  1. Well with the glorious clear skies today, I decided to take a day off work and go to Scampton to watch the Red Arrows practising ... had a nice lunch at the Cross Keys in Stow
  2. it'll be OK when he's finished his blue period and there's no apostrophe in the plural of photo if you don't mind me sayin' unless of course you have put the apostrophe in to signify the missing 'graph' in the shortened form of 'photographs'

  4. your such a prelific posta that I dont think id have time to cheque all you're posts
  5. No, it wasn't a problem ... I was using a 256 step programmable calculator that I'd made the previous year out of an old transistor radio RPN no doubt. Pretty impressive forming TTL from discrete semiconductors though. I would have thought a transisitor radio leant itself to analogue computing? Op-amps are minor wonders Yea, not easy

  8. That's a mammoth task for me ... last time I know I made a mistake was 1967 which of your children are going to disown you for that statement neither ... they started in 1968 ... it was a mistake I made in a fluid dynamics paper I was writing

  10. no body, some body, and some one have evolved into the compound words nobody, somebody, and someone, the similar phrase no one has never gone this route so no one is correct, and so is no-one; but not noone
  11. ...start: Soon I'll have you posting like a proper grammar nazi Capitalisation directly after a colon, then lowercase 'nazi' instead of captialising the name 'Nazi' ? IMO it should be a semi colon anyway, and yes, the sentence after a semi colon should start with a lower case letter; and the word 'Nazi" should of course begin with a capital N ... but it's not the glaring error I was referring too !
  12. I'll respond to your question if you quote me GOOD Triple quote iPad multi-page finger work.. I bet you are going to say I was wrong now, anyway.. Not the one I was thinking of

  14. IMO (for what it's worth), your command of the language is extremely good Dan but ... you appear to have made one glaring grammatical error in this thread; I wonder if anyone else has spotted it
  15. FTFY FTFY2 FTFY3 Please refer to post 52 above I was initially going to let that go, but when Toon Chris made the same mistake as you, I felt I had to respond in my defence ... anyway, let's not fall out about it
  16. Don't you mean "Don't forget punctuation... very important" The grammatical sentence construction can be forgiven, but the extra space - never! ahh ! the space before an ellipsis debate ... check this out http:// http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/marks/ellipsis.htm
  17. Upside down !!! Never noticed that at first until you said, ...bloody good spot. Still a crime to actually do that I believe as well. Technically, in this instance, it's correct. As flying the union flag upside down is a distress signal... Is it not technically back to front as if you rotate this 180deg it would still be wrong? Rotation about the horizontal plane, not the vertical plane, is required (in this instance) as Watshot says, because it's a distress signal
