      Wonder if choosing a group in the "To" field post to the group AND restrict visibility?

      £78 for a return ticket from London to Cleethorpes. I'm sure I did the same trip last year for less than half that amount.

        @davidmarsden I find that particular page of the train line useful. Easier than parsing it all manually.

        @rpcutts Just tried it again. I could save £1 not including any booking fee and have to wait for trains for an extra three hours.

        @kevingranade I think that's where he went wrong - 'trying to get a computer vision system talkiing'. Should have concentrated on 'seeing'.

        Weird. The 'Refresh' icon isn't even available to be dragged anywhere in Firefox 4. Maybe I am the only person in the universe using it.

        I hope the simple task of fixing this URL in !yakshaving doesn't end up in a bout of !yakshaving. The recursion would just do my head in.

              @b1ackcr0w hope you have more luck with re-stringing your guitar than I did mine. Took me two weeks of !yakshaving. Worth it in the end :-)

            Just finished sanding my saddle. Sounds nice even with old strings on it to test it out. Action a little high still, perhaps. !yakshaving

              Had to tie two rusty old G-strings together otherwise it would have been all guitar and #nopants.

              @jwildeboer I don't think OpenShot is in the F14 repos or does video capture but if I need to do non-trivial editing I will download it. Thx

            New saddle has arrived, but like me, it's too fat to fit. Now I need to procure some 240 to 600 grit sandpaper. !YakShaving
