Contact sport !Real v Barcelona Dreadful play acting by both teams!
SWMBO was watching the Royal Wedding today and decided she wanted some photos of it. So what did she do? Took photos of the TV screen using her Nikon D50! Then came to complain to me that her camera card was full and she'd had to use...
Spring Teasers To help keep amused, those who are not away on holiday, or watching the Royal Wedding in theUK, I have a couple of simple brain teasers. I offer these by way of encouragement, to revive the last two from Xmas, which remain...
Currently watching lots of old Doctor Who. (cue derisive laughter and rude comments from some of our "less tolerant" forum members) Just got up to the Jon Pertwee years. Doesn't Lethbridge-Stewart look a lot like Rowan Atkinson?
Call me old-fashioned (....), but something doesn't quite smell right about this. I don't know the mechanics, but my understanding is that Paypal is a subsidiary of ebay (and subject to their onerous charges), and that it may not be entirely secure....
My flat-mate returned permantly to Poland at the begining of the year, and his TV License has now expired. I do not watch TV, and I do not watch internet streams of TV, or even delayed relays. Obviously, as I do have a PC and a reasonable BB...
You have to wonder where Andrew Marr's woman left her dog while she was engaging with him!
I think the forum needs another overhaul!
Following on from my 2009 question about the lavander, which has never looked better since following the advice [thanks guys], I wondered if any one knows about tomatos? Last year my container tomatots got a disease, after enjoying a few lovely specimins the leaves went quickly grey and the green tomatos went blotchy and didn't ripen.Does any one know what disease this is? does it have spores in the soil? Should I change the compost [I think so] and if I do what should I do with the...
I found this enjoyable article by James Harkin in a newspaper earlier today. It helped explain what I'm doing here! I wonder what you'll make of it?..... "In the latest series of the cult American TV series Breaking Bad – in which a brilliant but failed chemist turns to producing crystal meth to support his family – there's a telling moment in the underground drugs laboratory which has become his second home. Gale, one of his colleagues, casually introduces him to a side project he's been...
It's been some time since I bought a second hand car but today I accompanied a mate to view some 4X4s. Three had been selected following an internet source - cars around five years old.In each case the dealer had said over the 'phone that the vehicles...

Hi folks, I'm after a bit of advice on how I can easily and relatively painlessly extend my wireless network. I've currently got a Netgear modem upstairs and a Time Capsule downstairs which is ethernet connected, but despite relocating the latter...

Dear All, A little bit of my childhood may bite the dust. When at school in bristol in early 70's an old boy lived near the school and he owned a very beautiful dark metallic blue Bristol 411 series 3. He was always impeccably dressed and he drove...
Sad news just reported on the BBC news. I am sure she will be remembered fondly by many forum members now in their forties, and also to a new younger generation for her spin off series on CBBC. She 'had cancer for some time' according to the BBC...
Has Skynet taken over?
Just to make a point, I just now deleted my thread-starting post in 'Music Room", dated March 30, 2011. The thread was about how good Let It Bleed sounds. Deleting your post, if it starts a thread, deletes the entire thread, including everyone else's...
Not only is it showing an hour slow even the minutes are wrong. I'm showing London time , so that SHOULD not be the problem, I don't seem to remember changing my time setting so may times, if any, previously. REAL WORLD time of post 11:18....
Sergio Ramos dropped Copa del Rey trophy under moving bus ... and this is where the celebration went wrong, ouch. Sergio Ramos' Copa del Rey celebration started off graceful enough with a short routine he performed on the pitch using a matador's cape...
Is this infringing public privacy, taking personal information 1 step too far or just data acquisition nerds out of control. Apple are tracking iPhone users' locations and saving details to a secret file. They save...
One thing that has surprised me over the past few months is how often I see iPads used in the corporate environment. For example, our board members all now receive their board papers from "the cloud" via a secure ( ) app.I don't know whether Apple saw...
