We played hide the cock in Nandos earlier and got to eat in peace. Iām almost afraid to ask about this! On arrival at a table there is a cockerel in a holder. After they serve you your food someone comes round and asks you how you meal is and then takes the cockerel. Hide the cockerel after they serve you your food and you get to eat in peace  . PS. they only do shite beer...I've tried them both! Not offensive but nothing I'd buy for home consumption. |

As someone who once ate in Nandos because it was kind of obligatory (company get together) and free, I think the learning experience is - If you have a feckin' choice - DO NOT EAT IN FECKIN' NANDOS.

CFexpress type B cards are quite standard now. I hadn't heard of XQD but, reading up on it, the CFexpress type B is a replacement and most cameras that were made to take XQD have had firmware updates that enable them to use the CFexpress type B protocols. The cards are physically the same. I've got one camera that takes a type B. The other slot takes an SD card. I do not even bother sticking a CF in my 5DS any more I just use a fast high capacity SD in the other slot. I think I am still using the CF from my 5D in the 5Ds. I don't remember buying a new one. I tend to put a card in when the camera is new and leave it there, although when I bought the 5D the largest compatible CF card was 4GB so I did change that, twice I think. There was a firmware update. I haven't ever taken the card out of the 5Ds - probably went in in 2017 or so. CFexpress type B is something completely different to CF. They introduced it mainly I think because of the video because the standard allows for fast data transfer. There is also a CFEexpress type C used in broadcast quality video/cinema cameras. Type B is overkill for stills other than for folk who like to spray and pray. I had trouble finding a small CFexpress B card (64 GB is the smallest) when I bought my Fuji. I have popped the card out to do a firmware update from slot 2 which takes an SD card that my computer can write to. |

We made the World News. We, that is, Stornoway. Tesco is going to open on a Sunday. No doubt lightning bolts will rain down on us now. Ha!

The wee free will have apoplexy. Good. Serves them right for being theologically illiterate and intolerant because of that. |

Not sure if it's France on Saturdays but I think somewhere forces the big chain stores to close for half a day so that the small independents on the high street stand a chance.

I like Nando's chicken. Not been for a while, but I assume it is still the same.

Type B is overkill for stills other than for folk who like to spray and pray. I had trouble finding a small CFexpress B card (64 GB is the smallest) when I bought my Fuji. I have popped the card out to do a firmware update from slot 2 which takes an SD card that my computer can write to. To a point I agree, the current range of CFexpress B cards are huge and blisteringly fast, something unlikely to be required by a stills photographer but very useful to anyone shooting 4K or 8K video. There are some users who will benefit from the speed, if not the capacity for stills, sports photographers being the obvious one. XQD was Sony's answer to the low speed of CF cards and was adopted by Nikon in the D4, only later was the CFexpress specification adopted using the same form factor. Even the relatively low speed of the XQD standard is plenty fast enough for most stills use. Unfortunately, despite using the same form factor and connector XQD and CFexpress aren't directly interchangeable without a software upgrade to the former, something Nikon didn't/couldn't provide for the D4.
When I bought my first XQD cards, in 2018, from B&H there was an offer for card and reader for not much more than the cost of the card. I got one of the last of those, if they had had more I would have two readers. Unlike Peter I always use a card reader to download my images to my computer and my, to some people, strange card management system means that I only format a card once I have filled it. Thus I have two sets of cards for each camera, a total of 12 cards. When I bought the D5s I seriously considered changing to CFexpress cards but, at that time, the cost of a 64GB card was around twice that of a 64GB XQD card hence all my current cards are XQD.
This is the offending card, the detached part was preventing the connector from engaging.  |

You would be right there. My problem is now getting there on a Sunday. A long stroll or try for a taxi? |

Light is now coming on in the lower oven - I had not tried it after setting the clock and I think the clock needs set in order for the oven to work at all.
New fridge is running slightly warm. Either the thermostat needs run in or they just run warmer when loaded with food. The thermostat sensor (a long thin metal tube filled with gas) runs behind the lining not in the body of the fridge itself so this is possible. Back in nudging mode.
