It was just a strange thought that went through my bored head today: this summer I'll have had my HoTMaiL address for eleven years. I won't be celebrating or anything silly, don't worry!Tony
So any good recommendations? Any must haves Apps. I put Tom Tom Western Europe on my phone this week and have been very impressed with it, although you do need to buy the very over priced cradle for it to work properly.
What is the sense in the TV adverts that have some guy shouting a mindless tirade of verbal garbage usually at double speed. Its usually double glazing, kitchen cleaners, even Halifax are pushing their standards into this category, or the worst is...
There's one candidate who'll be missing from the voting slips come May (or possibly sooner, if Boring Frown goes for it early). His/Her inclusion would save SO MANY spoilt ballots.Who? Why, "None Of The-Above", of course...
BBC Time-PipsI need to have my watch accurate to better than 30 seconds, so each day I check it against the BBC Time-pips. The watch gains two seconds every three weeks, so I don't need to reset it other than when we change BST/GMT or when I go/return...
Any one any experience of physical/psychological sensitivity to low frequency noise. We have low level noise source from 2.7 miles away & with a hill in between. It can only be heard in the house, not outside. I can hear it, as can the neighbours, if - BIG IF - if you listen carefully during a very quiet period. It's most distinct at night & when the air is very still or from the noise source direction & with cloud cover. Problem is it's really getting at my wife, it is very distinct to her,...
As the Irish government have introduced a scrappage scheme it's probably the best time to get rid of my hulking 1995 Lexus LS400 and go for one of the newer cleaner greener varieties.I have need for 1.3 cars and this will be the 0.3. I'm attracted to...
Yesterday my wife bought me a pair of those cheap reading glasses while shopping for food and things in a supermarket. She told me she had chosen them carefully, to suit my face.She hadn't noticed, yet - I pointed it out to her - that they are black...
I believe that the measurement problem in quantum mechanics, the time problem in quantum cosmology, and the 'Hard Problem' in brainscience are all profoundly related but it gives me brain ache trying to work it all out. If you could have any question...

fernleaf lavender seeds about 3 months back and have enjoyed watching them grow. They have now bloomed (50%) and their petals are looking gorgeous. However, the flowers still don't have a smell. The stems and leafs are giving off a herb like sent...
I for one will miss the Stuart Maconie freak zone
We have beakdown cover on Hilary's car for £55 per year. Now my car is over a year old, we need cover for this one as well. Expecting to pay another £55, I was very pleasantly surprised to find that we could turn Hilary's policy into a...
For those who share my view that Naim hifi and Brompton folding bikes are the only truly essential things in life, David Henshaw's new little book on Brompton might be of interest. Lots of detail about Julian V's crucial backing and guidance when B...

Hi all bird watchers - including twitchers. Just for fun & as its not good going out weather, what winter visitors or hard weather sightings have you seen this year IN YOUR GARDEN or close neighbourhood. Lets know your location & if coastal, river, lake/marsh etc., as I guess a Crossbill south of the Wash is rare We can assume you have all the usual's - but lets hear about some variations, I have about 20 Blackbirds chasing each other around food & territory, far more than previous years, I...
I hope to be doing some travelling in Europe late April/early May - inter-railing!I'm a bit too old to slum it in a hostel, but reasonale 2** hotels - basic but clean - are fine by me.The number of websites for hotels is overwhelming! Can anyone...
Been hunting about for a place I can get to reasonably easily to make the old girl "posh" again! This not going to be cheap! I thought rather than keeping the metallic light green [I dislike metal or pearlescent finishes], I would opt for a block colour, and British Racing Green looks a nice understated colour in keeping. I'll keep the Magnolia on the steering tube, as this is "very Carlton" in its oddity! The only transfer I would need is for this place. The others are not in my view any...
Went "up west" last night to Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club (in itself, a first) and sat a mere 20 feet away from "Billy Cobham, The Greatest Drummer In The Known Universe" whilst he plied his awesome trade...INTENSE just doesn't cover it. Briefly met the...
Hi All -I'd love to see how Naim kit is made. Do Naim offer a factory tour? I'm incredibly happy with my Naim. No that's an understatement - it's more than just being happy with it. It's unreal, I've never experienced the enjoyment from other people's...

Well, the advertising is rather intriguing...
A "Google" is 10 to the power 100.A "Googleplex" is 10 ten to the power a Google.A "Graham's" number is a number so vast that if you were to try to write one zero of the Graham's number on each atom in the universe, there would not be enough atoms to...
