    Quick way to get photos from cell phone to laptop?

    Photos taken with an android 'phone are already in Google Photos surely. Selecting Google Photos on the laptop will show them. It is just a question of selecting and then hitting download. Unzip the downloaded folder and put the resulting images in a folder of your choice. Anthony

    Music which moves you

    This aria - in the depths of the temple - from the Pearl Fishers can raise the hairs on the back of the neck. Here sung by Jussi Bjorling and Robert Merrill (the very best combination) View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PYt2HlBuyI

    Cheap printer, cheap ink

    Agree. I have an Epson Expression XP-442 and use Amazon cheap inks, as this printer is used only used for occasional colour documents/maps/&c. Anthony

    Any decent Sofa stores?

    My Brother-in-law just purchased a small sofa and chair from the Cotswold Company. https://www.cotswoldco.com/ We visited their showroom in Stow-on-the-Wold and were very impressed with the quality of their furniture. Anthony

    Why do so few use cruise control on the motorway?

    Same one on my Honda HR-V 2022 and I find it vey helpful. There was CC on the Civic I had before but not ACC - the latter is so much better and very useful. Anthony

    Which composition works best for you?

    Number two. The posts are part of the resp. group structures left and right. allowing the girl on the left to be seen as an isolated figure set apart. I too wonder about cropping the horizontal line as suggested by Wayne. Interesting discussion. Anthony

    FTTP

    Reverting to earlier comments in this thread, although we are using BT's FTTP, here in Buckingham, GigaClear are cabling the whole town at the moment, for their FTTP offering with 6 months free to entice people to become clients.

    Braces??

    +1 for Decalen. After some other brands didn't last very well (clips losing their grip and the elastic material degrading) I fairly recently bought a pair of Decalen 4-clip braces and have been very pleased with them. The clips are quite powerful and *might* damage trousers made of very fine...
