John you need to put the [/IMG] tag on the same line as the image url. But I wouldn't because the picture is HUGE

Ah. I thought about that last night. I use Tapatalk mainly and it displays fine in that and at a reasonable size. I've just looked this morning via a browser and I see what you mean. Thanks for the prompt.

There's a house in Bristol that I pass each day that I cycle to work that always has great window displays of odd (often sci fi related) items that always puts a smile on my face before I get to work. They've outdone themselves today...

Another SciFi nut signing in. I have close to 700 SciFi books stretching back to pre-decimal currency. Regarding the Foundation series, I often think of Trump being like the "Mule" -a leader coming from nowhere that throws the established order (and Hari Seldon's predictions in the books) into chaos.
If you want something slightly different to read, The Rivers of London series (9 books) by Ben Aaronovitch is worth looking at. Harry Potter/Terry Pratchett meets CSI all based in and around London's Met police force. Has a lot of London history embedded within the stories.

I've just ordered "The Human" by Neal Asher (#3 in the Rise of the Jain) another good series which is linked to his many other books.
Waiting on The Expanse book #9 (James SA Corey) and "Saints of Salvation" book #3 (Peter Hamilton)


I'm conscious of the fact that I haven't read many of the classics so I bought Don Quixote and found it tedious, I haven't finished it and probably never will.

The teflon coating on Berndes Schmorkasserolle started to bubble after 18 months of near daily use, so emailed customer service.

This arrived today. Mrs is quite giddy with joy.
