You cannot.
Very useful when you have 1000+ photos to download.

If you find you are having difficulty working out the difference between a Damsel in distress and a Damson in a dress there are a few things you can look for to determine which is which:
Just to help here are some photos of both…
Wouldn’t it be nice if the cricket video umpire tools DRS and Snicko were actually controlled by owls…
I am far better at getting Chinese words in the correct order than learning the actual words, so I am going to share some of my memory secrets. The first is how to remember the order Subject Verb Noun.
I always think of Subject as a type of squirrel, Verb as a sort of owl and Noun as a dragon like creature with short trunk like an elephant.
As squirrels like nuts, owls like eating small rodents that eat nuts, dragons with trunks pick up the nuts, roast them and give them to villagers in return for princesses and damsels.
Using elementary graph theory techniques we can consider each type of word as having a degree of separation from a nut. Subject 1, Verb 2, Noun 3. So by remembering squirrel, owl, dragon with a short trunk, the word order is easy to deduce.
If you love the four times table, the Olympic Games (not the cold one) is the sporting occasion for you.*
I was interested in the fact that the Olympic rings are meant to represent all the colours on any flag of the world.
For example that great Olympic country Russia has a flag that is red white and blue, represented by the red ring, the blue ring and the white background. Here highlighted in pharmeceuticals and faecal brown…

Here is an idea for the classic quiz show, a phrase I find myself saying only too often…
And the solution… something we all should agree with.
Although I have not posted any meeting minutes for a while, 开会 is if anything more of a popular pastime in China than it ever was in the UK. Here are my notes from todays meeting…
It is a busy time, not only are there 90th birthday elebrations for the Queen, but also it is World Gin Day. This is good news, as Her Majesty likes a bit of Gin. Here is my recipe for a perfect Gin Martini :
60cl Gin
0cl Vermouth
Stir the Gin gently with ice and serve with as many olives as possible (and for a treat stuff them with blue cheese)
And to celebrate the Queens 90th, here is my birthday limerick dedicated to her…
A nonagenarian monarch from Windsor
Said “Knight I want a large gin sir”
He said “Isn’t it time for your bed?”
She said “Guards! Off with his head”
But due to the European convention on human rights enshrined into UK law, he got away with it
To celebrate St George’s day why not relive the legendary tale by killing an endangered species just to impress a member of the royal family.
If you cannot find an endangered species make a dragon by traning a gecko in the art of firebreathing, then fight it to impress somene who is clearly in a better social class than you, you total utter pleb.
Hope you have a good one.
