Inspector Lynley

Can anyone put my wife out of her misery and say who "dunnit" in last night's episode? She watched it until after 9PM but went to sleep before the end. I'm not a fan of Inspector...

Exercising puppies

How much exercise is good for a four-month-old Border Collie, do you think? Two miles a day, three, or what? There's a lot of conflicting info about.

Norton Antivirus 2002

I have discovered to my surprise that a full system scan with the above is not as full as you might expect. We use Windows XP and have four XP user accounts. If I log on as myself the full scan does...

Dog escape

We have a young dog which is reasonably well behaved but circumstances mean that it has to be left in the house for a few hours each day. It copes OK with this (doesn't howl or act destructively) but...

Puppies

Could anyone give me an idea of the likely price of a beagle or border collie pup from a reputable dealer. Not a show quality dog, just to keep as a pet. All I can find on the net are US sites....

Mobile phone masts

There is talk of a mobile phone mast being erected in our village which has generated the predictable bleats about the possible (but as yet unproven) health risk. At the same time, most of the...

Spyware (part 2)

Further to my earlier question about the respective merits of Spybot and Ad-Aware, I've now installed Spybot and run a system check. It has disposed of a bit of unnecessary junk but there are some...

Memory Metal

I've seen some adverts for spectacles made from this. The idea is that, if you sit on your specs and damage the frame, the metal will return to its original shape. When I've had new specs that needed...
