This photo, of a very little me and my grandfather and great grandparents, was taken in about 1968. My parents haven't a clue about the location, and I'm the only survivor. The only guesses I can make are somewhere in the home counties, or maybe that...

On July 8th, it will be the last time a Space Shuttle will lift off. Atlantis is scheduled to meet up with ISS for a 12 day mission. Earlier this year, Discovery and Endeavour succesfully completed their last flights. I think they were beautiful...
Today I have had the usual run of cold calls from various companies. At about 4.30pm I get yet another cold call, this one from what sounded like an Indian based called centre. As usual, I was in the loo! I was asked how long...

I was on BT Broadband Option 1 until yesteday. This is around £15/month for 10GB access. During a telephone conversation with BT yesteday to discuss my bill they offered me a new deal. Sign up for 12 months and get unlimited access for only 70p a month more! This seemd too good to refuse so I jumped at it. It doesn't seem to be a well publicised thing so I just thought I'd let anyone here who may be interested know about it..... PS. Hope this post isn't breaking any rules. It sound like...
I know something very similar was posted with a pigeon(?) photo on the forum last year. I thought this might interest some people. It is probably OK, and if it had been hurt it would have almost certainly been under the window. Here is the...
Did anyone see the documentary on the artist Peter Howson on BBC4 on Monday?It was a fantastic insight of the man and how he works.Stu
Quick question - I recently sold my CD2 on an auction site - the cdp was playing fine before I sold it but the seller has now emailed me to say having set it up all he gets is an "ERR" code on the display - any thoughts as to my / his next step?ps -...

Dear Investors, I would like to give you £83 million which would be half of my win when I get the jackpot in the Euro Lottery later tomorrow (this is provided you buy me a ticket of course) My lucky numbers (which have been meditated into the very fabric of the universe through long years of esoteric practices and desperate pleading) are: 11,22,23,41,42 and 9&6 lucky star numbers. 41,42,16,29,3 and 2&3 are equally dead certainities albeit in a pararell universe. It could be our lucky...
Hi, I'm in the process of canceling my membership to this forum, and just wanted to thank everyone for their helpful advice and support. I've found comfort here. I became friends outside of the forum with people I met online here, and I'm thankful for...
Any pointers? I'll be in Bristol on Monday and I listen mainly to European jazz and classical music CDs. A good shop specialising in secondhand CDs would be ideal. ThanksNigel

Has anyone had any experience with I-phone kits for cars? I have a 2006 VW Golf from just before I-phone docks became standard, so had a kit fitted by the (VW) dealer when I bought it. I thought the sound was a bit odd, and have realised...
It seems the "improvements" have stopped. Closing the "comment" threads seems to be the only thing that has changed. iPad/Pod/Phone support seems rubbish judging by the state of some peoples post, large spaces, the inability to edit...
I've done a search on this topic but can't find a solution.I can see most images but occasionally all I get is a small blue square with a white ? mark. This has occurred even with images I have posted, although they were there when I first posted...
I take it that it's not easy for a moderator to just remove posts as necessary. Or did it turn nasty today?
It's such a shame, as I was enjoying the friendlier posts.

Well? This from the Grauniad. 'Overvaluing science leads to illogicality, as a Nobel prize winner has proved I'm prepared to accept on trust his figure of 70-80% even though it is of course very low. If by "evidence" he means "people familiar with Galileo's arguments" it's unlikely to be more than about 1% of the scientifically literate; and if he means "people who have actually read the source material", the proportion is just about infinitesmal. The idea that we should test everything...
