I'm getting really ticked off with this today. It won't let me attach anything to emails. It won't let me download attachments. I've virus scanned and rebooted and it still won't let me. Tried FAQs...
My oldest friend (and mentor, ex boss, person who set me on my career path, and whom I love dearly) is 50 in a few weeks. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him. The plan is to have a...
If you don't like duck then you are really rather stuck (Basil Fawlty). I have a crown of Gressingham Duck which I am going to cook for our supper tonight. Not sure what to do with it. We could have...
I am getting close to committing a crime here. Mr BM's aunt died last week. His ex has been kept informed. The funeral is Thursday at 1000 in Scotland. We have to go from here (Cambridgeshire) to...
Can anyone help with the elusive Ms Wilson, please? She married Andrew Reid on 7 December 1860 in Kilmaurs, Scotland. Her father's name was given as Andrew Wilson (ploughman, deceased) and Margaret...
Through the good offices of AB, some kind and intelligent soul talked me through getting BBC Iplayer throught the XBox. Can the same be done for ITV Player? I missed downton last night...... If so,...

Unfortunately ASBO has eaten something caustic which has blistered his mouth. I took him to the vets tonight as he was salivating beyond words. He had an antibiotic shot to deal with the blisters in...

I'm working on a case concerning wages and salaries. Can anyone direct me towards a clever bit of software (or a website) where if I key in the salary details it will give me amount of tax and NI that...
the daft twit I live with has cocked up (again). He took a call from someone on Monday and forgot to write down his details. Now I actually answered the call so I can remember the organisation name (a...
Mr BM has been on anti-depressants for some time now. I have no doubt they are working because he is far calmer. The big problem is getting him up in the morning. He'll sleep through alarms,...
Now stop laughing, this is no longer funny. For the third time this week I have had a complaint that my cat has attacked someone's dog. We get a lot of dog walkers round here. Last night apparently he...
The weather is pants and I am rained off so I have brought you lovely ABers into my kitchen (which is a Grand Prix free zone). I am going to open a bottle, put on my music and COOK! So if I were...
The Red Arrows just did a low pass here over the lake in 5-4 formation. Heading East - on the way to Lowestoft from Yeovilton I guess. Fantastic. My timing was perfect, I'd just gone for a nosy round...
I gave myself a nasty burn the other night - it's about the size of my little finger. It blistered and I dressed it. I have just taken the dressing off. The dressing is green and my arm looks like I...
My OH confided last night that he has had an aching leftie for "several weeks" (in Mr BM speak that probably means "several months"). He says that about 15 years ago he was told he...
I've got two haddock fillets in the fridge which I really ought to cook today. Would like to make it slightly special for Mr BM who has had a very hard day working.
Any ideas?...
