Sorry, but my default setting is cynicism which causes me to wonder if all is as it seems in this ‘story’.

He saw the black bag in the garden, inspected it and discovered that it contained a shotgun & ammunition. Did he immediately call the Police??? No. He took in inside his home and only the next morning (so he says) did he take it to the…[Read more]

Look, what’s the problem here huh? So this woman is a legally insane convicted murderess, covered in scars (presumably from previous violent brawls), so she is easily indentifiable.

So she says to the warders, “Hey any chance I can pop down to the shops to do a bit of window shopping; catch up on the latest street fashions; grab a latte – you…[Read more]

Well at least you’ve whittled it down to the graphics card. I’ve heard that Windows 7 focuses particularly on graphical presentation, which means that it is probably quite unforgiving of under-specified graphics cards.

The solution would be to purchase an upgraded (i.e. ‘faster’) graphics card and get one with the Max memory, within your budget.…[Read more]

It WILL be the end of the world in December 2012 …. because by then the final bills for the London Olympics will be in and we’re all doomed …. doomed I say.

OK so we can assume that your son’s installation of Windows 7 was “clean” and re-installing it probably won’t help things.

1. Does he use it for ‘gaming’ and if so – is it possible that there may be some sort of ‘virus’ or similar that has been (inadvertently) downloaded? A full virus scan might be a good idea…[Read more]

Sorry Bas but my knowledge of Windows 7 is as limited as is everybody else’s I guess. The current thinking is that, in spite of Microsoft’s so-called extensive Beta testing, it will still be “buggy” for some time to come (roll on SPI). They trumpeted Vista in the same way and that turned out to be a total heap of ****!

Two observations: Did you…[Read more]

The facts prove you right Pete – he wasn’t abducted or harmed in any way…. as it turned out.

Can you just imaging the Media feeding frenzy that would have resulted if this child HAD been harmed? The youth club worker would have been hung drawn and quartered in a grotesque ‘trial by media’; the mother would have been…[Read more]

Thank God it was only “nearly”!!!!!

I suspect that you all have missed the point of all this stuff about the ‘gruesome twosome’.

Isn’t it heartwarming when a seemingly impossible technical issue gets resolved with a simple bit of advice?

It may well be that ‘back in the day’ parents were a tad more relaxed about allowing their children to walk to school and back unsupervised.

That said,…[Read more]

“Stacey” is Stacey Solomon, a girl from Essex who has a most unfortunate and indeed gormless manner when she speaks (think Wurzel Gummidge but with an unintelligible ‘Essex’ accent) ….. but when she sings her voice is true and clear and her diction is close to perfect. Same shyness and awkwardness as Leona Lewis at the beginning, but she is…[Read more]

OK, there is a point here – but how about we look at it from a slightly different angle.

The youth club worker – in spite of being told very very clearly that they must NOT transport children in their care alone in their cars – decides th break the strict rules of their engagement and does so. The organisers of the club subsequently discover this…[Read more]

There’s a lot of tosh talked about CRB checks (or even “enhanced” CRB checks) and the presumption that a “pass” is somehow a guarantee that the subject won’t do anything untoward.

The applicant supplies their name address and date of birth to the organisation checking them. This is in turn sent on by that organisation for a CRB (Criminal Records…[Read more]

Actually minim, i don’t totally agree with you here. I’m a governor of a primary school and i can tell you that absolutely EVERYONE in anyway connected with doing anything at all at the school HAS to be CRB checked before they are allowed to do it. This includes governors (who generally don’t come into contact directly with the children) through…[Read more]
