@2000GTV and @didyw just watched Camel's 'Sight & Sound In Concert' gig from 1977 on YouTube. Shows both Andy (Ward) and Richard Sinclair at their best. What an engine room! Made me quite tearful it did, especially when I saw the late great Pete Bardens. Took me right back to them days when my whole life was ahead of me.

At least they've seen sense [if the chief exec is to be believed] but Ms McDermid's final paragraph is the important part, and certainly wasn't a RTBC in any way
An unusual RTBC for me today. I'm doing a total revamp of a website (not one I created) and there was one key feature I'm totally reliant on for the new structure. But whatever I tried I could not get it to work. I'd searched and searched for solutions and had no luck, then spotted a box for online help from the software provider. They were brilliant - made sure they understood the specifics of the problem (rather than making assumptions), spent time looking into it, explained not only the how but the why of the solution, then waited while I tried to implement it to make sure I'd understood and that it worked. An entirely positive experience (and I don't have to redesign the whole thing to accommodate the problem - hurrah!).
'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.'
My real RTBC, apart from the fact that we seem to be getting some proper winter weather here at last [thankfully] is that I treated myself to the Divine Comedy's new compilation which was out on Friday. That'll get put on the iPod [ or the ayePod as we call it here] for weekend walks. The radio's pretty woeful on weekend mornings.
It's a bit sad that this thread regularly drops rapidly down the pages at the expense of all the moaning and whining threads though. Come on folks...get with it...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Scotland won the rugby, apparently. Might make someone smile.🙂
My OH, who always believed himself to be almost 100% Scottish, had a DNA test done for his Christmas present and now finds that he has close(ish) links to people from Cornwall, Norway, Australia and (heaven protect him) Yorkshire. 😊 Some hanky panky going on somewhere. 😉
Definitely makes me smile. I think it would be rare for anybody in Europe to be 100% anything given all the marauding hordes crossing borders over the centuries and taking the women without so much as a 'by your leave'. I can certainly understand the Scandinavian connection as my own family has Scandinavian names in their history. Australia is an odd one as, other than the indigenous population, everybody has arrived from other countries.
