Tizer, I've downloaded the manuals and when the migraine eases I'll have another look at it. Looked at the 'Kids do' examples but daren't try the karate chop or I may finish up letting go. One of the reasons for getting a second phone, Mrs P has an old smart one but refuses to allow me to touch it q...

The future outlook on corvid transmissions gets gloomier by the day. Some of the recent studies are throwing up some alarming facts. 22% of people who tested positive didn't know they had the virus at the time of testing. This would imply that even though they were responsible enough to have a test ...

Later... no apology from Number 10 on care homes only a lame explanation. Charming... Blame shifting has been going on a long time... See this wiki entry “Men are only clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others.” -Titus Livius (59 BC–17 AD) Titus Livius (“Livy”), a Roman h...

Cathy, Its easy to let flower shrubs get too big especially if they are the kind that flowers on last years wood. Cut them back and you lose the benefit of the flowers the following year. Some you can trim back immediately after flowering and with a bit of luck still get flowers the following year.

I'll keep quiet, don't want to appear too vulgar by taking it from Gloria.

You will be fine Ken, it's Android so easy peasy. Ian you have more faith in me than I have. I only had hold of it for twenty minutes and it nearly finished up in the bin three times. Actually I did manage to connect to our home internet and get google on the screen but then it went downhill from t...

The current raft of internet billionaires initially had a good idea and made their millions, I have no problem with this success. After getting to this point they can employ the best analysts, programmers, lawyers, market managers, investment mangers, the list goes on. In effect the extra money they...

Robotic science? I have read about super computers using IT algorithm programmes to look through thousands of drug reports to compare additional drug usage possibilities. This is far quicker than human searching which could easily miss a correlation that could save months of work. .

Joined up for 1p mobile, £10 for sim and credit for 4 months or until its used up. Sim card should arrive in a couple of days then its headache time again. Initially got me a little confused when they were offering a memorable phone number for £20, or one which would be more forgetful for £2, they n...

Played one of his big hits just last night. The Good the bad and the ugly. This is one of the bigger orchestra pieces. The good the bad...

(Mine is usually lifting something too heavy....) Never find heavy things a problem, you know they are heavy so you're always walking round testing and feeling and getting your balance right. Its the lightweight things that catch you out. Leaning forward to put shopping in the car boot, lifting a l...

To hold pot gobblers.

Trump wrapping himself in the American flag and pushing the American dream. Vowing to defeat rebels, left-wing, and Marxists, all enemies of the imagination. Boris following in his footsteps with a 'buy British' slogan. If this is the only thing they have to offer Lord help us.

A good way through ' The Dark History of the Tudors ' Henry V111 and all that. A book my pal lent me, being a Frenchman found it interesting but mainly its a picture book with a brief synopsis of what was going on. One of those books I would perhaps pick off the library shelf as a background read. C...

Almost brain dead as it is. I can just about manage OG as long as I don't go off piste and get into areas that are not in the current listing. What with a Starship Enterprise of a car plus a mobile phone (never had one before) and the smart TV acting the goat I need a hour in a dark room by the time...

One large firm, a household name, has just paid a £750,000 dividend but industry experts say that the drop in their asset prices means that on a realistic valuation they are actually insolvent. Talking of asset valuations. When my friend was selling one of his low cost 'for rent' houses during the ...

This very minute (8.45) just taken deliver of my Moto G7 phone from Argos. (£99.95) + delivery. Mrs P busily unpacking it and reading instructions. Somehow I get the feeling that I'll have to lever it out of her hands. Next problem is remembering who to get the sim card from that have been recommend...

Ian, Obviously you are right. It was when I was attending the well mans clinic not long after the scan had become available I asked at the desk if I was eligible for the scan. I was told in no uncertain terms that I must get approval from my doctor with priority given to those who may need surgery. ...

I've read most of Dawkins books probably the easiest to follow is. 'Climbing Mount Improbable' where the creationist view evolution as a cliff face where everything happens at once. Dawkins turns it round and says look at the gradual slope leading up to the cliff which took millions of years to reac...

I believe in Australia they buy their drugs by collective negotiation to get better discounts on bulk purchases. The NHS does similar deals for the majority of their drugs. The noises coming from the proposed trade deals between the UK and America is to stop discount purchasing and make the NHS pay ...

How DO you support a free service? If we accept that it is structured to be free at the point of delivery and we are happy with the way it is structured. ie: a socialist service, we would be supporting it by saying "keep your sticky capitalist fingers away" . From what we have seen is that introduci...

How do you support a free service? ( do you mean via charity shops?) I suppose the first question is 'who pays for the charity shop'? In most cases the 'goods' are given free and the majority of the staff work for free but after that there are hidden costs that someone is paying for. Even food bank...

Boris and Trump being defenestrated.
