You might need to spend a lot of money on an SLR, and a suitably large lens, if you're wanting decent shots at airshows. Second hand would be the obvious option A compromise might be a super zoom bridge camera. The sensor isn't as good as an SLR but the built in zoom lenses are insane. Mine (Nikon p...

The ChatGPT answer, whilst correct that A is not solvable in the original picture, provides failed logic for coming to that conclusion. Yellow is not guaranteed to be always opposite white and the assumption that it is, maybe because that's the current standard for a Rubik cube, is why AI answers sh...

Croydon Claret

My Rubik cube record is 47 seconds so this is an interesting question. As presented in your image they're all impossible unless you allow for some non standard cube that has multiple faces, out of view, with the same colours. But that would make them all possible to solve so is not the answer The si...

Croydon Claret · Re: 2025/26 Premier league season Food Count 16/08/2025 Spuds away Cheers.

Cheers.

Croydon Claret

Here we go again, and the perfect choice

And starting as you mean to go on with your fancy lah de dah decimal places scales

I reckon 20 spuds and 6.8 bag weight

Cheers

Croydon Claret

I'll do Liverpool on 14/09

Can I make a proposal/suggestion - points for doing a food count be increased to 5? Perhaps with a max limit on how many counts you can do in a season, to prevent volunteering for every game

Hi Croydon, thanks, thats really informative.

You're most welcome

Croydon Claret

Why would anyone do that? They're asking for trouble :roll: Not quite the same but when I was working at Lloyds in Burnley I recovered a cash point card that had been swallowed by the machine. The owner had written the PIN number on a piece of paper and sellotaped it to the card🤦‍♀️. We refused to ...

Croydon Claret

Is this correct? For example.... I could be logged into my phone- its gets stolen from my hand by some one on one of those bl**dy E-bikes in a balaclava (don't get me started) But they'd still need to log onto my online banking... which they can't do ? So where's the value in that? Im by no means a...

Croydon Claret

Where’s the logic in this? Someone would need to steal your password to log into your online banking, regardless of whether the app is installed on your phone or not. If they can access your phone then they can access your email account. And having access to your email allows them to do a password ...

Croydon Claret

I don't have the stats for the entire country but in London and average of 192 phones are stolen every day. The value isn't in the phone itself, it's in the data/apps they can access if the phone is e.g. snatching it out of your hand whilst you're using it. The thieves are specifically trying to tar...

Yeah we were thinking of Dachau as well. We are both interested in war history so the Third Reich tour is another good shout. I might need to go back.. No worries. The reason I suggested doing it by yourself was because I found the guided tour to be incredibly rushed. We were marched past many impo...

Croydon Claret

The Third Reich tour is very good if you're interested in war history. A day trip to Dachau concentration camp is also possible, depending on appetite. (You can easily do it yourself by getting the Nuremberg train to Dachau. There's then a very small bus terminus with a dedicated shuttle to the camp...

I had the same experience earlier this year. A little research showed that they have been compromised for a number of years.

Despite them being aware of this vulnerability they do nothing about it.

Safer to stop booking with them, there are plenty of other options

You can fly in the Canadian one for approx 20 mins, I think it’s about $4000 cad. Sells out very quickly though.

They give you an hour if you fly it in Canada. $4000 CAD for an hour is very cheap, for a warbird flight. It was £4000 for 20 minutes when it was over here.

Croydon Claret

I managed to sweet talk the flight engineer into letting me go inside it a few years ago whilst it was parked up at Bournemouth airport. This was like the golden ticket as civies aren't normally allowed anywhere near it. It's still in full WW2 specification inside, with a fully working turret and lo...

how is it offside after it comes off a City player ?

I can't remember the specific sequence of events that led to the goal but if it's an unintentional deflection then the offside decision still stands
