Get marketing to mock up a suitably size image with a brick wall and the company logo to use as a background. It's all a bit corporate, but saves any arguments.MrLongbeard wrote: Fri Jul 18, 2025 9:58 pmIt doesn't, it's one painting / print that sits behind me nothing else.

seriously though, glad hes okay as they get a proper brain rattling when they roll a car.
A publican told us a story about a customer of his who got pissed up and drove home as people often did in the 70s. Anyway, he lost control on a bend and rolled his car and he was thrown out of the car. He was knocked unconscious and woke up in a field with absolutely no idea of how he got there! The funny bit was his car landed the other side of a hedge and he didnt see it. Later that day he went to the pub to collect his car and it wasn't there, he thought it had been stolen and reported it. He was really angry when Plod found it smashed up in a farmers field. It was only when they gave the location he's memory returned!Knowing the publican i'm never sure how true that story actually is, but it's a great story!
Tricky one. Miss a day's holiday or fly on a plane that may have an electrical issue or two?

Decided to head to Manchester so we can fly from here in the morning. Night in an airport hotel instead of Copenhagen, but means we only lose half a day of hol (ish).Count Steer wrote: Mon Jul 21, 2025 9:13 pmTricky one.

) I assume that compensation has been offered?
(Had to spend an extra night in Israel once while they flew an engineer or two out from the UK to fix a problem on our plane. They attempted to comfort us by telling us that those responsible for the repair would be flying back with us.Got put up in a v smart hotel for the extra night.
Better to get an extra day tacked on the end of a holiday than lose one at the beginning though).
The simple background blur works well enough to hide my collection of antique lithographs from prying eyes. YMMV.MrLongbeard wrote: Fri Jul 18, 2025 9:58 pmIt doesn't, it's one painting / print that sits behind me nothing else.

The blur works fine, but I hate it and refuse to use it, rod for my own back I know.Rockburner wrote: Tue Jul 22, 2025 8:47 amThe simple background blur works well enough to hide my collection of antique lithographs from prying eyes.

I had a call the other day and noticed the ironing board and iron were still in shot, where I'd been on a previous call with the Bank of England and decided to multi-task and get my work shirts ironed.Mr. Dazzle wrote: Tue Jul 22, 2025 9:55 am I just have a wall of electric guitars behind me, it makes me look cool![]()
