If you start the video in the forum window along the bottom are four icons , the first is to turn on subtitles (orange arrow) and then the cog (green arrow) to access settings which will give you a little menu . select subtitles and then in language select english and then select auto translate. here are some screen shots

I have just been down to my container to get my fishing tackle, but when I saw where I had left it (yellow arrow) I decided to go and play golf instead:



Anyone want to buy a nice motoercycle or two ?

Seeing your container with everything stacked so........... interestingly, makes me think of my rented garage and barn where eveything is similarly 'organised'. There has to be a better way to store stuff in a more accessible fashion, or is it similar to Aristotle's 'Nature abhors a vacuum' in that - if you create space, you'll immediately fill it with something ?

[mickthemaverick]

Mine was well organised with desk on the left then shelving across the bottom and all along the right until I had to make room for the bikes which meant dismantling the desks and stacking the right side stuff down the middle aisle and now you can see what has happened!! But at least in the hermetically sealed container there is neither dust nor damp to contend with and everything keeps perfectly!!

I got as far as the Russian language MIck but don't have the auto translate option on my list.

[mickthemaverick]

You do have to click on the russian to bring up a drop down list of languages and then when you select English it should display the auto translate option.

Same here. Chromium might do better.

That is

the original mad professor Heinz Wolff

[Hell Razor5543]

He of "The Great Egg Race" fame, amongst a lot of other things.

[bobins]

That is the original mad professor.....

I'm not so sure. What of Magnus Pyke, surely he's a contender for that title ?

[NewcastleFalcon]

Yes well done chaps. Wonder if a list of 10 TV boffins could be accumulated, and ranked in order of madness.

Who appeared in a music video with Thomas Dolby.

I see where you are coming from Bobins but as far as I remember Magnus Pyke was a PhD and did not achieve a professorship so could not qualify for that title!!

And apparently Magnus was a bit 'hard work' to deal with as he didn't really understand the whole music video thing. When asked to say the lines "She blinded me with science" he recoiled, stating that he'd be surprised if any woman could blind him with science.

Patrick Moore has to be on the list!
