Believe it or not but this isn't a joke, or misinformation. When someone makes up this rubbish to justify spending £532,000 and isn't sacked they can only be working for the government. Basically they have switched CHR(46) with CHR(263) and issued an invoice for £523,000. Certainly beats...

All that time ago and the BBC were distorting the original story. Now totally custom and practice at the BBC. Presumably the BBC are busy 'training' their own AI to avoid any human error by missing to change something that should comply with the BBC rules of truth and propaganda. Satire has had...

There is similar situation in Thailand. There everyone speaks English with an American accent. I can only think that they spend all their time learning English by watching films made in the USA. Some companies (the terrible Virgin Media being one) subcontract support to Asian countries and...

Maybe the Americans would benefit if they learnt to spell correctly? Always a constant irritation to the English.

If you had two totally separate tables how many fields would be different from one to the other? Add it, or them in to one of them and just use one table. Nothing wrong with a field that can only be "S" or "U".

I was never involved with QuickBooks, only SAGE, Pegasus, one other specialist system for construction. Plus a couple of CAD systems. But I avoided directly posting into any of them. Basically on the principle that if anything went wrong ( i.e. operator error being most likely) Then I'd have to...

In the mid 70s Kojak was on TV over here. Then there was one of those ludicrous police situations when they were all supposed to be working late because they loved their jobs, working hard and catching naughty people. Kojak turned to Stavros and said "hey Stavros, go and get some pizza" We are...

Exactly correct Doc! Reliably comes up with brilliant solutions but sometimes forgets, or omits. That's me:)

Not a bad summary of me actually.

For years Access has been software's perennial creaking gate. So many have claimed for so long that Access was dead. Although usually people who either didn't like Access, MS or had never used it. It's OK for prototyping is often said. Like someone has time to create a working system in one...

In the past I have used Access FE & BE on Terminal Server over four remote sites. But only with no more that 80 concurrent users

It appears that some leaders in Europe are patting themselves on the back. Presumably after seeing Starmer ingratiate himself by toadying up to DLT on TV with his invite from King Charles. Starmer was seen in the UK as an appeasing lackey and somewhat embarrassing. Is this sort of thing DLT's...

Following comments on some of her earlier dresses. Deputy PM asked mum to make her something else. She found some old curtains in the wash house and ran up this little number to impress at PM questions.

Whilst everyone tries to keep fit in body, according to new research by the UK Beer & Wine Lobby Group, alcohol fine tunes the brain. As you drink alcohol it will naturally kill off brain cells. During this process the weakest cells are obviously removed. Leaving only the strongest and best...
