I am considering a weekend away in Lincoln, having not been there for over 20 years I wonder if anyone may suggest a good hotel with leisure facilities. A nice pool is a must together with a nice restuarant.RegardsNB

My phone line is dead. I've tried two different phones straight into the only socket in the house, and get nothing on either. However, when I plug my router in, it hooks up fine, I am using the connection right now. So what's that about?BT's online...

I had an interesting e-mail in my inbox this morning. It was from myself and it had an attachment with it.Now as hard as I tried I couldn't remember sending myself an e-mail last night.Naturally I have deleted it from my e-mail without opening it.Has...

I need a laugh and t'tele isn't helping. New series of "Teachers" (enter the fat bird) looks promising and something called "World of pub" (I think) was great but finished the instant I noticed it. Steve Coogan's "Dr. Terrible's house of horrible" was...

ChapsMy PC is on Broad band and everything works well and is fairly fast.I always clear out cookies etc once a fortnight and defragment about once every 3 months.I now notice that I cannot defrag. I go up to 10% and then can go no further. Also I have...

What do we really think is going on guys. Is Sven really committed to the FA or is this a clever ploy to increase his potential salary with Chelsea?RegardsNB

Six months ago I bought a digital camera-excellent deivice.Then a couple of weeks ago I realised that I was missing film and had an urge to get back to the 1970's -the days of metal,manual cameras.I bought a new Nikon FM3A (ok a 2001 machine but it...

First there was the Spanish (IIRC) bloke in the Chelsea-Arsenal anticlimax. Then the Italian fella in one of the best goalless draws I've ever seen - Barcelona v Celtic (spoken as a totally objective Celtic fan).Two outstanding referees kept both...

Hi all,as my Baby Benz ( MB 190 D 2.5 ) is from 1986, i consider buying a new car. What do you think about the Toyota Corolla and Avensis, which are according to the ADAC ( a german automobile club ) the most reliable cars, far better than Volkswagen,...

Just bought my first replacement DVD player. You know how it is - you buy the first to find out what it is you really want. I've bought a Cambridge DVD57 from Richer's at £150. It plays DVD audio too (not that I have any), and slideshows JPEG's...

What is the expected lifespan of these recordable/re-recordable media, is it as long as "factory" CDs. I am keen to know as I wish to archive some vinyl, camcorder and photo footage but am a sceptical having some early music CD go "rusty"

Can anyone explain to me why, in our computer driven age, it takes banks so long to clear payments?I recently tansfered some money, via telephone banking, from a Woolwich account to a Barclays account and it took 5 working days!!! As far as I'm aware...

Anyone seen this yet? Any good? I think I'm off to see it tomorrow night.Rich

I'm looking into buying a pentax camera from the states, the dollars so weak that I feel I could justify the expense of an otherwise ovepriced model (the mz-s, probably to be my last ever 35mm purchase), however I'm not sure whether any guarantee...

Hi,Can anyone shed some light on the subject - I am about to buy a new pc, and one of the main uses will be for compiling cd's from my vinyl and cds for my own use, obviously !So, any suggestions as to what soundcard to go for please ?Thanks,Steve

Now I know what you Brits do all weekend!Minky, give it a whirl next time nothing's on TV.

I just bought an iMac and tried my hand at burning a CD. I was surprised at how much different the product sounded than the original. Muddy, with overbearing bass--good enough for the car, but you wouldn't want it under your roof.I used iTunes on the...
