Sorry to be dense, Ron, how do I do that?

You're not necessarily being dense, Don, but is the camera set to the same setting that you need to use in order to view pictures on it - i.e. a 'play' rather than 'shoot' setting? On some cameras you'll not get anything to communicate and transfer unless you're in that mode. What camera is it exactly?

Canon Digital IXUS 750
I am sure the problem is with the computers: I took it back to John Lewis while it was still under guarantee and they told me rather unecessarlity sniffily, I thought, that the problem was my computer rather than their camera.
But why does it b.....r up on both machines?....
But Ron, bless you, I have just changed while the camera setting from "take a snap" to "pikkies stored" while typing this message and it has downloaded in seconds. Feel a bit of a prat, but thank you Ron.

On the Weather thread tomorrow, Ron, and of course not of the transcendental beauty of the Dough snaps.

I was supposed to be going to Salisbury today and I was looking forward to a train journey through the countryside (I love trains!). I never made it further than Tufnell Park. Not unusually, the Northern Line was up the shoot so the train was packed to the rafters. I had what amounted to a panic attack and had to get off and get the next, thankfully empty, train back to Archway  I practically kissed the ground with relief when I saw Junction Road (anyone who knows Archway will know that is a rather unlikely response to say the least  ). I hope that episode was a one-off. I don't like the Tube at the best of times but I've never reacted like that before. Still, I'm above ground now and it's a glorious sunny day!  |

Mort, I've had a couple of near misses like that, one of them in the lift at Belsize Park tube! This could very well be related to your 'vertigo' - I'm sure it's related to mine. I've just got in touch with a therapist about it. First, off-the-cuff, emailed diagnosis? Not vertigo but 'agoraphobia'! They're all interrelated. If it gets worse...

Thanks for that, Mart  I'll bear that in mind if I have to be carried, shrieking, off the next Tube train. Lifts? ARGGHHHH! Don't like 'em, don't trust 'em. I'm sure the one at Belsize is deliberately programmed to draw out the agony  |

Tokyo definitely better avoided in your case, Mort. |

 It can be as bad as that in London sometimes, these days!

I have taken to working flexible hours but my line is still as jammed at 1030 as at 8. It seems the Grockle season (West Country term for vacant type of tourist) has started early and in the equivalent of earnest.
It is an outrage that Mort's expedition was forestalled by these brigands and their allies in transport against londoners. the kidney punch i received from a bendy bus yesterday pales into a twinge with this news. If you can hack it Mort, take an early train and treat yourself to a leisurely breakfast somewhere.
i would reccomend the National Express too via a queueless purchase`at their Golders Green office as long as it doesnt go via Southampton and returns at a sane hour. Bon voyage next time. One breakfast option might be in Russell Square greenery or High Holborn junction areas,short hoof or 68 from Euston, the 68 again to waterloo.

Ta Marbs. Alas, the 'brigands' in question were not Grockles, but beleagured workers at the coalface dealing with the ever fascinating vagaries of the Northern Line (a pox upon it). I may try the Salisbury jaunt at the weekend when there won't be a stampede of passengers at East Finchley. Mind you, then I'll probably discover the NL isn't running on the Waterloo bit  |
