Cucumbers? Look more like gherkins to me...

Maybe a stupid question, but what's the difference between TV and public television?

Talking about nasty stingers, what really makes me nervous are horse flies! Wasps and bees are not really interested in you unless you disturb them and mosquitoes, well I don't notice much when they sting. But horse flies, they give me large swellings that itch for days...brrrr! And once they...

I think the Emu is my favourite... http://www.woolenmillfans.com/

I want one of those belt-driven fans too! They are completely new for me and they are gorgeous...

We do have it (see picture). So I must consume this one kilogram bag of salt before May 8, 2010 (and also before 14:29 on that day). And I haven't even opened it!

Webmaster, please help, the sign is worth it to bee seen by us all :)

One should never use the expiry date as the only criterion for determining whether food is ok or not. Just look at it and smell it, that is far more important. I see sometimes vegetables that are not expired but look so bad that I will never buy them and on the other hand I have eaten many items...

Let's try a copy/paste...

I can see the pictures... (Mac OS 10.6.2, Safari 4.0.3)

Update: the red box in observation #1 is now gone. It now only appears when I click on the banner and doesn't remain when I return to the Discus-O-Mat screen from one of the forums.

Observation #2: In Firefox there is a blue edge around the member pictures (see picture), whereas this is not the case in Safari.

I've noticed the following: (Mac OS 10.4.11; Safari 3.1.2; Firefox 3.5.7) Using Firefox, there remains a red box around the forum banner that dissappears only when you select another forum (see picture)

Ohh... stainless frames, very nice. I don't think they existed here at all.

Interesting to see those metal frame fish tanks again. I've had fish tanks myself in the past, but I never saw these shiny frames. Are they stainless steel or plated? As far as I know we only had painted steel frames here and they always rusted so they had to be repainted every couple of years.

No problems found with Mac OS 10.4.11, Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.5.4

Yes, wood can last for centuries. This house in Amsterdam was built around 1420. At that time most houses were of wood construction. Because a concentration of wooden houses such as in a city was a major risk of big fires the regulations were adapted: first side walls were prohibited, later...

When you travel by train from Amsterdam to the North, you pass this newly built hotel...

Based on the traditional design, new buildings are designed. But these are not constructed of wood. They are much larger than the traditional homes.

I think that wooden houses are easier to build and probably cheaper as well. They are also much lighter in weight. Here in the Netherlands wooden houses are frequently found in places with swampy soils that cannot sustain the weight of stone buildings. Of course one can use piles to carry the...
