I partly watched the re-run of 'Dirty Harry' a few nights ago, it's one of my all-time favourite films, I watched it the week it came out and must have seen it dozens of times since. But now I find...
I see Richard Madely has been taken to hospital 'as a precaution' after falling ill on the show. I remember forty years ago when we as a nation watched aghast as Clive James showed clips of...
I have inadvertently put a formula into an Excel cell.
The cell now has a tiny green triangle in its bottom right corner.
How can I get rid of it please?...
We spent the weekend in Belfast with friends, and on Sunday morning, walking down the road, I saw a man who was the absolute double of Jimmy Page, and he was carrying a vinyl copy of the Presence...
The Mail has got its trolleys in robble over the 'sleaze' accusations regarding this politician. I wonder whether the angst is caused less by the fact that Sir Geoffrey has a second job, or the fact...
As I sit typing this, I can hear distant bangs and thumps in a way I imagine people heard noise from the Front a few miles away in WW1. I would love to think that this was it - but experience tells me...
I am enjoying the re-rums of UFO on TV at the moment. I remember really liking the 'future' ideas for 1980, back in 1971 when it was shown - driving on the right, space travel as a routine, and the...

There is a fascinating piece in today's ST Magazine about Paul McCartney's new book, in which he discusses his lyrics through the years, and the ST prints a section of lyrics by each part. One of the...

I am downloading and converting songs to MP3's. My PC (Windows 10) used to show my MP3File on the left hand side of the File Explorer, now it doesn't. If I search for the song, I can find it, and go...
Hi Ladybirder, Thanks for your kind interest. I completed my cruise and my four Talks, at the weekend. I am delighted to advise that they were very well received, and I am awaiting feedback fro the...
I was a 'disaster - end-of-the-world' scenario, and I remember a man and, I think, his daughter standing on a beach as a tidal wave several hundred feet high rushed in to claim them and everything...
I have seen Sam Simmons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Simmons_(comedian) Australian comedian three times on Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown. On each occasion, he has displayed disgusting...
