A great find ! Some decent apps there, have bookmarked and will go on a download frenzy later.  Note to self : Must download the BSOD screensaver, that could come in handy  >:D

The first one I tried failed, but I'm sure there's a lot of useful stuff there.  Thanks Alan!  :thumb:

The sad thing is we never needed them until we saw them on that page  ;D

It's like walking past the bakers, that smell of freshly baked bread is irresistible, go on, you know you want it  :thumb:

It's strange how powerful the smell of fresh bread is, isn't it, Mick. It's almost guaranteed to make you hungry.

Bacon does that to me, I cannot resist, the urge to buy and consume a fried bacon and egg bun is overwhelming !

Bread, bacon, chips... Any advance? :)

The smell (aroma?) of coffee and also that of strawberries are very tempting although I think that the latter smell better than they usually taste. I agree about fresh bread and also bacon. ;D

I love the smell of coffee, but not the taste. Strawberries I always find vaguely sickly sweet as a smell, though. Oranges, otoh...

Let's face it, Seb, you and I need to get on to the smell of smoked salmon and a good steak. :)

A good bacon sandwich is one of the finest things to eat that there is, unfortunately I can rarely have one. :(

Me neither, for different reasons. I've often had a debate with myself as to what I'd choose as a last meal, if I was about to be executed. Bacon, egg and chips usually wins over anything more exotic.
