Quite the opposite actually. Speaking for myself, I'm a paid up member of the pull yourself together and get on with it brigade. However, moving swiftly on and posting to revert this back to the thread's header title:.............. People who say bath bombs are relaxing should try walking home...

Not sure about that. Cats don't seem stressed when they tear a bird to pieces, then amble off totally unconcerned, leaving the ground carpeted in feathers. The lion that mauled a teenager to death in Brazil this week didn't look stressed. Every animal is stressed at one time or another. Stress...

The people who can talk cat and claim to understand them, believe the cats mistake the courgette for a snake. Maybe even if they've never seen a snake. After seeing this I'd need to test this if I ever go to a house with cats. Couldn't help myself🤣

Taking Wikipedia as correct is pretty much the same as believing that news reports from the BBC are factual and not adjusted to suit their own agendas, objectives and opinions. Also similar to believing climate reports in the Guardian, or from government sources.

In your position I'd go back and say you'd rather not do it. Or make up so excuse. Or simply tell him that you cannot put your name to the design he requires. It does appear that you have little enthusiasm in you doing the work and that is essential. You could spend a huge amount of your own...

I read about it in "The West Australian" a Perth WA newspaper, in the last fortnight. (maybe do a search?) From memory the Liberal Party will extend dates. I think that the Liberal Party is not in power but these things change, as they will in Britain in 2019. The coal fired power stations from...

Australia is winding back on its NetZero plans. Retaining some coal fired power stations and planning gas powered generators. Reason is cost and the wisdom of not wanting to be waste money on being leader. This is a land of sun and wind. In 2018 Google used more electricity as a company than...

As in the World over hunter gatherers came before farmers. The generally accepted opinion is that whilst agriculture began in Asia Minor the methods were then quickly transferred from there. There is no sound information that those farmers moved and colonised various countries, including...

Prior to (end of the last major ice age) around 6,500 to 8,000 years ago Britain was joined to Europe, so people would have wandered back and forth. An area now under the North Sea now given the name Doggerland no doubt after Dogger Bank a shallow area in the North Sea. Early Britons were...

Changing management predicts so much but often gives so little. I have lost count of the number of companies that took 50 years to get to where they were and were then destroyed in less than five with a takeover.

I have a comprehensive system written for structural fabrication that does just that. It controls manufacturing, finishes, delivery notes, labour costs, and drawing issue including revisions, approval and variation orders etc. Just not sure how I can pass it on as I'm retired and don't want to...

Years ago, back in the olden days speed was a real issue to me with Access. Then I read abut the permanent connection and it wasn't a problem from that day on. Windows97 was probably the first OS where database systems benefited (since C-DOS). Before that some thought that to pull a record 3 to...

I wonder what the primary object of this is. There is an easy foolproof solution to retaining and not losing your latest version of an Access application and that is called a sound backup system. A start would be maybe not keeping all of your backups in a drawer under the computer. Then advance...
