I saw the profile last night on BBC4 - she is still recording and touring - 27 albums on from when she started. That says something for a girl with no experience picked from a party and put into a...
Steve would have been 57 today, a sad loss to wildlife TV. I loved his endless enthusiasm, and his devil-may-care attitude - "Now this critter is asleep, and it's only really dangerous if you poke it...
Peter has died after suffering from tongue cancer. Another sad loss. The Monkees were hugely underrated as a band - apart from their amazing line of hits from Boyce and Hart, their own songs were...
I always have Google as my opening page when I click on Microsoft Edge. For some reason, my PC has decided it would like a change, and opens with Yahoo. I have tried following the instructions to...
Years ago I was seriously phobic about the dentist, I had to have Valium to get in in the building, never mind up the stairs and into the chair! On one occasion, I had to forgo my tranquiliser because...
A considerable amount of time was given over to a group of black people who have formed a walking group. It was ludicrous enough that the piece was edited in such a way as to make it appear that a...
I really don't enjoy any food very much at all, so I am struggling to get the right nutrients into my system. For fruit, I like grapes, melons and apples, and that's about it, and I am not fond of any...
When I sign in to my G-Mail account, instead of opening my e-mails, I get a page telling me I can manage my info, privacy and security, but it doesn't tell me how to get past it, and into my e-mail...
I have had some images mailed to me via Dropbox. When I drag them into my Pictures file, and click to open them, I get a large blue screen with a box on it saying Downloader in the top left corner....

When I returned to my desk after tea, I find a note written in my handwriting.
It says 'Daniel Boone' and it's taken me over an hour to figure out what on earth it means!!!!...
I have to place some images on a website, and my daughter has photographed them and mailed them to me. When I uploaded them on the site, they are too large, and large sections are cropped out of the...
I set up a Facebook account lined to my phone. When I went on my desk top to find it, it couldn't be located, so my daughter assisted me in setting up another one. Now the first one is sending me...
I sent out a round robin mail to thirty-five recipients three days ago, and have not received any replies. I have sent a test mail to another of my mail addresses, which has arrived OK. I believe I am...
The media has got itself into a massive robble about David Beckham's speeding fine, and the fact that he has employed an expensive lawyer who has managed to get the case thrown out....
When I type the name of an AB'er - Retrocop - in correspondence, my auto-correct turns it into 'Retrocopy' and I don't always spot it before submitting. Is there a way of telling my computer not to...
I am enjoying the re-runs, never watched it regularly the first time around.
It's a serious joy being reminded what a goddess Courtney Cox was, and indeed still is!!!...
