Ha - this is one of those occasions when daddy doesn't have the answer. My daughter just emailed to ask if I had any ideas about what she should look at for work experience, and I really don't know....
When my 5-piece band rehearses we all wear wired headphones. An audio feed from PC recording software is sent to a multi-channel box from which we have separate headphone outs – it’s a basic unit,...
Feeling a tad chuffed, as Talk Talk - I've been with them for a good few years - have given me a belting mobile phone deal. It'll more than halve what I pay on PAYG and double what I get for it. I'm...
According to my Chambers thesaurus crescioni is a type of pasta, but the meagre Google results I've found point towards a type of bread. I'm happy to accept that the latter is true, but does anyone...
For some reason my Yahoo email page (which I've got set as my homepage) is completely blank. If I input the yahoo.com page and click the email link on that I get the same result, a blank page. Tried...
My PS3 was fine until an hour ago. After a quick few rounds of Everybody's Golf it was time to eat, but with nothing watchable on TV I stayed with the PS3 and accessed BBC iPlayer. I first had to...
OK, I tried firstrow for sports TV streaming, but had to reinstall it. When I did so I ended up with search engine hacker mysearchdial which is now stubbornly sitting where Google search should be...
Really sorry if this sounds distasteful, but I’m asking purely as a matter of interest and it’s come about because of a question I was asked yesterday. A female friend (just a friend) was talking...
I’m asking this because of something that’s made me a little bit angry. OK, I’m in a band. As part of that, we often upload photos to our website. As it happens, I have no fingers on my left...
Perhaps not an automatically logical category for 'daytime TV', but bear with me! Daytime TV has long been the butt of jokes for its relentlessly poor quality, and I’m wondering if broadcasters are...
My daughter's iPod debit card account details were hacked recently; only found out today when I had purchase confirmation emails for the same app downloaded about 15 times. I've changed the password...
I know this was covered in a recent thread, but my devilish ;o) mind just wanted to throw a different light on the subject. I’ve tried to read as much of the press coverage as I can but, as is...
My daughter and I are both on Vodafone PAYG and she is currently on a school trip abroad. I'd like to be able to top her phone up from here, just in case she's low on credit. Is that possible? Can you...
Has anyone here, who has children at school, received a letter about the Government’s new strategy regarding unauthorised school absences? Ostensibly it’s saying that parents can be fined for...
Had an email from my mum to say that a couple of days ago all of the emails in her Sent folder (Yahoo) disappeared, asking me if a virus could have done it. I said it seemed unlikely - other than...
If only my phone just told me about the arrival of calls and texts! I get a seemingly endless stream of spam notifications (You may have won an iPad!) and some of these come with what they claim to be...
I've always enjoyed Wimbledon but have always been disappointed at how little coverage is given to the doubles. I know the singles matches are on the go most of the time, but still feel Auntie could...
Running on XP on a pretty old PC, I've always used Word 2002, but I've been thinking of installing a more up-to-date edition, so a couple of questions: Which is the most recent version of Word that...
Reading today's newspaper I saw a Currys/PC World ad for the new Microsoft Office suite for an attractive-looking £79.99. Sounds good? No. That £79.99 is for ONE YEAR'S use. You then pay £79.99 PER...
