There were two series of books with these titles. One was a series of erotic novels, the other were science fiction. Does anybody recall these or the authors of either?
This has bugged me for ages. It was a female singer, late '70s / early '80s and I remember the lyrics as being: Have you loved someone you've loved before Have you heard their spirit banging doors...
I'm doing a bit of research into shops that were around in the '80s. Where would I go to find out who the parent companies or owners were? Companies House or would the local libraries have the...
Hi, I'm trying to plot a dodecahedron on an ancient 3D program (VU-3D on the ZX Spectrum, in fact). What I need is a set of co-ordinates for the vertices, either absolute or relative... it doesn't...
Hi all, I posted a question a couple of weeks back about a numbness in my chest. This has now progressed to a sensation of swelling and a presence under my left ribs. I've seen my GP, and he's...

I called BSM last night on their 0845 (20p per minute) line, around 7:30pm. I was told that I was in a queue and gradually moved up after half an hour to 2nd position, being told repeatedly that there...

Hi all, A bit of a weird one here! I'm helping some friends move a very old bit of software called Photosoft onto a new machine (the old one is a Pentium II running XP SP3). The new machine is running...
Apologies in advance if this is a morbid question; it's needed for a script that I'm working on. What would the situation be if a vet discovered an dog with Rabies in the UK? Would the average vet be...
