Various local chemists are telling me that OneTouch Ultra Test Strips are out of stock, unavailable, and even discontinued. Anyone know what is going on? (I suspect the usual profiteering on behalf of...
I want a new 4-port extension for our Macbook Pro, and Belkin have always been a 'good name'. Are they still a good name? Anyone recommend any other hubs - one problem with our current one is that it...
When our family (me, sister, mum and dad) went out on one of our rare outings (no car) it only recently struck me that what we took along (Thermos, sandwiches, etc) was all carried in shopping bags....
I have yet to hear ONE solid example of this alleged rampant antisemitism in the Labour Party. Innuendos galore, tittle-tattle and gossip, but no hard examples. Is it just part of the ongoing...

Bronchial cough for 2 months, starting to go off, but means shallow breathing. CAN’T breathe properly, makes me cough, so I breathe shallowly. Could this cause enough oxygen deprivation to make me...
Nick Cohen, writing in The Observer, makes a very strong argument that there never WAS a coherent exit strategy from Europe. It was a bit like invading Normandy but having no idea what to do next....
Bought a Miele washing machine through John Lewis. Very expensive (£1400) but the last one lasted 15 years, so probably a sound buy. Anyway, Miele say 'send us the sales invoice, and we'll send you...
Having got rid of Kaspersky (trying to charge me 3 times the 'new' price for renewal!) I'm happy with Norton, but there are a couple of niggles.. On Norton Safe Search, it throws up a list of 'quick...
