Is this in Soton or did you move to Brighton?

 

Australian cricketer Phil Hughes in induced coma after surgery following being hit by a bouncer in a domestic match. He needed CPR on the pitch. Hope he recovers well.

 

Tolkein based Quenya, the High-Elvish language, on Finnish so you're spot on LTL. The othe Elvish tongue, Sindarin, was based on Welsh.

 

Tolkein was brilliant with languages. I have always been interested in words and their origins. English often has many words for the same thing where other languages have one or two and I am often delighted when I see a word in a language I don't know and recognise it by it's similarity to an archaic English word. That is one reason I loved Tolkein...he made things up which somehow seemed strangely familiar...so you could believe in his imaginary world.

Nice...... a news crew in Ferguson were screaming to police a women was having a heart attack. They carried her over to the police... Who then tear gased them....

 

God bless America.

 

Ah, well I didn't know that, thank you Chilcs. No great surprise but a nice bit of trivia to have to hand anyhow!

 

Interesting one for Beefy. On my Galaxy S2 I have the last compatible OS, Jelly Bean, I believe. On various services that I don't use I've put them back to their factory default, that is, no updates. I did this once about a year ago. Yet, even though I have not updated those services or directly used them, when I have defaulted them again [just as an experiment] I have relieved storage space on the phone. Naughty Android..!

EDIT: Just completed returning the Samsung and Android services that I don't use back to their factory defaults [remember, I did this once before and have never updated them since] and have gone from 223Mbs of storage space left to over 1.0Gb. Very naughty.

 

Yeah most apps auto update now, even if the latest up date hardly works (YouTube).

 

So instead of watching what sounds like an awful game, I was on the other end of the camera here taking a photo of Fable and.....who?

(I'm amazed at the amount of people who don't know who this is, considering everything he's done).
