Another Royal Wedding

Casualty

So, Casualty bites the dust once again spoiling my Saturday night viewing. This time it's been taken off for The Last Night of the Proms. Couldn't they put this on BBC2?

Smart Meters

Poem

Was at a funeral today of the husband of a schoolfriend of my daughter's. It was a humanist ceremony and I must say, as a traditionalist, I missed the hymns. However, the songs played were very...

Mp3

Friend send me a music file which I can't open. She says it's an mp3 music file. Can anyone tell me in simple language how I can open this to listen to it? I'm a real technophobe!
