SANTED

Well ,well I wondered where you’d got to Quiz is back on Fridays if you fancy it

get bucket throw windows 10 in it buy an Apple

They suggest that you take it to a vet who will dispatch it for you for a fee

For M.M... Re- your grey squirrel caught in a trap Wildlife and country side act says it is an offence to release back into the wild any grey squirrel caught in a trap. It must be humanely dispatched as it is illegal to release it back into the wild Some time ago the RSPCA successfully prosecuted a man who trapped and drowned a grey squirrel

Nothing compares to a good whiff of Castrol R motor oil

congratulations to you both TED

Without wishing to resurrect the thread I’d just like to say thanks to Vaughn and Chris B for mentioning the books that they enjoyed reading .After a googling session I tracked down copies of both books and they’re now in my possession and I’m looking forward to some New Year’s reading . Regards TED

Sounds good .I'll try and make it

I had the same message but when nobody else mentioned it I though I must have dreamed it

I bought a bottle of whisky while on holiday in Scotland many years ago called “AS WE GET IT” It’s a pure malt whisky 104 percent proof and 59.4% volume I’m still plucking up the courage to open it

Just had a call today. A lady with a very heavy accent telling me that her name was Christine from TalkTalk and that I had a problem with my Router which they could fix. I like to string them along until I get bored by asking loads of questions like “How are you today? “ " What’s the weather like there?" (That throws them a bit) ” Are you having a good day then?” And finally “How many people have you scammed today then?” This usually ends the call as they slam the phone down

Really good fun quiz but unfortunately I was chucked out and couldn’t get back in again .I thought the chatroom was down for the evening. Better luck next time

Congratulations Poppy I too got married in 1968 and as Mary Hopkin was warbling at the time “Those were the days ”

An absolutely beautiful run but you need to decide if you want a one way trip or a round trip. Have a look on the Le Boat web site for ideas .We’ve picked up from Cassafieres and Homps. All the locks or ecluses are manned so no bother there. The Neuf Ecluses de Fonserannes at Beziers is a nine lock staircase, marvellous feat of engineering, once seen –never forgotten Just watch out for the huge commercial barges as they take no prisoners If you get chance have a look at the Rick Stein DVD “French Odyssey” in which he travels down the Canal De Midi and get a feel for it

Get two pieces of wood approximately 4” square. Mark one as A and the other as B. Place the ant on piece A and hit sharply with piece B Works every time

I always smile about the old story about Rolls-Royce cars. It concerns a wealthy owner who was touring in the South of France and the half shaft broke on his rear axe. He rang Rolls Royce in England and they put him up in a very expensive hotel and sent out a team to replace the half shaft and he carried on his way. On his return to England he rang Rolls Royce to ask for the bill for repairing his car and fitting a new half shaft etc. The reply was “You must be mistaken sir, Rolls Royce half shafts don’t break”

Had a problem some years ago with ants in the kitchen, bit of a mystery where they were coming from as we have solid floors. One evening we left a half empty can of Schweppes dry ginger ale on the work surface and the next morning when I poured it down the sink it was jam packed with dead ants. Did the same for the next few nights with same results until the problem was resolved, no more ants (but at least they died happy)

Hi Polly I’ve had similar problems so the first thing is to scan them to computer. You’ve then got a copy and the deterioration is suspended there until you’re ready to work on them. regards santed

this is a copy of an email I got from "Barclays".Very crude attempt but just shows what the scammers will try on.I've deleted the "link" of course barclays.docx

I think it may start with SPORTS.....and end with some Scottish chap

I decided to update my old computer running windows 7 to windows 10 just to have a look at it before making a final decision on which O/S to go for. After running all evening then all night it came back with an error message "Code C1900104 installation failed". Anyone else have this problem? I did a fair amount of Googling looking for an answer but most of it was too Geeky to be true One suggestion which made me smile was “just stick with windows 7 till you get a new computer with windows 10 ready loaded”. Probably the best suggestion so far

Well I think it’s just a case of personal choice. I’m in the AA simply because it covers the person and not the car meaning no matter where we are, in any car, we’re covered for recovery. Incidentally I got locked out of my car once due to a faulty car alarm and the AA man had some very interesting ways to get back in

Women and cats will do just as they please, and men and dogs should just relax and get used to the idea. You spend most of your life trying to climb the ladder , And when you reach the top you find it’s been propped against the wrong wall

I’m adopting a “wait and see” approach with windows 10 before accepting it. On windows 7 at the moment but not impressed with Microsoft after many years and many versions Now it seems to be moving towards annual subscriptions. Even considering ditching it for a Mac or Ubuntu

I had a similar problem with my computer The nice man who came to fix it said Don’t worry it’s just a PICNIC problem and fixed it I later found out PICNIC was Problem In Chair Not In Computer
