Hopefully our well-spread AB'ers can settle an argument between the present Mrs Hughes and myself. I believe the term 'Merseybeat', used by the media to describe Liverpool pop music in the 1960's, was...
I have a portable hard drive which went faulty three months after I bought it from PC World. Unfortunately, I voided the warranty by having a tech friend see if he could salvage the data - OK, lesson...
In the televised snooker, does the referee read the score from the scoreboard, and announce it, or does the referee announce the score, and the scoreboard is updated?
This fabulous film was on TV recently, and I missed recording it. Does anyone know if this is being shown again anywhere anytime soon? I highly recommend it if you like spooky horror films - but it is...
Was the myth that a Swan can break a person's arm started by Enid Blyton, or was it around before she put it in one of her stories about a cruel boy who got a taste of his own medicine?

I have my emails via G-Mail on my mobile and my desk top. I received a mail on my mobile and pressed a button that i thought was to forward the mail. It appears it has gone into an 'Archive' folder...
We have an Indian friend, in his sixties, and quite often, when he is speaking, his voice will crack into a higher register. He obviously regards this as normal, and maybe it is, although to our...
I received an e-mail this morning, and it has literally vanished.
I have not deleted it.
Not in Spam, or Junk, done a full search, nothing.
Any ideas what might have happened to it?...

Watching an old episode of 'Prime Suspect', there was a scene where Jane Tennyson and her boyfriend were sharing a bath together. Now I love the present Mrs Hughes as much as anyone can love anyone,...
I have started watching 'Not Going Out' on Catch-up, and I find myself mesmerised by how beautiful Sally Bretton is. I remember her from The Office when she was probably just a teenager, and she has...
I am enjoying this series, but why the horrible voice over? He sounds like he's talking to four-year-olds who have English as their third language! Talk properly! I understand spoken Engish, you don't...
