yesterday was a nice sunny day, so the driver in front had the top down on his vintage MG Midget. Sitting the passenger seet next to him was a massive black labrador. Driver and dog gazed aimlessly...
On Good Friday my Tesco mobile ceased to function - it would ring, but I couldn't receive calls. I took it in to my local Tesco, and the phone shop manager advised me that it was faulty and would have...
I quite like Lisa Tarbuck on Radio Two, although I am rarely in the car when she is on, the only time I listen to her. Lately though, I guess someone has told her she has an attractive giggle, because...
Paul Weller wins damages in a court case against the Daily Mail website. Personally, if 'public interest' was the yardstick by which the Mail's website was judged, then its endless shots of 'toned...
I am so looking forward to this! I absolutely loved the book - for a debut novel it was startlingly well executed, every sentence was put together so well, and if the film is half as good it will be...
Watched last night. It's still too much of him being a comedian, and not enough of him being a host. Parky was always too far one way - batting soft questions over to elicit tired old stories, and...
Following on from CJHorse's thread below - what have you spent hours on that you will never get back? We sat down a couple of Christmases ago with all the family to watch the much-vaunted 'It's A...
Ernest Hemmingway was once challenged to tell a story in six words - which of course, he did, poignantly, and effortlessly. I would never dream of putting myself in his orbit, but I have managed to...
I have been hooked on The Good Wife since Series One Episode One. I think Juliana Margulies is just a classically gorgeous woman, especially the still shot they use on the credits. The way the arch of...
I have managed to do a system restore on my PC, which has given me my original Skype account back. I have changed my password, and had a mail advising that the change was successful - but it still...
I tried this in technology, but the answers didn't help - thanks anyway! I had to uninstall Skype because it was playing up. I have re-installed, but the new opening page is not the same - there is...
I know this should be in Technology, but a similar question has been sitting there unanswered, so I thought I'd try here. I have had to re-install Skype, but it doesn't offer me a chance to find...
I have lost sound on my PC - it won't play CD's or YouTube clips. However, my Skype is working, so it's not my speakers. I have tried altering the default media player out of and back into Windows...
I am using Windows Media Player (Windows 8) to burn a CD using MP3's. When I hit the 'burn' button, I get an error message saying that one of the tracks is not recognised, but rather unhelpfully, it...
Does anyone else see Susanna Reid's much trumpeted move to ITV as a disaster waiting to happen? You would have thought, after the utter shambles of Chiles and Bleakley, that ITV would have learned its...
