2x ambulances; 1 paramedic, 1 emergency helicopter, 1 fire engine, and 7 police cars, 2 police vans. All within my street at the moment. A quick enquiry, suggests it's a neighbour, friend of mine, who was found collapsed, alongside his car. The report they got, was that he had been run over by...

Today, particularly, but yesterday too - the site has been slow/impossible at times to even load. Is it just me? My connection otherwise is running at full speed.

I think I may at last, have diagnosed the cause of the issues I have been suffering increasingly over the past year or so... anxiety or panic-like sensations nighttime restlessness cognitive fog / confusion hot–cold swings heavy limbs or muscle weirdness inability to get comfortable episodes...

My sm's were supplied with an horrible, fairly useless liquid crystal IHD, long ago. I spotted a much more capable, used Chameleon IHD7, and after checking it should work with my meters, I ordered it, but the instructions for it, say very little about it's connectivity, other than it sounds...

I emailed the seller, via ebay, they requested a photo of the problem as a reply, I tried three times to send the photo, each time it was rejected, so I sent the photo to the sellers registered with ebay email address, and explained to the seller. Seller continued to ask for a photo, so I began...

Interesting reminder, on what things cost, life back in the 50's, and what we put up with in the way of appliances in the home back then. https://www.1900s.org.uk/

A load of shots of Farage wondering around the countryside, by the coast, muttering, accompanied by some over-loud music, and I couldn't hear a word he had to say.

The first house I lived in, in the scullery kitchen, was a small chimney, in a corner, which had been blocked off close to the ceiling. I had always assumed, the chimney had originally served a fire, and a tub, for boiling washing, back in the day.... On TV, HuH, they had what would seem to be...

On TV this morning, Rip Off Britain, there was a mention of a scam, operated by a company by the name of SBJ, using the County Court system.... SBJ would issue a claim against a company, or individual, but issue the false claim against them, but at a none existent address. The court papers...

We have snow to the west, to the east, to the south, even to the north of here, apparently quite a lot of it, but we have seen none of it here - nowt, but clear, blue skies throughout.

After a while of use, especially if I open lots of tabs, I'm finding Firefox slows down the loading of websites, to a crawl. This happens, even if I close the unwanted tabs, to get it back to my basic ones. FF 146.0.1 64bit, on Win11 - thought it seems to have always been a problem. The fix, is...

I ordered burger and chips, for delivery, a few weeks ago and paid via card. The bill, presented at the end of the ordering process, was the cost of the burger, the delivery, then a service charge on top. Is a service charge normal for such things, and what actual service, on top of the basics...

I'm busy faffing about with an Elkay, PIR replacement for a wall switch. Which I used to have, in the utility room, to switch the light on, when you walked in there, with your hands full. It worked fine, until the wall switch position, became hidden behind a new freezer, so I replaced it with...

I've just come across this and it's great at both repairing photos, damaged by age, lost colour, creased etc., it is also good at modifying the photo, increasing, or reducing the age of the apparent subject of the photo, fitting/removing glasses, changing hair style. You just paste the photo...

I've had this before, on BBCi, so not a one off.... I missed the start of 'The war between land and the sea', and so thought to take a look on BBCi, except the picture is unwatchable, it's so very dark. I know our TV is a bit lacking in brightness, but it's set up at maximum. Yet, watching via...

I seem to have got my home address, on some sort of scammers list, or at least I keep getting mail, addressed to a corrupted version of my name. How do I trace back the source of the list?

Several weeks ago, I complained to RM about letters being delivered delayed, and in batches, along with junk mail. I also signed up to NOT receive junk mail. I received an apology from RM, and for a few weeks, the junk mail also stopped. This morning, another yet batch of mail, and a pile of...

I think that will exclude 99.9% of the immigrants, but such a test, would exclude 95% of the white British in the UK ;-)

I've been repairing a very compact 35w HPS wall mount fitting, which had a failed e-ballast. The original ballast, fit precisely, inside the case of the fitting, but replacements of the original ballast are very expensive/near unobtainium. This, is to replace a LPS fitting, high on my house...
