I've just got a Blackberry Curve 8520 - OK, I know it's not the latest model but it was a real bargain - but I can't seem to change the sound it makes when a text message arrives. I assume this is...
If the Lib Dems were to form a government, which part would be 'The Opposition'? Would it simply be the party that came second? Can't you just imagine the miserable faces of the ones who came third?!...
I remember reading on this site several months ago that lots of you recommended not changing from IE7 to IE 8. I was happy with that, on the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' principle, but I'm now...
I have - or 'had', I think! - a Coprosma Pacific Night in a corner of the garden. I think it's almost certainly dead; no leaves, very brown. But there seems to be some springiness in the twigs and I...
When I was freeing up some space on C drive I deleted (or thought I had deleted) some photos from my camera softwareand transferred them on to F (and also made a backup CD). While I was searching for...
I think this question may have been asked before......Earlier in the year we put down quite a lot of loft insulation. When I went up into the loft recently it felt distinctly damp. I store out-of...
I used to be able to clear the list of topics I had googled by clicking on the 'Clear History' button. That seems to have disappeared. Please can anyone suggest how I can get it back?
I have a Christmas cactus, which is now at least 10 years old and beginning to look very nice. At the moment it lives in an add-on extension, i.e. quite cool, next to an outside door. I'd like to...
I've recently deleted one of My Favourites from my list. It was a discussion group for something which has now finished; I used to receive emails whenever a comment was added to the site. I am now...
Good morning and welcome for the last time to my reign as Lady Jill. I was sorry to see that there were fewer entries than usual last week, and hope it was because of the good weather and other...
Good morning and Welcome to the third week of my reign as Lady Jill. As the weeks go by, I become less and less like my nom de plume of tearinghair and more serene as a Lady ought to be! I note that...
Good morning and Welcome to the second week of my stint as Lady Jill. Let’s see if you can repeat last week’s “Pointsfest”. As further background, I’ve lived in Warwick...
Good Morning everyone, and Welcome to the first week of my reign in which I attempt to bamboozle you all! To begin the process, I have clearly bamboozled Crofter in finding me a suitable royal title....
I recently had to unplug the PC, since when I've had to sign in to everything all over again. I'm having trouble with Yahoo Mail; previously I only had to sign in with my password every couple of...
I have Norton Security 09 installed on my PC. OK, I know what you all think of it, but I'm stuck with it for a few more months yet. I keep getting a message asking me to go with Identity Safe. Is this...
Some time ago I accidentally trod on some bluetak on the carpet, and didn't notice it for a while. I tried romoving it with ice cubes, then with heat, but nothing worked and now it's firmly embedded...
I'm not much of a gardener, but have always looked after the roses, leaving most of the rest to He Who Must Be Obeyed. This year I cut them back quite severely in March, so they are only just starting...
A couple of times in the last few days an item has appeared at the top left of my screen 'MCI command handling window'. I've never seen this before. Should I be worried, and can I get rid of it?
