I can often spot English actors putting on an American accent. Then I look up the actor to see if he's English or American. I was surprised to learn that Carey Elwes is American. He was very convincing in Princess Bride and other movies.


Or John Wayne as the centurion at the crucifixion in The Greatest Story Ever Told. "Surely this maaaan was the son of God". That one is a classic.

Of course, despite being a fan of his movies, my assertion is the John Wayne never acted a day in his life. He played John Wayne in every movie he made!

By the way, Geordieland (Newcastle) is a perfect starting point for exploring Hadrian's Wall, the castles of Northumberland, Holy Island and many abbeys that are still standing in ruins. Nothing against the people living there at all, but I wish I could understand them when they speak.


My family home is about a mile from Wallsend, which of course is where Hadrian's Wall ends. Or starts, depending on your perspective!

I've been all over England, Scotland and Ireland. I've heard many accents and pronunciations and also colloquialisms that don't transfer to other locations. Take "Geordie" in Newcastle. It almost qualifies as a dialect rather than an accent.


Ah, Geordieland... God's country. I have been in the US for more than 30 years, but people still say I talk funny... Course, when I go back for a visit, everyone thinks I talk 'merkin!

You can change or remove the password from a startup in: settings/accounts/sign-in options/password and choose “never”. There also may be a password when awakening from the screen saver which can be changed in control panel/display/password protect the screen saver and turn it off.


I tried this, and have spent several hours trying to get back into my PC... I don't have a "never" option at that point, only for the screen saver resume. I removed the PIN setting, and tried to reboot. It prompted me for a password, which of course, I don't have. After jumping through hoops for a while, I clicked on "forgot my password". It offered to text a code to my landline phone, or to email it to my primary email account - which I only access through the PC...

Ok, I was finally able to access my comcast account using my phone, but of course I didn't have a password for that either - stored on the PC in LastPass. So, I had to have them phone me with a code to reset my password, so that I could gain access to email and get to the message with the code to reset windows...

After that scare, the first thing I did was to reset the PIN code! I can live with that!

After a Windows update a couple of months ago, I had to start using a password to log onto my computer. What's strange is that I don't always need it. I think that it wants a password only when I do a complete Shut Down, rather than just Hibernate. That doesn't sound right, though.

Today, my password would not work. I know I typed it correctly, but it eventually asked if I wanted to change it, so I did. At one time, I didn't need a Windows password, but I can't get back to that state. I really don't like passwords.

I hate having to use a password on my PC - I live alone, so if someone has access to my computer, that is the least of my worries! I tried to use my army serial number as a password (8 digits), but it said that wasn't secure enough. Then it offered me the option of using a 4-digit PIN!

I have an arrangement with the king of the spiders. If I don't see his subjects, then I won't kill them...

If you are one of the three lucky people to land one, I daresay in a few year's time...and it doesn't clock any miles, you could sell it on for a tidy profit!


They used to say (many years ago now...) that you could own new Rolls Royces for ever, without spending multiple fortunes on them - just a single fortune. The trick was to order a new car from them. They had a 2-year waiting list. At the end of the wait, the day you pick up your new car, you order another one. When *that* one comes along, you could sell the previous one for more than the cost of the new one, to people who would pay over the odds to avoid having to wait for the 2 years.

I have no idea if that would still apply...

It feels to me that the house in the 2nd shot is too OOF... It is more of a blur than anything else. I think it would look better with the house from the 1st shot and the flower from the 2nd.

$9.54 per U.K. gallon here.


Yeah, I checked on my last visit home. You are paying about the same for a liter as we are for a gallon... That's a dinky US gallon, which I believe is 4 liters.
