Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Not yet listened to it as I am a prolific soundtrack purchaser. At the moment I have in the range of 60-70 soundtracks to play. I'm a big John Barry fan and have been buying up his back catalogue. Have you heard John Williams score to Catch Me If You Can? Love the opening credit tune. [ more ]

What was/is your best age?
Jen-StarJen-Star
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I have never considered it, but I only remember earlier years in snatches or fragments of events. I am sentimental about events in time, especially music or film related, but cannot recall a long stretch of my life where I would say "wow, that was a great period of my life". I do think that I don't get enough out of life. I have been too focused on keeping a job and not really don't the things others have for example I don't think I have had a proper holiday since 1999. A bit like GJ I am... [ more ]

Carnelian Whatever happens to the country, it's never the fault of the Tories. That party is pathologically adverse to putting its hands up and admitting its failings. Even in the 90s after years of office that party was still blaming the 1960s and early 70s for all society's ills. No matter how long they're in power, it's NEVER their fault! If the Tories win in 2020, come 2025 everything wrong with the country will still be spun as Labour's fault. The last global downturn, was all Gordon Brown's... [ more ]

Former Member I've just gone for a Sony Z3 (after having a Sammy). I really wanted a Z5 but waaaay out of my price league. If I'd been working I might have considered it though. and also on the strength of a small pension that I can cash in now I'm 55. I'm gonna pay my debts off with it and this phone is a present to myself [ more ]

Rexi Ahahaha! I recognise the emotion behind those words! We usd to have people whose garden backed onto ours who had a yappy dog. On and on and on and on, this bloody dog went yap yap flipping yap. I used to phone the people up and ask if they were okay as their dog had been yapping outside for an hour and I thought it might have been trying to get my attention because they had maybe collapsed or something. Once I went round there at midnight in my dressing gown to check on them because 'no one... [ more ]

Novelist Harper Lee

Eugene's Lair I think that's very wise, Madame. I've been trawling through a lot of old copies of Private Eye recently, and they pointed out in their review of "Go Set a Watchman" that there were good reasons why it wasn't published at the time. When Lee showed her manuscript to an editor, he was encouraging but told her that the best bits were the main character's flashbacks to her childhood, and if she reworked these on their own she could create something really good. That rework became "To Kill a ... [ more ]
Madame Arcati I've read 'To Kill a Mockingbird' many times and it remains one of my favourite reads. I didn't read 'Go Set a Watchman' when it was published recently and don't think I ever will now. Atticus Finch is one of my literary heroes and I prefer to think of him as he was in 'Mockingbird'. RIP, Harper Lee [ more ]

Eurovision Song Contest voting rules changed
El LoroEl Loro
Eugene's Lair Not really, TBH. It may be a bit of a cop-out, but it's probably unsalvageable now, and we can never return to anything remotely close to the song contest it started off as. I think it's impossible not to have public voting now - it's pretty-much expected nowadays, and of course it brings in lots of money. Besides: the rot set in long before big changes such as the introduction of public voting, or the huge expansion due to old Eastern Bloc countries. My real beef is with the Eurovision... [ more ]
Former Member Do you have any suggestions to combat this then EL? I don't know what's the best way to deal with it [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Hmmm... I was reading this earlier today, and I can't help feeling that although it sounds a good idea on paper, I think it will open the Eurovision up to even more controversy than usual. Firstly, the mass point awarding at the end is likely to cause big reversals due to differences between jury and audience views - which could cause accusations of rigging. Also the fact that the breakdown of national audience voting will be effectively hidden (which I suspect is intentional ) means that... [ more ]

The People v OJ Simpson

Eugene's Lair I don't know about being a "catch all", but - as with most mental illness - it does sound like a spectrum . It's also more difficult to diagnose than I'd realised: look at the problems they had diagnosing Fry himself, and I was surprised to find it can often take 8 years to reach a formal diagnosis.

El Loro EC, I only use Winzip with one client at that client's insistence. We use a password which changes of around 17 characters. The encrypted zipped file is encrypted with 256 bit AES. We use Winzip itself rather than one of the free clones. Those are more likely to use Zip 2.0 for encryption and it's those which are easier to crack. I do have to pay each year for that Winzip but when I'm dealing with confidential information security is more important. [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I would avoid winzip type applications, a lot of them seem to be easily cracked. Go for something like veracrypt. It works well and can be sent in a portable version to your recipient. It is also free (open source). [ more ]
El Loro Not directly related, bu I think the EU in in the process of implementing a directive whereby business etc have to ensure that any confidential information they send in an email is sent on a secure basis. When I send confidential documents to my clients I use either password protected Winzipped files or use a secure portal which has been developed by Iris for the use of accountants and their clients. It's a bit like Dropbox but more secure. [ more ]

The British Academy Film Awards
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Eugene's Lair I tend to be torn with movie awards ceremonies: I'm interested in the results, but usually can't be bothered watching the ceremony itself. (Perhaps significantly, I used to watch the ceremonies back in the days when I usually hadn't seen many of the films up for nomination.) I finally managed to see "Trumbo" on Saturday", so of the "big" awards (Best Film, Best Director, and the 4 acting awards) the only BAFTA-nominated films I haven't seen are "The Lobster" (nominated for Outstanding...

For anyone who has to complete tax returns and the new quarterly digital reporting
El LoroEl Loro
El Loro In the example shown above in the Who will report? section it says that interest will not be allowable against rental income. I don't know why that's the case as interest is allowable at present. I think it's to do with the change from April 2017 in the way that interest is claimable by landlords. Over a period of 4 years, the amount of tax relief will be reduced from the landlord's top rate of tax down to the basic rate of 20%. the tax relief will be given as a deduction from their tax bill...
