  1. Thanks for that. I thought I searched for archived caches at the time. I obviously didn't make a very good job of it. It looks as though it was originally down by the river, it's way up on the hillside now and some distance from its original position.
  2. I found a cache called "Bella's Box" a few months ago which doesn't seem to be listed anywhere. I had just found one called "Solly's Box" which leads me to think it might have been hidden by the same cachers. Quite a few others have found it too. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=bf984f26-c90a-490b-bffe-575fab1edee3&IID=2997c7e3-e1ec-402a-9ea3-2baf1a7aeedf
  3. Ding! 7th October 1919 - Operations stopped during World War II apart from the operations in the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean. Merged with Air France in 2004. Currently the oldest existing airline. More controversy, I see it coming.....
  4. Oooh, err! Controversy. Probably right,I would think the last thing on your mind when half the population of the town is dropping dead around you is "What did I do with that bucket of red paint?" Still on with the show.... Which is the oldest airline in the world still flying under its original name?
  5. https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?t=24324 Might be worth trying the suggestion in the 3rd post on the above thread to connect to the PC and see if that gets you any further.
  6. Ditto. Looks like a cross between a crumpet and a poppadum!
  7. I have to be quick when I find one where I know the answer! I haven't had a clue on some of the latest ones on here. With which other country did Tanganyika merge to form present day Tanzania in 1964?
  8. I know the River Avon means the River River..... I'm pretty sure I've heard that the River Tyne means River River...... So I'm guessing that Sahara Desert means Desert Desert? (or Sahara Sahara!)
  9. Arrrr, that would be a Lunnun thing which explains why I've never heard of un.... For the benefit of the uninitiated (like me) Link
  10. I had a go at installing Trixie and trying it with the scripts. If you install with: "To install a new script, download the script into the Scripts directory under the Trixie installation folder. By default, this is at Program Files\Bhelpuri\Trixie\Scripts. Then, go to the Tools menu and select "Trixie Options" (Alt-T, X). This will show the Trixie Options dialog where you can click on the "Reload Scripts" button and select Ok. This will load your new script and enable it. Note that unlike Greasemonkey where the metadata section is optional, Trixie requires a metadata section in the script." The script appears to install ok. What it doesn't appear to do, on my system at least, is work. Still, worth a try.
  11. I don't think Greasemonkey will run on IE. However you might get a result by trying 'Trixie' or 'IE7Pro'. See Link Edited to say No Personal Experience - all usual caveats apply!
  12. When I saw Pharisee's original answer (now edited out) I had a pretty good idea what the answer must be. I merely confirmed it with the calculator. Personally I can hardly stand the suspense. When's Natty coming back?
  13. I used Windows calculator in scientific mode, there are enough on that! Have I just blown my chance of a 'ding' by revealing that I didn't work it out in my head?
  14. I usually use a pencil on anything other than a FTF. You don't want some unscrupulous swine coming along behind you with a rubber and pen.
  15. +1 I now have OS maps, Google maps and satellite showing thanks to "Map Enhancement" and "Map Widget", I think that's better than before. And all within about 24 hours of GS borking the system!
