I know this topic was opened ages ago, but can someone please correct the title. It annoys me every time I look at this topic and see Computor in place of Computer. Thanks.

Found this "Paradise" video on YouTube (posted July 2020) It is a "speeded up" run though of the changes which took place on the Paradise site over the last 4 years, the knocking down of the old library and the building of the first two buildings. It is from a webcam situated on top of the...

Lumpammer, You can edit your first update, you don't have to enter it all again (see the edit button) I think poster wants one that fits inside their laptop rather then an external one that plugs in. And as far as I know these are not standard items and one would need to be bought for the...

But your original append did say "its about time the councils stopped building monstrosities" So I merely pointed out it was NOT the council doing the building (though they do of course give permission for them to be built). Can you blame them though, all of a sudden you get 600 more people...

First thing to make clear is that I don't believe ANY of these apartments are being built by Birmingham council, they are all private builds. Secondly, many of these apartments are being sold FOR PEOPLE TO THEN RENT OUT. There is a huge market now in people buying an apartment in Birmingham...

If these sports arenas are going to be built for the 2022 games it seems we wont be seeing any progress on the Smithfield development before then which is a little sad. However with the current pandemic, and the world wide financial situation, I wonder when the Smithfield development WILL start...

And Basketball More about it on the Commonwealth Games web site here https://www.birmingham2022.com/news/blog/celebrating-2-years-to-go/ Here was the Beach Volleyball court from the 2018 games in Australia. Very similar !

After all the tributes to Peter Green yesterday how about this. Mick Fleetwood Blues Band, with Rick Vito, live in concert. Must say Rick Vito is excellent on lead vocals and lead guitar (he was in Fleetwood Mac for quite a while). Note this video is an hour long but does contain some great...

Note the plan for the Paradise site posted above on April 9th has actually changed, the new plan is below. The "yellow" office block at the top of the image, Two Congreve Square, has been removed and has been replaced by a RESIDENTIAL tower called The Octagon. For those interested in the...

I do it as follows on Windows 10. Go in to your browser and display the YouTube web site. Select the video / song you wish to play and start to play it. In the YouTube web site page at the top of your browser will be the "address" of the video (http://YouTube.com/watch/ xxxxxx) Stripe that...

Sadly Suffolk Street Queensway is now a huge barrier between the city centre and the West side of the city. And there is now even less reason to go near Trafalgar House. Look at the image below and you see that Suffolk Street Queensway cuts the city on two in that area. There is currently...

Trafalgar House has been covered in scaffolding for years, more than 5, maybe 7 or 8 (anyone know?). I think there were plans to turn it in to a hotel so not sure what became of that. It is of course right opposite the huge Paradise development so the plot is probably quite valuable. Good...

An excellent example of Windows looking after you by limiting you going to web sites that are perhaps "risky". Well done Microsoft.

When we sign up for an internet service provider (ISP) there is a great temptation to use and email address provided by that ISP. So, for example, if you are using say TalkTalk for your internet you may be tempted to create an email address of rogermoore at talktalk.com (if that is your name!)...

Some videos on YouTube about the Town Hall. First a video showing how the Town Hall exterior has changed over time (a series of still photographs) Next a video of the history of the Town Hall (and the famous painting of the Town Hall) Finally Humphrey Lyttleton remembering his jazz...

While that is true for "untrusted" web sites, for a web site like say Crucial who are a major well known maker of memory, then they can be trusted. Here is their web site where you can see the option to install software to scan your PC to check what memory you have and how much you can add...

As horsencart's photos at the start of this topic are no longer available here is a photo of the status "in situ" outside the old library that I took in 2010 to remind everyone of how it looked. One interesting little story about this statue. A few years after I took this photo they blocked...

Sorry about that, corrected it with a different version.

Couple of Beatles "B" sides (beautiful ballads written by John) to show what a great band they were. Song - "This Boy", the "B" side of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" Song - Yes It Is, the "B" side of "Ticket To Ride"
