Does anyone know of a website where I can advertise what I’m looking for as opposed to selling? Searching on Ebay for what I want can be hit and miss – seems sensible to have a website where...
The pinball game Space Cadet used to be an addiction - not so much now, although I did download it to my Windows phone - but I've just thought about something that used to happen with it. On one PC it...
One of my FB friends has a habit - not too often, thankfully - of sharing his own posts on my timeline. It's never anything distasteful; all that bothers me is that he does it without asking...
I use both of these on Firefox. The obvious candidates are blocked (advertising and web beacons) but quite a few are listed as 'analytics'. I have to guess these are just tracking my online presence...
I’m looking for a compact, reasonably priced camera which allows you to set your own exposure time. The night mode functions on the two cameras I have are OK but the exposure for each is fixed, and...
My daughter will, I’m sure, pass her driving test next year, but her age will inevitably mean a high insurance premium. I’ll be looking to buy a car for about £5000, but I need something that...
…went to work this morning really upset with me. I have this tendency to make jokes about her size. Must admit I’m feeling guilty. But I’m really going to make it up to her this evening. Have...
Triggered by a dream I had a couple of nights ago, I started to think again about the events surrounding the end of a relationship – this was about 20 years ago! I realised two things (doesn’t...
I'm attending an event in Piccadilly this evening and plan to drive down via the M1. Obviously don't want to drive into the city, so I'd like to park and use the tube to Piccadilly Circus. Where do...
My daughter has lost her iPod. Is there anything I can do to get it de-activated? I’m sure there are people who can get round iPod passwords, and her iTunes account uses my debit card details. Help!...
After watching Brian Cox tonight I thought to myself “Yeah, if I wanted to spend an evening just talking about ‘stuff’ Brian Cox would be my ideal partner” – I love his intelligence,...
Sorry – can’t find a category for this so have gone for ChatterBank. I bought 2 tickets (originally for my daughter and me) to see a band at Wembley Arena early next year; these are for the...
My daughter brought her console (the original one) with her when she came to see me yesterday. A few weeks ago it switched itself off while she was gaming. After a while – don’t know if that means...
After weeks of fiddling, Firefox is still pitifully slow. It’s reached the stage where – as an example – YouTube videos play for about 10 seconds then stop, not even attempting to buffer (same...
Looks like I’ll take the plunge and go from ‘standard’ broadband to fibre optic, which I understand will involve an engineer coming to install. Just wondering what is involved. The main reason I...
It was just a casual suggestion to a friend who is far more of a soccer fan than me. Yes, I follow a team but he’s a season ticket holder and has pretty in-depth knowledge. My idea was to abandon...
Running XP on an old but previously very reliable PC, I’ve got two major problems with it. If I open a folder containing media – audio or video – and right click a file it can take about 30...
