For the Doc Martin fans among us, here are some great photos from "Port Wenn" (actually Port Isaac) today:

Thanks again!

Used to stay at the Port Gaverne Hotel and then Castle Rock Hotel (now redeveloped) every year from zero to fifteen. Nice pics!

Thank you - beautiful pictures. I've been to Cornwall a few times on vacation (when I lived in England). I always thought I would retire there. I think it's the most beautiful part of England. My friend (in Cheshire) still goes there every year. I am so envious..........

I think Bea gave us the slip because there are no flights with those numbers.

Found this-


I thought about not commenting on this thread-because it does seem a bit touchy. At the same time-I absolutely have noticed just ONE thing. Forget noses, or teeth or clothing. And please-I don't have ANY idea what it has to do with as far as ethnicity or heritage.

I cannot tell who is British and who is American as I can't imagine it would be possible. BUT-I have seen many British people who have a longer space between upper lip and nose. What it means-I do not know. To me-that is something that causes me to "guess" they are British-and often be correct. It may mean something completely different-but it is something I have noticed.

Beyond that-I need to say that I have NEVER met such friendly people in my life as I have here in my little hometown of Darwen and surrounding areas. The sense of humour and humanity is WONDERFUL!

Where did you you find that?
Weird, a bigger gap, I don't think so.

Expat Shield is freely downloadable software for Windows PCs only. It allows you to mask your computer IP address. It is commonly used to view UK TV shows via the BBC and ITV players when you do not reside within the UK. Normally, UK TV shows are not viewable outside the UK but when you mask your IP address, you can watch them online.

What was she doing in Abu Dhabi? I thought she was flying from Sydney.

Abu Dhabi was her stop-off from Sydney to Manchester - her flight was in 2 legs - Sydney-Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi - Manchester.

Can anyone please let me know what the equivalent of the Expat Shield is for a mac. I'm sure I have seen it mentioned on here before but searched and couldn't find the correct information.

Thanks.
