Asda at Gravesend this morning diesel was £1.06 full duty paid.

I'm sorry but everyone seems to be equally single interest, some arguing for navigation but equally some are arguing for conservation (full NP status) I thought we currently had the perfect situation with the BA covering all interests none of which take priority. Forget individual groups and self interest the BA controls the area and gives equal priority to all groups, just as it should be.

I'm still waiting for a qualifing success on the programming front, I can already lose programmes into the dark void but still working on getting them up and running when they're being difficult, if however there are any hardware problems my new found "expert" status means I can help with this (my hammer is ready and waiting to swing into action)

With all due respect to Grendel and his exercise routine, if it's a trapped sciatic nerve then excessive movement is the last thing you need and working on the allotment would leave you permanently damaged. Pain killers can be good but again masking the pain can allow further damage of the nerve so take them but with due care. Voltarol (diclofenac) is very good for reducing any inflammation but is also expensive (Luckily I get mine on prescription)
Over time the back pain will also start to travel down the leg following the track of the nerve, don't despair this is normally a sign that things are clearing up.(could be 2 or 3 months)

Alan,
As requested I'm giving the update on the current position.
Computer cover removed and 1 ton of dust removed from inside. maybe a slight exageration but it was more than I could possibly have believed.
Located the RAM (or at least it was the only double unit I could find) and carefully removed them for Alan's eraser treatment, found it quite a tricky job as the eraser didn't really fit between the pins so was mostly just the outside edges. The lint free cloth seemed a lot easier to use.
replaced Ram and to my surprise the computer is still working, only 2 days so far without a problem, if still working after a week it could have worked, if not a new machine will be on my wish list.
I should have mentioned before starting the above, the machine was unplugged and start button depressed for 20 seconds to remove residual sparky stuff.
As I am now a fully qualified computer engineer if anyone needs help just call, me and my trusty hammer are at your service.

People drive up the wrong side of motorways, they drive up one way streets, most will have had training and passed a test so whether it's bad signage , a momentary lapse in concentration, or idiots it still happens, rivers are no different and if it can go wrong eventially it will..

4GB is reasonably old! but as I'm not a gamer, photographer, video maker it is plenty for me if working.
Thanks Jonzo I'll look into that programme, in the meantime I've found reference to dust build up causing heat and how to clean the inside up so will give that a try, also dry contacts? I always thought contacts were supposed to be dry so will need to try and find more info on that one.

My computer only has 4GB RAM (2 x 2 which could explain why it struggles with only 1 working) both are the original that came with the computer.
I go into control panel, system & security, system, this tells me that my RAM is 4GB if both working but only 2GB if 1 isn't working.
Thanks for the replies.

I'm not sure if this should be in technical questions as it's about computers not boats (mods feel free to shift elsewhere)
Remember if anyone answers please use idiot speak and not computer jargon, assume the OP to be technically challenged as the people who know me can confirm to be accurate.
I have 2 RAM things in my desktop computer, sometimes on starting up only 1 seems to be working, if the machine is shut down and restarted the other may or may not start (sometimes needs 2 restarts)
The machine does run with only half the RAM working but not very efficiently, once both are running it works perfectly.
any advice gratefully received.

I watched a film a while ago where a new computer program was given free to the world, once everyone had it fully installed the mind control was switched on.
"you have been warned"

Alan please slow down, I've been a bit busy of late and trying frantically to catch up on posts I've missed, trouble is just when I thought I had you add another instalment.

Out with the old and in with the new!
Seriously though I hope Jason and Sonia enjoy their new adventures and George and Jason 2 have a huge success on their hands.

Wroxham like potter is a pipe, with the beam of modern cruisers being larger than the old traditional boats there is no room for error, your craft might well have the clearance necessary to get through but only if your aligned perfectly and stay central. Bridges such as Acle being of square construction are easy, if you fit you fit, there is no worry about lining everything up you just go for it.

I wonder if part of the problem is down to the experienced broads boaters?
Gauntlet firmly thrown down!
Seriously though, how many of you have gone outside the channel markers on Barton broad, either to mud-weight or access one of the creaks/dykes. Would this encourage a novice to think it's not as bad as it clearly is on Breydon.

I was overtaken by someone traveling at speeds well in excess of the limit, they also used the no-overtaking strip in the centre of the road (oh! didn't I mention it was on the road.
Signs, camera's, rangers, you will still get people speeding on the rivers as you still get people speeding on the road, some people have no thought for anyone but themselves and these people will also hire/own boats.

Hope she gets well soon, if there's life there's hope.
I have never seen anyone walking near a river wearing a life jacket apart from children, worth waiting for the facts before judging.
The police are told of a lady in the water, did she come from a sinking boat with 6 people on board, if she fell off a boat why didn't the other crew phone the police, did she fall from the bank whilst walking alone.
The police had little to go on and had to respond accordingly, worth waiting for the facts before judging.

When God created man he decided that man would age over 3 score years and 10.
As a sign of this ageing process God decided mans face would dry and wrinkle.
Taking pity on man God decided to make mans eyesight fail so he couldn't see the wrinkles.

Whilst I think it's sad for any yard to close it would be worse if the boats were lost to the hire industry, Clive has said they won't be buying all the broads but at least the broads are safe in his hands.
Andy (Freedom) warns us to expect more to come, I hope he's wrong on this occasion but if it happens and Clive steps in to save more boats or yards then good for him and good for the broads.

Rincewind,
I always thought Andy Pandy and Loopy loo came before Fred and Wilma.

Thanks for that. I've just installed Herdprotect (it's free) and the first scan has detected and removed EIGHT malware programmes which MS security essentials had missed. Computer already running faster!
Sorry I forgot to mention the important bit about it being free, no one program seems to have a 100% clear-up rate but by using 68 different programs you have a much better chance of staying malware free.

Sometimes people just make a mistake! you can train people, refine the handovers and still people will have accidents, it doesn't make them bad people just human.

If anyone has problems with malware then Herdprotect is worth a try, it actually uses the top 68 malware programs to check for problems, why rely on one when you can have 68.

Drafts through a sliding roof can be a problem, I find the snake floatation devices can be a good fix.
Remember when curing drafts you are also reducing air movement within the boat and could be breaching boat safety (covering one's but)
