I haven't used Windows Live Mail for years. I opened it by mistake today, and found several hundred outdated messages. They are all now in my Trash box, but I can only delete them from there one at a...
I was a bit late getting this quiz so haven't seen whether there have been any amendments. Just one I'm puzzled about (I'm not asking for the answer): can anyone who is doing this quiz tell me if the...
I'm having a new carpet fitted in the landing, stairs and hall in two weeks' time. Thought it would be sensible to cheer up the skirting board with a fresh coat of paint. Before or after? I'm sure...
London bus syndrome - no problems for ages, then two in as many days! I've discovered that a couple of emails (Macmillan quizzes, actually) didn't arrive, over a period of several months. Definitely...
In the last few days I seem to have lost the ability to print documents from the internet. I'm getting just a Save or Cancel button. Word documents are OK. What am I doing wrong, or why has it...
I had a butterfly in the garden (Warwickshire) last week that I didn't recognise. It was small to medium size, quite a bright red with a black border. My butterfly book thought it might be a large...
Sorry to bother you all again; I'm discovering the joys of gardening in my seventies, and need lots of help. We have aquilegias (self-seeded) all over the garden. Some are just coming into flower,...
I had a phone call just after 7 am, telling me there was a message from the sms delivery service, press 1 to hear message. At that time in the morning you do worry if there's a family emergency, don't...
Have received an email from applymyesta.com telling me that I need to renew my ESTA for travel to USA. I think this is a scam - or at least, a company that will charge over the odds. However, I think...
I have a couple of Golden Wedding roses, which are looking very healthy with lots of new growth. I usually know what I'm doing with roses, but have always had HTs before, and these are floribunda. Do...
Every year I try to grow aubrietia (aubrieta? - I've found both spellings),but it never takes. It must be the soil, I suppose, though gardens on both sides and opposite have gorgeous trailing displays...
I've been trying to glue a curtain rail to a plastic backboard. Using loctite 60 second all-purpose glue. I have managed to get it all over my fingers and it won't stick the silly thing together...
I was fiddling about with my tablet yesterday, trying to free up some space. Deleted all emails. Fair enough, that was intentional; but in the past they have remained on my PC. This time they have...
I cannot log on to my BT email account this afternoon/evening. The rest of BT is OK, so I did the live chat and was informed that many other customers have been in touch with the same problem and it...
Just been watching an item on the news about defibrillators. I have an Advance Decision in place, and would not want to be resuscitated if I had a heart attack in the street. But how would people know...
To anyone doing this quiz, I'm absolutely not asking for an answer, or even a clue, just checking a date in the question; 11b) is the year 1942 correct? I have an answer that would fit most of the...
During the recent heatwave I thought it would be a good idea to turn up (or down? - I mean make it colder) the thermostat on my fridge-freezer. Then discovered that items in the salad drawer were...
In the past this has been easy, following the instructions kindly given by answerers (?)of this section. Trying to do this now, though, it doesn't work; when I click on History (this is in Google...
We've recently had a stretch of bamboo removed from the side of our garden which gets sun in the morning and early afternoon. The ground isn't very good at the moment, though I'm planning to have it...
I've put one set of figures in the wrong boxes (looks like £1000 instead of £100). I can't see how to correct this - I'm sure I've seen instructions in the past. Can I just cross it through and...
