Climbing Big Ben?

Linked PDF still shows Derek as participant, unless link/PDF still pending update. Sorry, my fault. I dragged from the wrong directory into my FTP client. Should be good now. Please re-check. Names good. Are glass labels supposed to be columns of 13? (I thought 12 on label sheets?). Tasting note sh...

The problem is that Julian hasn't actually given me a good reason for why it's incorrect. Compare and contrast: • Fine ales from Isle of Skye • Fine ales from ‘Isle of Skye’ What is the purpose of the quotation marks in the latter? I could have understood ‟Fine Isle-of-Skye ales”, as a compound ad...

I'm sure we could run one of those for £1000/head

Not an apostrophe crime, but offensive to those who see these things. "We found that nearly half of the co-educational state-funded schools we looked are actually doing worse than average," explained Clare Thomson, curriculum and diversity manager at the Institute of Physics. There are at...

On 19th November JDAW, AHB, DRT and one other person were in Westminster for a couple of hours in the late afternoon. Why?

Drinking port with a visiting Symington family member to celebrate the donation by the Symingtons of a new Ambulance to a Douro valley fire brigade?

Any news?

How about /StickyLabelsAllowAcrossPages which when defined as true works as currently, but when false you calculate how many attendees' labels will fit on one page, and then pads the rest? Padding could be after, or equally spaced between (the latter woul provide for RAYC's request.

It's not unknown for us to have events on successive nights. I had read the 60v63 as being "on the back of the BFT", i.e. the evening following (rather than the Wed 24th suggested later in the thread) I learnt my lesson last year. Post-BFT I’ll be fit for, at most, two pints of ale, and t...

@jdaw - did you notice that something seems to have gone wrong with the names along the top of the "what is it?" page, either orientation, font size or both? No. What’s wrong? The code tries to save space by putting the horizontally, unless that is too much of a squeeze, when it flips to ...

If this is replacement, rather than as well as the 60vs63, then I'm in also.

Had Dirk already been invited and accepted? If so, the prior arrangement should probably stand. if not, could we do it the week / two weeks before or after? I asked Dirk if he could make that date for the 91-92 and he couldn't. Is that because he thinks he is at the ’60-’63? I presume he would ask ...

is it a book of Californian orthopaedic surgeons? No, strangely enough a book containing a Persian glossary lacks any mention of California, orthopaedics or surgeons A directory of Bakersfield orthopaedic surgeons however does by coincidence start with Hazrat and end with Yakdan :shock: Perhaps a b...

I updated my signature. The world is a better place. Fear not, you will never be sent to the Apostrophe Crimes thread as your first language is not English. I am surprised that Phil did not spot that, he is normally very observant. :roll: Your quote did not say where it came from - I had no idea it...

I agree with Derek, but as I am unlikely to be able to attend, can be ignored. Would also require considerable co-ordination.

How should this be parameterised? I'm going to have to read the manual to understand the current parameters... One simple suggestion could be: /StickyLabelPadWithBlank true def % true, false /StickyLabelPadLen 12 def /StickyLabelPadAfter odd def % odd, even, all, none This would allow addition of p...

Should it not be "thy Port"?

yes. Was this intended to be in the crimes thread?

Shooting yourself in the foot?

This strange article includes the following interesting snippet Indeed, what a childish dog’s breakfast. And some of them appear to have been adults! Careful - you'll have the artists' guild round with the hammers. Next thing you know, you'll be making derogatory comments about the installation I s...

I cannot find a post where Owen guessed Talisker. Unless someone can point me to it the next question belongs to SCP-DFF.

His first guess at 00:48 (within 1 minute of your question!)

Lagavulin.
If no, is it an Islay?

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that I will be unable to join you at The Bell as I will be confined to barracks following knee surgery. Am sorry to hear that, especially since you also missed last year's event. Hopefully you will be making up for it in the new year; in the meantime...
