Or closer to home and a darn sight more practical.

Expensive Alpine shoes.

Crazy. Take your pick:-

I kept a single box of each intact, and for space brought the rest in without their boxes. Also brought copies of the UK prescription dockets for reference. Saved on space. Luckily wasn't pulled over, as realised afterwards I was bringing in over 6 months worth. My UK GP signed the prescriptions saying "We'll try quadrupling your dose and see how you go!"

Hi Kenny202, If you've got the time / patience then you can embed any Subtitles file(s) yourself into a .mkv container file. The .mkv file contains the video file (mp4, avi, FLV, MPEG etc), as well as any audio files plus any subtitles and Picture files, e.g. a Cover Picture. (Plus can hold Chapter and Tag details as well.) That way you'll end up with a single file (MyMovie.mkv) on your USB drive containing the Video, Audio Soundtrack files (English, Thai, French etc), as well as all your Subtitles (English, English SDH, Thai, Korean etc). The other advantage of the .mkv file is any Commentary / Trivia tracks (either in Audio format or written as a Subtitle) can be embedded as well. Players like VLC (VideoLAN), GOM, Microsoft MediaPlayer etc) accept the .mkv format. Same for SMART TV's. The Matroska (mkv) project started in 2002 and has grown globally. With the likes of Microsoft deciding to support from Windows 10 onwards. The name is derived from the Russian word, Matryoshka, i.e. the hollow wooden dolls. You can download their MKVToolNix utility via the Matroska website. However, as with any software product, maintaining compatibility with other applications can get tricky. If you've got an older SMART TV or version of VLC, then don't necessary use the latest version. (See Older Versions on the Website) In terms of sourcing Subtitles, then as other have mentioned, SubScene.Com is a good website. Also OpenSubtitles.ORG is a good second alternative. Sometimes I find when playing the movie file, there isn't a perfect match in terms of voice syncing to a downloaded Subtitles file. There are a number of tools available On-line to assist with this. "SRT Editor V3" is good tool to start with for SRT based files. Only issue I have with playing a USB drive movie on my LG SMART TV, is when any SRT based subtitles use positioning or colour as my TV doesn't support this level of functionality. Way round this is to play the movie via VLC on the Laptop and use a HDMI cable. Or Cast it to the TV. Hope this is of interest.

Nice little earner.

Is it flood proof?

Surprisingly, Sarah Brightman is only a 3 octave range. Off topic, in terms of shattering glass with the human voice, Caruso was allegedly able to do this, but there is no actual proof. HoweverJamie Vendera, a vocal coach proved it possible on Mythbusters.

Captain Beefheart, 4 1/2 octave range. However not all his music was what you might call "accessible". Also with a 4 1/2 octave range is Kate Bush.

Will it go this same way as the last one?

Next headline. "Sky Walk closed due to verruca epidemic."

Good question. Just checked and it turns out to be Malaysian. Would appear my Condo's TV network isn't Thai!

For the more memorable experience there was IZAL. Apparently "...a study revealed that Izal is 3.6 times more likely to destroy bacteria than Dettol".

Have had same issue for years even when purchasing hi-density Ziess lenses. ( Not cheap). My theory is how they are cleaned. Expensive optician a number of years made me buy the Ziess cleaning cloths. His comment was the Supermarket use once cleaners shouldn't be used regularly due to the abrasiveness of the material. Mine are beginning to etch, so will need to consider a new set soon.

Agree. Here's one from 1977. On stage the lighting guy would drop a 100 Watt bulb on a flex above Phil Mogg's head (Vocalist) towards the end of the song. Kill all stage lights except the one light. At the last words of "Lights out London", Phil would smash the bulb with his fist. Magic. Days before 'Elf & Safety.

Agreed Gates didn't write any of Digital Research's (DRI) DOS (Gary Kildall's company). Whilst Gates was contracting for IBM he initially suggested IBM approach DRI for the Operating System (OS) for their Personal Computer (PC). Rumour goes, Gates tipped off Gary Kildall saying "some important blokes are going to pay a visit, don't screw it up". On the day of their visit Gary was to busy flying one of his light aircraft, so the meeting didn't really take place. IBM were tasking Gates (Microsoft) to write / deliver a BASIC interpreter for the PC. During discussions with Gates they commented the meeting with DRI wasn't beneficial, so would Gates be able to deliver an OS as well? Gates approached Tim Patterson at Seatle Computer Products (SCP) about using their 86-DOS OS, which was similar in user experience to Gary Kildall's product. A licensing deal was struck between Microsoft and Tim Patterson, which in time lead to Microsoft owning the product. Microsoft employed Tim to enhance the product for the IBM PC as a product called IBM PC DOS. This was sold to IBM for $50,000. Microsoft retained licensing control of the product, hence MS DOS which was licenced to non IBM PC manufactures. Needless to say, Gary Kildall got the hump after finding some similarities in the PC DOS code with his own OS and threatened to sue IBM. The IBM PC was initially sold unbundled, i.e. extras like the OS & monitor were sold separately. IBM agreed with Kindall to resell his OS so customers had an option. At the launch of the IBM PC 1981 (RRP $1565) the IBM branded PC DOS retailed at $40, whereas the DRI CP/M-86 product retailed at $240, about $650 difference in today's money. Needless to say, most early adopters went with the branded IBM product, especially as the majority of the 3rd Party business applications ( Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect, WordStar, VisiCalc) of the day were based on PC DOS as the underlying OS. Key also was the industry catch phrase of the day "Nobody ever got fired by buying IBM".

Not heard of them either. Quick Google, started off in 2009 out of Tooting, and Produce / Market their own material, i.e. not signed to a major. As there name implies, they use / intercut old Government broadcast messages into their music. Did find this, which is their 2015 album, The Race for Space, (which the Ken Bruce played track Go! is on), from the 2019 season of the Proms celebrating the 50th Anniversay of the Moon Landings. Their 2017 Album, Every Valley covers Welsh Mining. Well worth a listen.
