ChapsObama was elected mainly by promising change.Simple question ... has he actually changed anything and if not will he be able to do so.The Republicans have taken a safe Democrat seat and now his medical bill is looking difficult to move on and his...
Frederick Morrison, inventor of the circle with a smaller circle inside it.You know, for kids...
In about two hours, we are going uptown to a friend's, to join in the festivities. Warming up right now with rum & coke :-) Wish me luck!
A lot (well, comparatively) of threads being closed down lately.Perhaps we should all take a few deep breaths for a bit."Who am I? Where am I? When am I?"
hi, just in case you were watching the bbc & missed it! http://www.americanthinker.com...il_jones_confes.html
Our Canon Pixma MP500 is leaving thick black lines on the back of printed pages. It's scanner section seems to be invisible to OSX.Obvious choice seems to be the Canon MP 560, which has built in wireless. Could some one please explain the line in the...
Do you Dress Up For Concerts?I used to dress in Sunday Best for concerts - albeit classical ones.Then I slackened off and dressed warm! Hereford Cathedral is cold for nine moths of the year, but I have woked out that making an effort is respectful,...
Its going to be really interesting.SO and myself have had long discussions about monetary impact of my leaving my XS amp on 24/7This will be quite interesting I imagine
Out of courtesy to the posters perhaps?Or am I simply wrong?
Did you listen to Weekend Wogan.??? Oh dear, a live audience of what was obviously awestruck TOG's shipped in to pay homage to 'imself. Laughter (compulsory) seemed to be provoked with the aid of a cattle prod. The jokes & presentation skills were more suited to an OAP afternoon tea club meeting The good side - Jamie Cullam, Norah Jones, The bad side - Wogan, no topical political news chat, Wogan, no Parkinson, Wogan, no Michael Ball If the BBC think this is the way we want Sunday morning...
Sun 3 Jan 21:00 on BBC One & HD The excellent Kenneth Branagh returns (series link already set up) Wallander investigates the brutal slaying of an elderly couple at an isolated farmhouse. A police leak of the wife's dying words leads to an outbreak of racist reprisals in Ystad. The fallout from the case leads Wallander to doubt everything, including his abilities as a police officer.
Anyone else been watching this one? Last night's episode on internet privacy issues was very thought provoking. I know there are some computing whizzkids on the forum - just wondered what they thought?I can't get enough of Aleks Krotoski though (apart...
I managed to hit a snow covered pothole big enough to hide a small child in. Saw it too late & nowhere to go in dark & fog. It bent both N.S.front & rear alloy wheels & nicked the front tyre. An insurance claim is not worth it especially if you have full N.C. & even if you have "protected" it means your base premium goes up anyway, plus whatever £££ excess to pay. I am claiming off the County Council Highways. I know they are all set up with denial clauses & whatever. But I...

Hoping for more news of George's lovely Carlton and the two wheeled exotica of others on here.I completed the renovation of my old Italian Viner today. I had lots of lovely old Campag stuff to put on her, but my wife will be using it and she is the...
I have to say, no sympathy for TOYOTA over the recall thing. Over the years they have become so smug it beggars belief.As for their cars they are deadly dull to look at and drive, Avensis especially and the Auris (replacement for Corolla)who'd want one ?
We are heartily sick of our cheapo cordless phone. Poor connection, short battery life, poor SQ, cheap feel.Does anyone recommend a top-quality cordless? (North American compatible/available)
Mrs S and Miss S are going to That London to spend the night with some old bones.She thought some of your other halves may enjoy it too... though I think it may be too much like being at home, not that I'm suggesting that there are any dinosaurs on ...
I know a lot of people here will not be fans, but I know there are a few who are, so I though a thread for the new season would get some interesting contributions.Not quite seen all the week one results, but Pittsburgh looked strong, as did Tennessee,...
I know there's a fair few of you good folks who're into photography so I'm after a bit of advice about telephoto lenses.I've got a Canon 5D MkII and a reasonable collection of lenses, mostly on the wide-angle side of things (all EF) - 16-35mm 2.8L,...
My wife is a Tax consultant,up until Saturday morning she was able access HM Revenue & Customs site, then later that day she tried logging in again she could not gain access. A message on screen said you have entered the wrong ID or Password etc, (she...
During the recent arctic weather my wife was complaining about lack of traction when trying to get out of a friend’s fairly steep driveway. Out of curiosity I checked her tyres and the rear ones were almost bald. OK, so this explained the...
