The General Conversation Area

I was close by to this yesterday. Went to Alver Valley Country Park with my mum who was back down here for the weekend.
Wanted to see Little Woodham village, but it was closed despite Google saying it was open! Had a wonder around the Wildgrounds Nature Reserve instead because it was right next to it, so still got to see some of the buildings.

Did the Wildgrounds last Sunday. Saw a fox, heron, king fisher and a deer.
 
It's a small thing, but it would be really nice if there was a way to filter out every YouTube video with the title "[x] is/was better/worse than you think"

Also a function to automatically report for terrorism any titles which end that or any other phrase with "here's why".
 
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a half decent tablet to play 1080p vlc files like HVEC and AVC

I was considering either

A Surface Pro 5 (I5 7300U) for around £200

Or

A Surface Pro 6 (I5 8350U) for around £300

Only thing I'm worried about is the intergrated graphics card. Not familiar how demanding these codecs are on cards
 
Moved my new TV now. So my old old shelves went and I bought another set that matches the other one that was at the foot of my bed. My pile of shame now sit on the new shelves and my figures on the chest of drawers. I had to bathe them due to dust and took special care of their pointy bits 😏 Yes their swords aren't part of the figure and some nearly popped out! Might buy a display case as there's a couple more I've got my eye on.
So from this:

But, but, what happened to respecting Cartman's AUTHORITAAAAAY??!
 
Looks a lot tidier :)

All the OS Maps ;)
Got most of Hampshire there, New Forest, Test Valley, Meon Valley and Winchester. Also got the Hadrian's Wall one from when I was on holiday up there. The other 2 are the Roman one and Ancient Britain one (which includes some historical places too (Roman and Early Medieval)), which have the monuments more clearly displayed.

*Hmm, according to Wikipedia Ancient History is the period of time from the first writings and recorded history (c. 3000BCE) to around 500CE, so around the end of the Western Roman Empire (476CE). So by that definition the only Ancient bit is the Roman period, before that is Prehistoric and after Early Medieval (or Post-Classical if talking about the wider world).
