Eh? Won't that just blow it around? Grim. Billy cat thankfully only uses the litter tray in extremis. Amongst all the ways he is a dickhead I appreciate this gesture

Would have to somehow vaporise the stuff for that sort of money

Using Hit counts rather than result counts in a search interface and why I think I should go home by @alanfricker

Hum. Actually it looks like I can do it. As you were.

I can do it in Ovid

When you realise the implication of a search tool combining searches not result sets (can't NOT two otherwise identical searches with different limiters applied to find the uniques). Is this normal?

Night time shot of a 5k race on the road circuit of the olympic velo park. Runner in shot wearing Loughton AC vest and extremely ugly shoes. Hard to recognise them as they ARE GOING SO FAST!

Donald Trump says the US has seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. The type of action not befitting a FIFA Peace Prize winner.

It isn't a bad idea to be fair - not everyone drinks but people inviting you for food might well have use for good olive oil

As long as they use the advanced search screen if they are trying to do any fancy combining search terms they should be ok!

Odd the things you can buy and those you cannot. A childhood spent doing a last mega shop of things not available in the UK, that now are trivial to find, before getting on the ferry back from France in the summer

I'll still send some - just not as many as once (and certainly nothing like the card mission my parents used to go on in the 80s. I am choosing to think of the cards as gifts - a bit of care, thought and love

Turns out you will have the issue too. Stick a quick limiter on. Search for something. Then go to Recent Activity and try and run another search. You won't get any results and the search won't be recorded. Same behaviour on any of the MyDashboard search boxes if you have limits applied.

You likely have issue too. Stick a quick limiter on. Search for something. Go to Recent Activity and try and run another search. You won't get any results and search won't be recorded. Same behaviour on any of MyDashboard search boxes if you have limits applied. Not tested as your EDS wants login

Quite the work out. Completely failed to have a chat with you at the Christmas thing - was interested in your routes to Harlow project!
