One for a bit of a laugh is http://www.google.com/ads/preferences this will tell you what google thinks you are, in terms of gender and age.
This thing also shows your interests and is used to send you appropriate advertising, it doesn’t change the amount of advertising you see online, just the content of the advertisements.
If for instance you get ads for geek 2 geek “finally a dating site for geeks” you may wish to loosen up a bit as you surf the web as this advertising has been directed towards you because of the sites you have been visiting.
I will endeavour to ramble on about this and that during the day, avoiding the words effected and affected, I am considering going on an adult literacy course to make up for missing my primary school education due to being disabled.
Call that snow - why when I lived in Canada.........
ReplyDeleteYes John, a light dusting... when it's banked 6 foot up against the house and you can either cut your way out of the front door or just flop out of a first floor window then you can call it snow.
ReplyDeleteThe Loop was running today but I hear cut out Broadstairs High Street and Ramsgate Harbour and was running a fair bit slower than schedule.
ReplyDeleteRob, I remember my first winter in Ottawa. The snow was coming and I had promised myself that I would bring in the garden furniture tomorrow morning. However, it snowed overnight and I did not see the garden furniture again until the thaw in April. One snowfall had completely buried the table and chairs.
ReplyDeleteI remember one winter when we were getting daytime highs of minus 30C.
Yet the days were mostly still, the air was dry with the sun shining in a clear blue sky. It was beautiful.
The roads were always clear, the trains, buses and planes carried on as normal - nothing stopped. Gas and electricity were cheap, as was the winter clothing.
I went out today wearing my Canadian parka. I did not really need it but it brought back happy memories.
Looks like from your photographs that a new piece of modern art has been errected on the Royal Sands promanade. Is there a name for it and in years to come will it rival Moores sculptor park?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Michael, Thanks
ReplyDeleteYour picture of the piles for the new hotel/penthouses, could almost be mistaken for some sort of Gormley-esque art project - almost quite dramatic, in an industrial sense...
