At least three different gestures getting muddled here. The one you are enquiring about is definitely the "Score one for me" gesture.

I would get on the train and travel out to places nearby like Winchester (cathedral, history, etc) and the like. Only a short journey -20 mins or so. There is a youth hostel in Winchester and there's probably one in Southampton too.

Regards pictures of ships, you might want to cross the river and go to places like Netley where you'll get a terrific view of liners going out.

And I would go to the Isle of Wight for the day - a short journey by... [more]

Yes it could. Just would not connect.

It would not connect to the network. It "saw" it OK, but simply "sat" trying and trying to connect and failing. I can't recall if it eventually "gave up" or if I cancelled it. I tried using the Windows connection utility and an Intel one that comes with the laptop. I must have tried 50 times in the course of the day.

How would that affect its ability to connect to what was apparently a (relatively - a year or two) old router in one location?

Because Indian food is often variations on a basic set of ingredients, so easy to prepare, amend, keep, all the stuff others have said.

The Garmin doesn't have a user replaceable battery, but leave it on the charger - it trickle charges. If you look on the diagnostic screen (google for info) you can see the charge status - IIRC, it is expected to last several years, hence the non user replaceable.

Any Garmin is good. They have just refreshed their model range and you can pick up deals on perfectly good "old" stock - and they will update the maps gratis if you contact Garmin

I don't think any of the changes perceived by reputable sources will make much of a difference in your lifetime. Gore's claims about New York being flooded, etc are discredited.
