What were the sixties?

They just weren't as good as the seventies.

I'll vouch for that, the sixties for me meant marriage and a couple of kids so no time for fun. The seventies meant a divorce a bit of fun and a better second marriage.

Firstly, thank you for previous welcome A Guy.

For ourselves, the 40‘s were wonderful and apart from a few 'blips' succeeding years just got better. (Got our 25p per week pension increase as well).

They just weren't as good as the seventies.

But the music was better in the 60's.

Some thunderbolts ceased out electricity for about two days.

Monsoon arrived at late, but devastatingly.

 

[Kari]

Hope you are safe Archie! Take care of yourself and yours.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep stay high and dry mate
Thought I was the only one that might need a rowboat :/

 

[Arc]

I am safe, and out of trouble now. At a time I realized how it feels ...

Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Thank God that electricity, telephone and water came back within a few hours of my water stock exhausted.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep water never know how much you need until you've nearly run out

 

[ThrashZone]

On a dry note
Just bought a new samsumg 850 250gb evo for 90.us at Newegg
I believe the mx100 crucial that they sent a used one back after the other died with Linux on it is ding to :/

So might be clean installing 7 end of next week.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut soft drink company is hoping to add a little pop to this year's presidential election by releasing two specialty sodas named for the presumptive nominees.
Avery's Beverages, a 112-year-old soda maker in New Britain, is offering Trump Tonic and Hillary Hooch — named, of course, for Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

It's the third straight presidential campaign that Avery's has offered candidate-based drinks. The company will also be conducting a highly unscientific straw poll to track the race.
Trump Tonic comes with the slogan, "Make America grape again." It's got a bolder flavor than traditional grape soda and is a bit more acidic, says Rob Metz, Avery's general manager.
Hillary Hooch is a berry soda with ingredients that Metz jokes are classified.
"It's not sure exactly what it wants to be," Metz says. "So we've got some strawberry in there, we've got some blue raspberry in there and we added a bunch of lemon for bitterness."
Metz says his company will post the results of its straw poll each week on the company's Facebook page. He says the goal is to bring a little fun and perhaps some taste into this year's unusual presidential campaign.
The sodas are sold at local grocery stores and at the facility in New Britain. The company also takes phone orders.
Avery's has a good track record, too. Barack O'Berry outsold both John McCream in 2008 and Cream de Mitt in 2012. Both were red cream sodas.
There is a bit of a twist this year. Avery's also is selling versions of both sodas with blank labels so people can write in candidates if they wish. Metz says some customers have penned in Bernie Sanders' name. Others have put None of the Above on their labels.
Tina Maldonado, of New Britain, came into Avery's on Monday and bought a half-case each of Hillary Hooch and Trump Tonic.
She says she plans to give them away to friends.
"I thought they'd make great gag gifts, which seems very appropriate for this campaign," she says

Going to be travelling through Europe with train, just wanted to ask some friendly advice about what to not do and what kind of safety can I expect in cities like Tallinn, Vilnius, Warsaw and Köln? Umm I'll be all alone which might not be that bad but still I just don't wanna get mugged or something

But if someone lives or resides or is just visiting like me in either Köln or Warszawa, it would be interesting meeting.

The Warsaw - Berlin EuroCity trains arrive in Berlin Ostbahnhof (Eastern Station), your trains further to Köln (Cologne) leave from Berlin Hbf (Hauptbahnhof, Central or Main Station), the same station ICE trains to Leipzig leave from.

Berlin Hbf - Leipzig Hbf with ICE takes 70 to 80 minutes, depending which train you take. From Leipzig you could then continue to Köln, no direct connections but you only need to change train once in Frankfurt Airport, stepping out from the train from Leipzig and just walking across the platform to next train to Köln.

That being said, if you decide for this detour, we could have a beer or seventeen in Leipzig (you buy!)

Hmm aww if I had come here sooner then this would have worked Kari but I'll take a sleeper train from Warsaw to Köln but on the other hand I will arrive early in the morning and I do have time to kill.

So you are in Leipzig, huh.
