Glad I'm not the only oneOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostYup
No, I'm the same. I never get rid of a book - I've even got a Maeve Binchy that an old lady gave me when I worked for Age Concern many years ago. I'll never read it, but I still have it
I think it's something to do with my Dad - he used to be a writer, and brought us up to treasure books. When we moved from Liverpool (when I was nine), the removal men had to go back to the depot to get more tea chests - they said they'd never seen a family with so many books before

Have you decided what it's to be Nick?Originally posted by NickFitz View PostF&C FTW!
I'm not sure what to have today - I might just have a snack, then hit the chippy for their BBQ ribs and chips after the pub.
Mind you, they're not making the BBQ sauce as well as they used to - the flavours aren't balanced properly
A few years ago I ran into the then-manager of the chippy in a pub and he revealed the secret recipe to me. Unfortunately I can only remember about half of it

Nothing beats a good portion of fish and chips.Originally posted by voodooflux View PostJust finished ours
Lady VF had to try an alternate chippy as there was a large, unmoving queue at the usual one. I think we may visit the alternate one again - it was very good, and much better than the last time we went there.That boy go raaaaaaa

While my laptop is still away having various bits of surgery I'm without my full list of Internet bookmarks during the day, and as a result I'm skipping some sites that I usually visit. One in particular is Smashing Magazine which seems to consistently post quality articles on web design, graphic design, photography, etc. There are some reals gems on there, and some of the photography showcases are stunning.
60 Beautiful Examples Of Night Photography is well worth a look.Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment

COBOLOriginally posted by voodooflux View PostWe recently had a bit of a clear out, and I decided to get rid of some books at long last to make space for more Lego models on my shelves
Sadly I called time on my Windows 3.0 copy of Petzold, and the original Kruglinksi (sadly no longer with us) Inside Visual C++. I had no such qualms about ditching a couple of COBOL books I had since university though.
I once killed an old graphics card whilst trying to mess around with Assembly language, I think I peeked when I should have poked!Originally posted by NickFitz View PostPhilistine!
If I was to take that attitude, I'd be getting rid of such gems as Assembly Language Programming for the BBC Microcomputer and the Digital Equipment Corporation Small Computer Handbook 1967*, which I could never do
* That's "small" as in "not much bigger than a fridge"
