Your Donation Could Help…

That’s one of the reasons I never donate to any of the endless stream of “For just £3 a month” adverts on TV. Your donation “could help” – so, equally, it might not, either fully or in...

The Corner Of The Screen

The wife of a tough Scottish farmer was told that, for a long life, she should add a sprinkle of gunpowder to her porridge every morning. She followed the regime religiously and finally passed away at...

Night Night Song – Not Yet!

...but looking forward to Mamya getting us started this evening because I found something which I thought was lost (from YouTube anyway). It was uploaded in 2007 and even then – according to what I...

Online Radio Times Listings

With the new format, the preview appears when I hover on a programme… but only once. If I move the cursor elsewhere and then back, the preview doesn’t appear. Is it just me and/or Firefox?...

Honda Crz Lockout

Long shot question as this is quite a rare car, but I’m hoping other Hondas have a similar feature so someone might know the answer. The car has a push-button ignition (activated after you turn the...

Increasing Speed

My maths is appalling, so can someone help me out with this? I’m on a motorway driving at 70mph. The satnav shows my arrival time as 8:31. For whatever reason, it’s vital that I arrive at 8:30, so...
