OMFG thanks Also gave me an excuse to read Charlie Brooker's latest column

I learned that the format of wine labels is set by law. http://www.wine-searcher.com/wine-label.htm

By the way, that web page isn't worth reading

I've been doing that for a decade! Where have you been hiding? I've mentioned it on the forums several times as well.

I'm not sure that even my body could cope with the influx of sugar that that would necessitate.
As much as I like Jelly Babies, I'd rather not die attempting the above.

Brooker's brilliant, and HMV do his books for £3 each usually



It's clearly new to us, and I only joined the Dennis forums (if that's what you mean) about 2 years ago, if it's even that long... I also didn't read quite every thread they had

Oi! You learnt that edd speaks sense! (8-p)

That the frame counter on one of my cameras isn't working properly. Last night it was telling me I'd only shot between 24-30 frames, when in fact getting the rolls back today, I'd done 38 on both rolls.

The terms for different types of window:

Double-hung sash window
This sash window is the traditional style of window in the USA, and many other places that were formerly colonized by the UK, with two parts (sashes) that overlap slightly and slide up and down inside the frame. The two parts are not necessarily the same size. Nowadays, most new double-hung sash windows use spring balances to support the sashes, but traditionally, counterweights held in boxes either side of the window were used. These were and are attached to the sashes using pulleys of either braided cord or, later, purpose-made chain. Double-hung sash windows were traditionally often fitted with shutters. Sash windows may be fitted with simplex hinges which allow the window to be locked into hinges on one side, while the rope on the other side is detached, allowing the window to be opened for escape or cleaning.

Single-hung sash window
One sash is movable (usually the bottom one) and the other fixed. This is the earlier form of sliding sash window, and is also cheaper.

Horizontal sliding sash window
Has two or more sashes that overlap slightly but slide horizontally within the frame. In the UK, these are sometimes called Yorkshire sash windows, presumably because of their traditional use in that county.

Casement window
A window with a hinged sash that swings in or out like a door comprising either a side-hung, top-hung (also called "awning window"; see below), or occasionally bottom-hung sash or a combination of these types, sometimes with fixed panels on one or more sides of the sash. In the USA these are usually opened using a crank, but in Europe they tend to use projection friction stays and espagnolette locking. Formerly, plain hinges were used with a casement stay. Handing applies to casement windows to determine direction of swing. The casement window is the dominant type now found in the UK and much of Europe.

Awning window
An awning window is a casement window that is hung horizontally, hinged on top, so that it swings outward like an awning.

Hopper window
A hopper window is a bottom hung casement window that opens similar to a draw bridge typically opening to the outside.

Tilt and slide window
A window (more usually a door-sized window) where the sash tilts inwards at the top and then slides horizontally behind the fixed pane.

Tilt and turn window
A window which can either tilt inwards at the top, or can open inwards hinged at the side.

Transom window
A window above a door; in an exterior door the transom window is often fixed, in an interior door it can open either by hinges at top or bottom, or rotate on hinges. It provided ventilation before forced air heating and cooling. A a fan-shaped transom is known as a fanlight, especially in the British Isles.

Jalousie window
Also known as a louvered window, the jalousie window consists of parallel slats of glass or acrylic that open and close like a Venetian blind, usually using a crank or a lever. They are used extensively in tropical architecture. A jalousie door is a door with a jalousie window.

Clerestory window
A window set in a roof structure or high in a wall, used for daylighting.

Skylight
A flat or sloped window used for daylighting, built into a roof structure that is out of reach.

Roof window
A sloped window used for daylighting, built into a roof structure that is within reach.

Roof lantern
A roof lantern is a multi-paned glass structure, resembling a small building, built on a roof for day or moon light. Sometimes includes an additional clerestory. May also be called a cupola.

Bay window
A multi-panel window, with at least three panels set at different angles to create a protrusion from the wall line.

Oriel window
A window with many panels. It is most often seen in Tudor-style houses and monasteries. An oriel window projects from the wall and does not extend to the ground. Oriel windows originated as a form of porch. They are often supported by brackets or corbels. Buildings in the Gothic Revival style often have oriell windows.

Church window
A window that cannot be opened, whose function is limited to allowing light to enter (Unlike an unfixed window, which can open and close). Clerestory windows are often fixed. Transom windows may be fixed or operable.

Picture window
A very large fixed window in a wall, typically without glazing bars, or glazed with only perfunctory glazing bars near the edge of the window. Picture windows are intended to provide an unimpeded view, as if framing a picture.

Multi-lit window
A window glazed with small panes of glass separated by wooden or lead "glazing bars", or "muntins", arranged in a decorative "glazing pattern" often dictated by the architectural style at use. Due to the historic unavailability of large panes of glass, this was the prevailing style of window until the beginning of the twentieth century, and is traditionally still used today.

You cannot transfer any files over 3mb from a blackberry (don't ask how long it took me to find out or how much cursing and slamming the blackberry on the desk occured)

Champagne is made with red grapes.

Forensic pathologists love to show you gruesome pictures from their work.

I've been using that for several years, probably since someone told me about it on the old forums. It also works on a laptop touchpad if you click left and right buttons at the same time.

Must give that a go...
