Maybe the pie/mushy peas, with a side portion of chips .... or maybe the meatballs or a cheeseburger and chips.
Never mind the menu..the view was amazing.

Here's a random question:
Given a flat jpeg with some text, is there any technical way to find out what font the text was written in?“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Another tooth extracted, and three fillings. And that's it, at least for three months.
This wisdom tooth was a little more of a pain than the last one; he had to leave a fragment in because it was too firmly attached to the bone. :shrug: if it needs to be removed it'll be a referral but see how it goes.
Current status: gopher mouth.
Glad I don't have to visit the dentist again for a while, hopefully.
With your diet, fitness and dental work so advanced do you have a 'vision' or goal for what you want/expect from the remodelled tomterm?0 -

Not that I'm aware of ..... there are som many millions of fonts, I can't see how any site/app could have been set up to identify any one font from a jpeg.
Obviously apps are like fairies and can do magical things, so maybe there is one ..... but I don't see how it could.
What sort of jpeg is it? If it were from, say, a website logo, I might go hunting around the website to see if it's used anywhere else and/or if there were any clues in the style.css or html or anything else "hidden".
I'd also search the site to see if the psd files were stored on the server0 -

I'm going to cross swords with you on this one, PN, even if that's not a very 'nice' thing to do.
There is a gulf between looking at ladies, and actually doing something about it. Like there's a gulf between thinking how nice it would be to murder your boss and actually doing it. I may be a dinosaur, but I don't think it's wrong for men to look at women. I don't even think it's wrong for *old* men to look at women, which is just as well as I'm getting older. I'm not even sure that men can help themselves. It's programmed into the genes. I've heard that women look at men, but we're not talking about that for some reason. It happens all the time, without anybody being molested.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Looking is fine.
Enjoying is fine.
There is a certain sort of conversation that is NOT fine. Its a sort of discomfort less pleasant than much touch. It is not charming flirtatious, which I adore. Its not harmless such as we enjoy here.
Its distinctly unpleasant, it crosses a line. Its a line of conversation not appropriate for public flirtation, nor for discussion of someone else in company. There is little humour there, or pure admiration. Its a sort of avaricious want that leaves women's danger signals very much on alert. Those sort of signals that are as powerful a detractant as the ones that tingle for attractions, and at least ten times as worth listening too IME.
I'll point nice looking women out to DH often. , looking is healthy. Molesting them with eyes, words, awful.0 -
