    Much of my older software didn't function in windows 10, hence, I gave the laptop to my daughter after 2 days..

    should have persisted further maybe..

     

    Tried a dual boot with windows 7 again failure, never had issues previously, Photoshop was unreadable, found a workaround but resolution was poor, tried external monitor dropped to 768 again useless.

    I came to the conclusion that it's not only the HD screen, but also the graphics cards inflexibility..

    One program I did get to work was Cool Edit Pro! 2003, this didn't work in windows 7, it later became Adobe Audition at the time of windows 7.

    Has anybody else had backwards compatibility issues with windows 10?

    and HD screens?

    been sent a a clip of Trumps spiritual advisor praying for victory. Apparently angels from Africa and South America are on their way

     

    This why i detest Social media fake news..

    Creates the impression that there is a 'shaman' like character within the White House today looking to a higher divinity.

     

    This video is from last March!!

    Just shows that there is an element of all inclusiveness....

     

    Has anybody watched any of the left evangelist's?..no different.

    Some of the Black Lives Matter brigade would give her a run for her money!

    The Obama quote is no longer relevant.  He was trying, quite rightly in my view, to signal the 'bleeding obvious

     

    How wonderfully appropriate..

    Why has he crawled from under his stone, strangely in the last week?

    While I understand people don't like Trump, me included...

    Amazed that UK people here favour .a reduced bargaining chip with the EU...

    Somebody who calls Boris a Trump Clone, and Obama,

    with his back of the queue...

    We are stuck with a Tory government for a 4 years plus...

    Anybody else had a bet on the US outcome? Was offered a cash out on Skybet but after watching Sky news though the night, with their edited bias on interviews I"ll keep on sweating! 

     

    On a much lighter note, do they have flavoured crisp"s eg C&O, Salt and vinegar, in the southern states of the US nowdays?

    Anybody recall this?

    Really good film if i remember..

    Apologies, in advance if my wires are crossed!

    Wasn't the first Bond Bob Holness (Sp), it was a pub quiz chestnut in the eighties!

    Wasn't a Bond film fan, hence my favourite was Moore, the Croc's & tennis in the Rickshaw were classic.

    Connery obviously had a lot more presence, wasn't he in Hell Drivers? Loved that as a child.

    No need to get all red lettered Stuart, I am telling you, that St Paul"s existed In the 1850's, so time for a rethink my end, graveyard was Foxhill however...

    Why does a church post a link with very little info & history?

    Regarding the pathway..the original question.was the steps...

    Great info Stuart, I have limited resources, no internet, if I find the answer I will.post.

    Havent been here since 1995, Property, singular? In the eighties it was a row of houses on the right, another right down the steps to Carlton Road. Wasn't there a seating bench at the bottom?

    Think the steps purpose was maybe to provide access to the graveyard, when St Paul's was built, it extended to what became the bottom end of Foxhill Rd. Couple of my relatives buried there in the 1850's.

     

    I remember a similar set of steps, top of Phoenix Ave, took you down to Arnold Lane in Gedling roughly facing the church, was this the one with the bench...

    Trying to put what was, a little

     book for family at Christmas, I am normally very organised with files and folders, think I took too many.back up's! 

    I never found.this.

    Looking for Rolstons Yard, possibly Rowlstons Yard, Wheeler Gate, it's there in 1841, appears to be gone by '51, thought it might be 

    Left side from M&S, tracing the route of the chap doing the census, if he stopped off for a pint however, I don't blame him! 

    Can't be sure, but , the road was 

    covered by two different churches, all my ancestors were baptised & buried at St.Peter"s.

    I"ve just about given up on this one.
