I posted recently about ongoing YouTube nightmares. This is just an update because today I discovered something unexpected, albeit blindingly obvious in retrospect. Updating various bits such as Flash...
I’ve only seen the advert on TV once (a few weeks ago I think) and can’t remember the make / model. It’s a camera that shoots video which you can then go through frame by frame to select one as...
Right, I’ve had it with these clowns. When they gave me a new tariff a couple of years ago it was to reduce my typical £40+ bills to about £30. Last two have been £80 and £65. My line is fibre...
Am thinking about getting my eyes done. General vision is OK, just a struggle reading small print. But can’t decide between laser correction or lens implants; at 50+ do I need to consider...
Mine’s out of date – gave up playing over a year ago. So, a new one? It has to be relevant. I want something that truly says “AnswerBank”, but it has to be quirky and original too, not just a...
In my early teens music was always real instruments because we didn’t have sequencers and drum machines. The electronic thing – Depeche Mode, Gary Numan, Soft Cell and the like – was a welcome...
I've had two. Driving down the M6 for some motor racing show at Silverstone in early Feb, must have been 20 years ago, it was freezing. Inside and middle lanes weren’t too bad, but the outside had...
Hoping to solve YouTube problems I downloaded and tried to install the latest AFP, but made the mistake of not first removing the old one and rebooting. When I tried the install I got the “Not...
When my brother and I were kids we were bought something which I thought was called Multi Rig, but I can’t find anything on the web by that name. We’re talking about maybe late 1960s/early 1970s....
From terrorist attacks to flooding to Celebrity BB, plenty of bad stuff happened in 2015, so let’s end the year on a positive note. What was the best thing to happen to you? Happy New Year to one...
Just having a rave. As this sitcom was only shown on Sky I never saw it, but my daughter brought along a DVD box set today and I have to say it’s just brilliant. I was a big fan of the off-the-wall...
Wow - first ever 'gigs & clubs' post? Do we have many music fans here who regularly go to gigs? What was your last one, and what have you got lined up? Last one for me was Fall Out Boy in Manchester a...
Odd question, hence putting in Chatterbank. Have got some old clothing I want to give directly to a place that will use it, maybe a shelter or someone collecting clothing because it’s needed – I...
Feeling sorry for a friend currently stuck on the A1 south of Ripon. Been stationary for 5 hours (and will be for at least a few more) because of an accident. Doing my ‘best mate’ bit by staying...
OK, I finally succumbed and installed Win 10 to my netbook, a machine I bought from a lady called Francey last year. Logon uses her name but I’d like to change it to mine – but it asks me to set...
It’s very early days and, ultimately, it may not happen, but about 5 years ago one of our top cryptic crossword setters suggested I should write a book on the subject. As it’s been done often by...
Hi all. Someone without a PayPal account wants to send me money and I believe you don’t need an account to do so. Is that right? Visiting the homepage there is a ‘Send’ dropdown at the top which...
Was just searching for Parks & Recreation threads and found yours… and I am now a huge fan. Funnily enough, the original TV trailers for it left me a bit cold, but my daughter is a fan and I bought...
