With my fortnight-long European road trip coming up in August I'm tempted to replace my comparatively cumbersome Bridge SLR with a pocket-sized one with wifi connectivity - I like the idea of...
Can anyone recommend an MP3 player - but NOT iPod - which can be used while plugged into a USB port? Reason I ask is that I bought a 8Gb Sony USB 'stick' player for the car. It's great, except that...
A friend pointed me towards a free add-on called Privacy Badger: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger I've just installed it and it's great for those of you who worry about some of the cookies you end up...
So I spent a lot of time feeling 95% it would be a Ford Focus TDCi. And it isn't. On Saturday I'll be collecting a delightful 2010 Honda CR-Z hybrid sports coupe in white. 17k on the clock, 65mpg,...
You see it all the time. A film or TV programme where a detective discovers some gruesome remains and is physically sick. Or someone will say to you “The sight of it actually made me sick”. Why...
…turns out to be truly despicable. A guy connected (once) to my band used to regularly help us out at gig set-up and, as a whiz in electronics, often helped us with emergency repairs. We always...
Reason for posting this isn't really to plug the song as such (it's just that it turned out very nicely for a first rehearsal) - I actually want to ask a question of fellow musicians. I'll be honest....
My daughter wants a particular t-shirt from a US site, but it appears to be available only in X-Small.
Anyone know what this would correspond to in UK sizes?...
Hi folks, just wondering if any of you can either confirm or allay my concerns about something. Tiny bit of background first: My ex and I split up about 12 years ago and we have a daughter who I love...
Coverage of snooker matches on TV often includes match stats between frames, and there are two (presented as per centages) that always make me go "Hmmm"! LONG POT SUCCESS. At what point does a pot...
So I’m pretty much set on buying a Ford Focus TDCi (diesel) on a ’12 plate. It fits my budget of about £9k (for which I can get a car with about 40k on the clock), has road tax of £20, good MPG,...
Yay, finally got the 2048. Eventually finished on 29772. That thing about keeping the bigger doubles in the bottom 2 rows was the key, although I was forced into using the UP arrow a couple of times...
There doesn't seem to be an appropriate place to post this, so I'll take a punt here. In the 80s, maybe 90s as well, there used to be a nightclub just off the main road between Bognor Regis and...
It always seems to be the case that renewal premiums are very easy to beat if you look elsewhere. Car insurance renewal through my current provider was quoted today at £423, which seemed very high,...
Saturday wasn't a great day for gaming! My daughter downloaded Monument Valley to her iPod and it won't launch. I treated myself to GTA5, which I'd been umming and ahing about since its launch. Xana...
Like 2048, Monument Valley is getting rave reviews. The idea seems to be to rotate/move parts of Escher-type landscapes; looks lovely as a puzzler. However we can't get it to work. My daughter has...
At long last we have a live video (I’ve had to use photo montages for previous efforts). This is short compilation of some songs we did for a showcase event in Stockport. It’s the 3-piece version...
Watching the BBC4 documentary about the possible global effects of a tsunami triggered by the collapse of a small volcano in the Caray Islands, I'm wondering. If I throw a rock into a pool of water,...
