One thing still puzzles me about the TV parade of competitors following their respective National flags. Many flag bearers had someone to their right carrying a fairly large goldy copper coloured...
Having watched on TV the Olympic flame being carried for many miles and for many weeks, I unfortunately missed the end of it and the lighting of the symbolic ‘cauldron’. Who lit it and...
It must be there somewhere and I'll find it eventually. What am I looking for? The time of the Olympics opening ceremony. Can someone point me to it please.
I'm looking for a folding chair-bed, something easy to use and with supporfs that will keep the open bed up off the floor. If anyone knows of one I'd be grateful to hear about it.
I'm concerned to find that I cannot insert various symbols including fractions such as 3/4, 3/8, 7/8 etc. when preparing emails. I don't often need to but thought it should be possible by clicking the...
I've tried to re-arrange a very over-crowded clip organiser and have deleted many unwanted clips and pics. In Unclassified Clips I'm now left with about 40 thumbnail squares with a red cross in them...
A few days ago during a thunder and light'ning storm I switched off and unplugged my recently installed new computer. When I switched on again all that came up on my screen was a page to do with...

I need a new vacuum cleaner, preferably upright and light weight. All the adverts I have seen so far are for the bagless kind. I used to have one with a so-called Hepa filter but didn't like it...
There are many inexpensive wrist watches available these days. These are quite useful except that the wrist bands can be a problem - either they break after little use or they are too hard for...
I'm not usually bothered by advertisements, but the Wonga ones on both sides of the page, with arms going up and down, are really most irritating. Does anyone know a program that will stop them?
My rather old cordless twin-phones have given a lot of trouble lately and I intend to replace them. Most of the adverts include answering machines, but what is the point of them? If I'm not available...
When I send a picture (jpg) as an attachment to an email it also appears on the face of the email. Why is this please and can I stop it happening? I am using Outlook Express 6.
My old computer was crashing 2 or 3 times a day, so I got rid and now have a new one. The Quick Launch Bar at the bottom of the screen is twice as wide as it needs to be, and icons at the right hand...
