Do young girls (and blokes for that matter) spend hours in their bedrooms practising opening their mouths so that all their teeth are on show? Just struck me that when most 'celebrities' smile they...

Television fixing. Dangers?

Hello. My ten-year-old Phillips TV works fine, except for the speakers. One sometimes fails, unless you tap it firmly in the right place. Also, the headphone jack only works on one channel...

Vapona-type fly killers

It seems you can't buy Vapona fly killers any more (the short that just sit there and let an insecticide into the atmosphere). (Apparently if you eat several hundredweight each year you might get...

CD recording on DVD

I can play CDs on my Panasonic DMR EX75, no problems. But why can't I record onto the HDD from a CD? Is it a question of settings, or something more fundamental? Thanks. Allen.
