I love the snow and cold, the best experience I have had in my life was a skiing exercise in Bavaria in my army days, we were working with the RAF where rhey would drop recruits by parachute into the snow below and they had to escape to a certain point, it was called 'Avoid or Capture'. A few managed to escape or avoid capture and the ones we caught we had to blindfold them then march then into a barn and make them stand against the barn wall and not say a word, if they did we would hit them with our rifle butts, not a big hit but a nudge and they had to wait to be interogated, all part of their training to join the RAF. There was us all rugged up to the high heavens and they were standing there shivering their bollocks off as we took their jackets and scarves off them.

You can stick that!! I mentioned in here before I had to leave Australia and come to a cooler climate because anything over 30c then I would get an accute migraine attack, the hottest I have experienced out there was 48c in the shade, yuk.

Bloody strange weather here, for the last few days the forecast has been for heavy rain, thunder & lightning but all we have is very cloudy and humid was the odd drizzle.

I agree with that, my signature was far to big with Ruud and I put the Scottish logo in with the intention of knocking the big signature of Ruud off and just leaving the logo but when we got hit with the spammer I could't remove it and all I managed to do was it was showing the link only, when you did the big fix I could edit then and remove that.

I know, that was just something I do like, you covered the question with your reply grandmaster

I do like the expand feature when creating a thread/post, it saves a lot of space especially if its a long read, as per above whatever anybody decides is fine by me, the main thing is we are up and running again, thank fuck.

Gilgamesh tablet: US authorities take ownership of artefact A federal court has ordered that a rare ancient artefact, known as the Gilgamesh Dream Tablet, must be surrendered to authorities. The 3,500-year-old tablet, from what is now Iraq, bears text from the Epic of Gilgamesh - one of the world's oldest works of literature. Officials say it was illegally imported before being purchased by the Christian-owned brand Hobby Lobby. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-57992957
