Is the explanation that my friend shared with me regarding the sound of the strange noise that her XP was making as well as how slow it was running when emailing me for my help and advice. Just how helpful was she, eh? Immediately going into technophobe mode I could think of at least nine reasons but I know my friend so well and remembered that if I talked spyware or malware or cleaning the cache...

I DON'T know where Sir Hugh orde, president of the Association of Chief Police officers (ACPo), lives but I imagine it must be in one of those blancmange-coloured cottages in Balamory, where the local bobby really does have nothing better to do than to prance around and sing.

When I was a child, one of the dishes we quite often had for pudding (= AmE dessert) was blancmange , which we pronounced in a thoroughly anglicized way as bləˈmɒndʒ . It wasn't until I was in my teens that I noticed that it looks like a French word. Like junket , this foodstuff seems to have more or less disappeared from Britain by now (and I’m not sure whether Americans...

I’m faced with a bit of a dilemma tonight: either my pain meds are making me queasy, or it’s this column by RenewAmerica rookie Russ J. Alan (Some fear no backlash against Muslims). Since I’ve already ingested the meds, and I can’t seem to stop reading Mr. Alan, there’s no way to scientifically determine [...]

(Sorry to those of you who are sick of the sight of Katie Price's jugs --actually, cisterns is maybe the better word. I am too. In fact I feel positively alienated by them, and haven't visited EMG for days as a consequence. Moving on then ...) Damian Thompson takes issue with the Edenbridge Bonfire 's choice for this year's celebrity effigy--Katie Price, coincidentally enough--suggesting that there...

Just what is it about fast food? Difficult as it maybe to believe if casting more than a cursory glance in my blancmange of a body's direction, but I eat very little of it. Maybe once a month tops. Yet today, for example, reminds me of why I hate it so. Without wishing to bore for Britain on the reason, we had fish and chips tonight. It smelt great...looked good...cost a ruddy fortune...and the first...

It’s not often that I find myself at the wheel of a truck on a Saturday, as the company I work for has a very enlightened policy towards weekend working – the gates shut on Friday night and re-open Monday morning (except when a fly lands on the perimeter fence and sets off the whole alarm system, but I live too far away for that to concern me). Today, however, was different – I was...

Back to the grindstone: you may remember I had a two-inch layer of MOT on the path which once I'd got the capricious and frankly malicious whacker plate under some semblance of control I managed to compress to a pretty good solid layer.Step 5: start mixing your mortar. I went for a 1:4 mix of cement to sand which seemed to work pretty well. You slosh a bit of water in and then squirt some washing
