I'm so far away from Kevin Bacon, my computer laughed at me when I tried to connect with him :)

Are you connected to Keith Brooks per chance?

Seems he's the connection in the Domino world that links us all to somebody who is linked to Mr Bacon.

We spent our summer holiday in Whitby a number of years running when I was a kid.

Is the whale's jaw bone still there? I can remember counting the steps up the abbey and visiting the shop that makes the glass "lucky ducks". One of the highlights of the week was playing crazy golf on the West Cliff....funny what you remember!

Any time, Jake. They behaved very well from what I could tell.

And by biscuit you mean a salty scone rather than a crunchy item you have with your tea. ;)

As others have said it was in Vista as well.

Eel and crisps!? Sounds like an "I'm a celebrity" challenge.

On a holiday in Majorca (waay back in 1978) the hotel served us up "fish & chips" - it was eel (vile) and crisps - certainly unusual

Apple. You could do that for a long time Apple+space to get the search box and then type. It would show applications and documents. The MS innovation is to move the box from top right to bottom left.

Thanks. Used both (Canon EOS 40D and an Ixus something other other). Mainly used the Ixus though as don't like lugging the other about.

Great photos!! What camera are you using? A DSLR, or a point and shoot?

Vista?

I believe this was in Vista as well.

I live in Tennessee and I've never heard that before. Here chips are flat and crunchy, while french fries are slivers of potato. We have tartar sauce but no mushy peas.

In the south though, we eat more chicken than fish. You can have a chicken biscuit for breakfast, chicken strips for lunch and fried chicken for supper :) although I normally grill mine.

Yes, a vote for launchy from here too. It's great tool eventhough there is a similar tool in win7 start menu. You can customize the launcy in many ways...

Jake Howlett — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:02:58 -0500

Interesting. So you've not always called crisps chips then?

What about mushy peas- can you get them over there? Tartar Sauce too? It's not fish-n-chips without them.

I wonder where Microsoft came up with the idea of an easily-accessible search box that searches all files/programs etc...

IMHO this is the single most useful feature in Windows 7

Glad you're all back safe-n-sound and had a really good trip. Ours was a vacation of redemption this year as well over 1st July weekend - rained out last year, all sun and fun this year. :-)

The meaning depends on both the region of the US and your proprietor's age, apparently. In the Midwest where the establishment is not a chain and the proprietor is sufficiently old to be uncontaminated by the microwave / McDonald's era, Fish-N-Chips indeed means fish and "french-fries". Lot's of good pubs here will also know "chips" is "fries" and not thin sliced and deep fried "crisps".

For my money, beer-battered cod and sweet-potato fries is right over the top and leaves you feeling like you've truly eaten.

I put a shortcut on my desktop so the command line is one click away. This also lets me set the directory to start in.
