No Nige, I didn't buy a council house. I got married in '68 and bought a 2B/R dilapidated terraced house a stone's throw from Anfield, bottom of Everton Valley. Got CPO'd in 1980, lived in rented property ‘til 1989 and bought a three bedroom town house on the outskirts of Liverpool. Interest...

I've listened to the link that Prentice posted and I agree it's undeniably Sam Cooke on that video clip. As I said in my opening message I have the track by Sam Cooke, on his Portrait of a Legend disc and it sounds quite different to the early recording. Better get myself along to the...

Dodgy subjects Politics or Religion, but for what it's worth here's my abridged comment. During my lifetime the best Prime Minister was Harold Wilson. He stabilised the economy and created employment. He introduced the Open University for the benefit of people who had ability but didn't have...

Female? I'll have to check the batteries in my hearing aid. :D Thanks for watching out for me, Big Bear

Haven't watched any TV today, the wife's got the remote and she won't watch Sky News, but I should think so. PM

Thanks Big Bear, I've been there and can't see anyone that would fit the singer. Many of them I've heard before and some are female singers, so they are ruled out because it's a male vocalist. Maybe when the series begins some one will post the answer. Thanks for your help, it's appreciated. PM

Recently, Sky News has been flashing a trailer for a new drama series, soon to be screened. The series is called MAD DOGS and it is set in Mallorca. The trailer is accompanied with a version of the George Gershwin song; Summertime and although I've tried to find out who sings it, via TV forums...

Hi All, Friend of mine is in a state of panic. He got one of those screens that said something like; "We have scanned your PC and there are 20876 virus, worms and trojans on your system. Download System Tool to remove them". He, in ignorance, clicked on the button and downloaded the pest and...

Update: Tried an auto search in TV mode (if that's the right term) and it finds several 'snowy' stations, but won't settle. After the scan it reverts back to the floating box with the words; No Signal I tried it on my neighbour's who has digital aerial setup and it found the same snowy...

That's the problem Colin, I can't scan. When I press the DVB button on the remote nothing happens, it won't search.

Cheers Monkeh

Yes, done that John. I tried it in my grandson's room where he also has a similar TV and his is working fine, but the wife's doesn't when connected to his aerial.

Hi All I'm in trouble again :( I bought a new CCTV security camera to install over the front door. To give it a trial I balanced it on the bedroom window ledge and ran the cable to the wife's 19inch Medion TV in the bedroom. The secuity camera worked fine, crystal clear picture for a couple...

Will do Owain, PM

Thanks Woody.

Being of the older generation I like to listen to the radio, so I put a DAB wish out to my kids. I've looked at a few on various sites and I can't find a decent review of DAB radios per se. One reason I am attracted to owning one is the pause and replay feature that I heard DABs have. So can...

Phew! I'm pleased to report that it has been sorted out. It appears that Firefox (I removed I.E.) blocks the validation process so you have to download a plug-in and then the process continues to completion. I'm glad that's sorted.

Hi All, I have a problem that isn't of my making and I'd appreciate some guidance if possible. To start! My old PC finally packed in so I had to bring an old laptop (AJP 8375) out of retirement. It had dual boot Win XP & Vista so I reformatted it with a genuinely purchased copy of XP. After...

Sadly, these kind of rip off charges will be the norm with the Tories in power. Regarding the return of the full deposit. If and when you move in; Get your camera and take photos of EVERYTHING, Doors, Plumbing, Windows . . . THE LOT. Don't leave anything unrecorded where the Landlord can...

Thanks John. PM
