Anyone watching Dune:prophecy

Yes, and as mentioned upthread, mainly because it looks and sounds so good. I'm a sucker for great costume and sets. See also Foundation

At the front end, yes. Internally, no.

I imagine each operator & possibly network rail will have teams of people tasked with minimising/ defending delay repay through whatever loopholes they can exploit.

I worked in the York ROC, (Regional Operating Centre) as a Maintenace Controller. NwR have a large team each member having a responsibility to monitor the delays on their section of line. When each delay occurs they then do initial attribution after asking the signalled for information. This delay then gets an initial TI (trust incident) number and a attribution code. Some codes are neutral where the delays are shared between all TOCs, FOCs and NwR like weather, leaf fall, trespass and bridge strikes. If the signaller advises that it had nothing to do with them, then NwR send it out to the TOCs to find out the reason. Internally within the TOC they then try to attribute to a cause. This could be Maintenace (My bit, trouble with the unit), Train Crew (late to train, missing, wheelchair) or operation issues (not sticking to afore mentioned rules of the plan. . Some of these could then be deemed neutral, overcrowding, wheelchairs lighting, defensive driving and get sent back to NwR. The to and fro goes on continuously until attribution gets accepted. The costs to do all the attribution runs in to millions and that is before any payments between the companies.

I worked for Northern TOC up in York and have seen all the changes for good and bad. I was there for the Sectorisation (Provincial), Regionalisation (Regional Rail NE), Privatisation (MTL Serco, NED rail, Arriva), Re-Sectorisation (Loss of Trans Pennine Trains to TPE), Re-Organisation (Combining North West and North East in to Northern) and finally working under the Operator Of Last Resort.
Personally it has been very good to me, Forty Five years at Retirement. For our travelling public, not so much. Although at local level we worked very well with the operators we share lines with, LNER, TPE. XC, Avanti, Serco, East Midlands, West Midlands, Merseyrail, TFW, Grand Central, Lumo and a myriad of Freight Operators it can be seen from the list how many lines of communication and conflicts of interest there can be. There has to be a rule of the plan for each intersection of operators.
It is huge and full of conflict and there is no simple answer. Least of all Nationalisation without having an overall strategy or dream of how the Railways should look.

Portentous sunset near me right now… duck and cover

Absolutely

Megalopolis was alright. No idea how it took so long to come together, there's not much substance to it but enjoyable enough.

Didn't get it at all. Satire? It looked beautiful, costumes are great. Some hammy acting, but maybe it was supposed to all be a bit camp, a bit Carry On.

Have no affiliation:- CEX now give 5 years warranty on all tech sold

ust thought id post my work in progress if anybody’s interested……

Very interested, looks great.

A Man On The Inside On Netflix. Ted Danson, Stephanie Beatriz and a host of other great actors in a bittersweet comedy mostly set in a retirement home.
Typing that makes it sound hopeless. But it isn't, it is an absolute delight about loneliness, getting old and losing it.
And I'm sure a Frank Lloyd Wright house has a bit of a role aswell.

Half the reason is that I have one, however, these are just about perfection. Size, fit, legibility and look all 10 out 10. Thinking about selling my Speedmaster and getting a two tone one and a chronograph one.

@ChasnotRobert I've always put tow bars on my cars. Last three were A2, Swift and now my Ignis. With the weights you have suggested doesn't really matter the car.

Watched Amelie again last night for a bit of relaxation. I get more out if it everytime I view. One of the best movies ever made.

Holy fuck Whiplash is intense

Watched this last night. Spot on about intense. Enjoyed it, almost feels voyeuristic watching someones pain. JK Simmons is amazing. There is a 10th anniversary, that may be showing on the big screen. Don't think I could watch it that closely.

It's all about frame of mind and expectations when you sit down to watch something. There are not many things I go in to blind, its always after reading a review or getting a recommendation. So sitting down to watch Ludwig, i wanted light humour, thoughtless fill for 40mins or so where it wouldn't matter if I was disturbed. It fulfilled my expectations, so job done.
I watch quite a lot of 'Walter Presents' on All 4, there my expectations are high and I can be thrilled and let down in equal measure by it's offerings.

It's a good job you don't watch any science fiction.

It was from an iso, didn't try too hard to remove it. Might leave it a scare family with it when they come to use computer.

Previous to asking on here I installed office 97, that loaded fine. Now stuck with a sidebar and wont uninstall. Needs a disk and I installed from a mounted drive.

This poor chap was stuck in a drain at road level. Died of hypothermia.

All sorted now thanks. Some of the tables were from 1994 so happy they have opened ok. Now just looking to see if it can be uploaded via sharepoint.

First thing I'd try though is a current version of Access, it still opens mdb files

Thanks, i've literally spent hours messing and researching and everything pointed towards trouble. Then this, downloaded and opened straight up.

Wonder now if i should save as a later version, but it does work perfectly as it is.

Late 1990s I'm doing family history and acquired loads of data from censuses, BDMs, parish records etc. I put all the data in to a Access database *.mdb file.
25+ years later I want to be able to use it again. I can open the tables separately with MDB Viewer Plus so all is not lost and data is still available. It would be nice to be able to open it all with 'front end' like I had previously.
If i was to obtain a copy of MS 2000 access, would it run on a windows 11 machine or do I have to sort out that virtual desktop thing ? Any other options

I've always used a 4G tablet with bluetooth keyboard for everything other than sat at my desk or phonecalls. . Wanted to upgrade, bought a Surface Pro, it's sat in a drawer, basically unused.

Puzzled, I had a Renault 5 Turbo

Excellent choice!

It's still alive, albeit SORN E399DCX

We went from the A35 to Victor 101 estate (FNW556D), the favoured seat for my sister and cousins was in the estate part sat backwards facing out the rear window.
