How do you block ads in Opera? That's the add-on that always sends me back to

According to the Environment Agency some defences were put in in the
90s. They were reinforced or extended between then and now and a second
set of defences was due to be installed next year.
However, as you said in the bit I snipped the rain was exceptional,
between 1 in 200 and 1 in 1000 years have been quoted and flood defences

My thoughts on this are tempered with "could I have perceived that
cyclist or pedestrian sooner if all the cars didn't have their lights
on?". I often come up "yes" to that one as well.

There was one Christmas when I happened to be on my own, so was
decorating my hall, stairs and landing, both gloss and emulsion
taking a full day per coat. ISTR that one of Fry's Potter
readings was broadcast over the entire day. I don't think I was
fully engaged, but it was a different experience, and my emulsion

I drove them for 20 years, and these days find that I am quick to
put some lights on if the visibility is at all doubtful. I know
we have been this way before, but the question I ask myself is
simply, "Could I have perceived that vehicle sooner if it had had
its lights on?" If the answer is yes, then mine go on.

Me too, but I also got one of the same size in the boot of my
Volvo 240 ;-)
The hatchback has also accommodated a 4-drawer filing cabinet
with ease, and, if I encroach on the front passenger seat, I can
fit in an Ikea Benno pack, or 3 m length of timber. I surprised
myself when two single beds, or a settee and easy chair (in both

Yes, that's part of the problem in Cockermouth, and it's why Workington was
so lightly damaged in comparison.
Cockermouth is an old market town built quite closely around the confluence
of the two rivers, the Cocker and the Derwent. There are houses right on the
rivers' edges in the town centre. When the place was first built, of course,

Mostly that. I'm an Opera user myself - which I think is written to a
higher quality than (any) IE, and is better focused (suffers less
plugin-featuritis) than Firefox, and due its tiny market share, is
less targeted by the bad guys than both of them. Chrome is rather nice

Loss of broadbean was a wrench, mind. Cloud Computing has much to

Yes.
I've been moving a lot of stuff around recently.
Tumble drier, wahing machine, dish washer size applicances fit in our
little Ford Fiesta no problem.
Yesterday I carried a pack of four 8ft planks from Homebase (and one
of their Children-in-need fruit cakes) in the Fiesta.

Yes, such things are often a disappointment. (I bet it didn't have any
of the Red Rock cider commercials either.)
You could try the Sony (I think) website, it might be there.
