I have ordered some new blades

 

in a box

 

lets see the little buggers shift them off the shelf

 

in the cupboard

 

behind the Sea Fury

 

Off to learn how to get into the menus

 

Cheapo box, win 10 inside

 

no deinstructions

 

;)

 

fun ahead

You look good as usual :D  :D 

 

For the records: I have W10 on my home PC, but I'm strictly sticking to WIN7 on my office workstation :fight:  :ninja: 

 

Ciao

I already don't like it a lot

 

I cannot find an easy way to see 'the computer'

 

where the heck is My computer with its simple interface that shows me whatever is plugged into it?

 

der...  :(

 

It came with 10 loaded but 7 is unavailable

 

:(

W10?  WIN7? 

 

After I'd been iPhone'd and iPad'd for a while I went the whole hog and Mac'd as well.  So it's macOS Sierra (soon to be High Sierra) and iOS 11 rather than Windows for me these days.  I love the depth and breadth of the connectivity  between all of em.

 

I wouldn't swop back now - but it's horses for courses as they say.......:)

Bill , you should have a folder like icon on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Click that and it 'should' open as 'This PC' - that's basically the W10 version of My Computer. If you can't see the icon, go to search (a circle next to the start button on my taskbar) and just enter 'This PC'.

 

You can also click the 'start' button, scroll down to 'settings' and that gives you all the devices connected etc.

OK first things first

 

Keith thank you for the help, I'm kinda getting there

Second thing, online and now Downloading Lazesoft recovery for Win7, burning to CD at the mo'

 

I suppose 'some of us' was having fun boasting about their shining bright apples, at ten zillion quid a go some of us poorer folks will have to work with what we've got instead

 

Now I have the recovery disc, access to a working PC and another elderly led monitor I hope I will be able to rescue the win7 baby and COPY her files into Number Ten

 

Tomorrow will do for that

 

 

Did anyone see where I left the outer wings of the Bucc?

 

A miracle has resulted in fifty vortex generators arriving on my doorstep, post haste from an Alchimist in the frozen, wind blasted North 

 

I now need to finish the inner cavities for the opened out wings to be displayed so I can run the etch tests the Wizard suggests

 

They are beautiful

Just noticed I got a couple of this

 

Stunning wasn't it?

We didn't actually get to see the sun yesterday Bill, but the fantastic coppery metallic clouds made up for it. A bit!

 

I'd like to be able to afford a Mac too. Fed up of getting soaked when it rains...:whistle: :P Wife has got an iPad Mini. I have far less trouble with my Samsung & Kindle tablets!

 

I'm guessing the outer wings of the Bucc have eloped with the knife blades!

 

Nice V.G's! I guess I'll live with the plastic blobs on my Javelin & Orks! 

 

Just been on the SMW website & it told me there are (were!) 24 days, 12 hours & 42 minutes to the show. How nicely symetrical!

Don't believe in putting anyone under pressure do they?

No pressure here Martian - when they introduced the 'only 4 club members allowed into set up' last year I decided not to bother taking anything to display (& I'm not the slightest bit competitive so never enter comps). And I'll be doing the same this year. So when the 'lucky 4' are setting up, the rest of us will be in the pub...!!

Obviously NOT

 

But wouldn't it be nice if they finally released the 2017 floor plan

 

(caveat they may have done so this evening, but hadn't this morning)

 

I have been advised that our UK club (Birmingham in the middle of England) is going to be between some German chaps and some Belgiques

 

I dont expect to be fit to drive home every evening  :)

 

Yesterdays other little piccy

It was a tad gloomy, but the photography opportunities rocked, man
