I've had a very frustrating evening with her.  Yet again she demonstrates her almost total inability to grasp computer basics.   She had a reunion in Malta with her old classmates, took a load of photos (about 20) and wanted...

Hi Chefs. The old 'lecky stove is dying so time to replace it. I considered going gas but that opens a can of worms with installation given no gas feed to the house. So I'm seriously looking at induction cooktops. Anyone here ...

I've been unwell of late, and in my drug fuelled and sleep deprived state I was unusually up and about and watching breakfast TV a few days ago. I thought I'd stumbled into a time-warped Monty Python sketch akin to 'Julius Caesar on an Aldis Lamp'. The helicopter landed - the assembled masses whooped - a man in a flying suit walked reverently among them, cradling the lamp. I'm all for pushing the boundaries of exploration and knowledge, but a shed load of tax-payer's money to facilitate...

Thought I'd post these instructions from the back of the packet of a potato peeler found in our self-catering apartment in Malta ...pay special attention to the bit below the 2 horizontally spaced holes     (made in China, BTW)

grrr! what am I doing wrong when I try to insert pictures of my system from flickr? The pics are fine on the flickr site and in my saved folder but they come up as little bitty pictures on the Naim forum. Is it some software I'm missing on...

 A young lad I work with is fighting tonight in Ipswich, and has asked me if I'd like to take some photographs. I've accepted and I'm taking both my digital and 35mm SLRs. My 35mm will be loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 and probably my 50mm f1.8,...

Anyone else watch the launch this morning ? Well done to all involved after their last second abort on Saturday this was a fantastic start to their test mission. I'l admit I wasn't as excited as I was when I was a kid watching the Apollo...

Tournament is on. Is this only for the people living north side of 60th parallel or does rest of the world care (or even notice)? Here the main topic related to games seems to be the outrageous ticket prices (starting from 155€ per home game). How much would you pay for an ice hockey match?

Our old Samsung washing machine is on its way to the knackers yard and I had my eye on a lovely stainless steel Miele but swmbo thinks a change of colour would be nice and thinks the colour black may be nice, which of course Miele don't do! We had...

Tomorrow afternoon I will driving from Islington to Tunbridge Wells, hopefully at around 2pm. Will it be easier to drive though London or head back north and pick up the M25. Or is there a better route. A couple of weeks ago I drove from the M1...

I know very little about photography (almost nothing if truth be told) and I am wondering how to combine zooming and cropping. I want to zoom into some detail (e.g. a bird on a branch that is otherwise too small to appreciate) and then crop the photo...

Go here:http://vimeo.com/40640694 You need to persevere past the first 8 - 10 minutes or so during which Ivor explains how he evolved the Linn products ( not a commercial for them so quite interesting). Once he gets going he talks in a very...

My vote would be for I-tunes, for the simple reason it is not written with ease of use for the person who has bought and installed the software, but in the interest of the record companies who are paranoid about music sharing. It think some might...
