    Good to see you back Colin but not so sure about the comments on Charlie's widow. One thing disappointed me following this sad event was when the Governor of Utah was stood with a line of officials behind him and he confirmed that the shooter was in custody. From the TV reports shown in the UK...

    There was a documentary on TV recently about the biker gangs. Hells Angels, Indian etc and they appeared to be casually and incredibly violent. Until I saw that I had the impression that they were a bunch of Teddy Boys that were locked in time and never moved on to a car. Not so it seems. They...

    Trump Administration Predictions

    The planning system for new housing estate in Britain is similar. Every site of new houses by law has to contain a specific number of what is referred to as social housing, or affordable homes. The result is that those houses fall into disrepair and are easy to spot You can see £million houses...

    Yikes! The UK is serious about tweeting

    Yes Jon it was. Always a person with a pleasant disposition to people she doesn't like which appears to be quite a lot. She claims to be a comedian but all I've heard her come out with is abuse and sarcasm. As an aside, she was a nurse at one time. Just imagine coming round after an operation...

    Yikes! The UK is serious about tweeting

    From what I understand he hasn't incited violence in the neo-terrorist understanding of violence. It has been similar to a tweet stated in his current trial which was similar to "if a woman finds a trans in a women only space, then she is entitled to kick him in the balls" . He tends to make a...

    Batshit Bonkers Brittain

    You probably know Raynor of No Brainer video fame has gone. Apparently at 3pm on Sunday a celebratory beep signal will be sent to everyone's phone. At which point everyone is expected to laugh and cheer now that she has been removed. It is called the Raynor burp. Unbelievably some considered her...

    What's your best/worst joke?

    A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, “Doctor, doctor, I can’t feel my legs!” The doctor replied, “I know you can’t, I’ve cut your arms off”.

    Yikes! The UK is serious about tweeting

    Graham is Irish, a citizen of Eire, the Irish Republic. Not Northern Ireland British. He uploaded those posts from Arizona a couple of months ago apparently. So if any US citizens post anything that the British police think is unsuitable, or someone objects to, then watch out! If you come to...

    Tip of the Day - Mothers Maiden Name

    I recently had my main email use a CAPTCHA demand to check my recovery email and enter the code that had been sent there. I opened the recovery email and that also required me to enter a code it had sent to my phone. By the time I’d all done that and returned to my main email, it had timed out...

    Why aren't they escaping Gaza by crossing the border with Egypt? And why isn't aid being sent in via the Egyptian border? It appears Europe and Russia want to control Ukraine. My guess is Russia will win. Nothing has changed from Alaska with Putin and the Trump and Europe so called summit...

    Batch file for updating local frontend Access database copy

    Personally I would never issue a batch file to a client for any reason whatsoever. There could just be some clown who alters a batch file, causing a sequence of errors that I would be obliged to fix. I would always create the batch file and then convert it into an EXE file before issuing.

    What's your best/worst joke?

    If I'm asked for my email I have two options. The first is that I'm far too old for those new fangled computer email things The second is the name of the shop @gmail.com

    Relationships for standard & special rates

    Consider also maintaining price lists and multiple price lists. At an annual price change, rates will need to be entered in the weeks/days prior. Then on the day of the change all existing rates will need to be replaced with the new rates. Plus, you may need to maintain records of old price...

    To Merge or Not To Merge... Backends

    Maybe you don't need to? If the data is working fine why not just open the two of them from the merged FE? There is no restriction to opening more than one BE database and keeping them open. I often did that in my software. As a for-instance: I had a weighbridge program and a skip hire...

    Late Stage Capitalism?

    It is only a matter of time. The plan is to increase prices to ensure that all cars look cheaper if paid for by the mile or on subscription. One plan/dream, that I cannot see happening but it might. Is for car ownership to cease and if you want to go anywhere you will call a driverless car on an...

    Which begs the question : Is Drag the 21st century equivalent of the 20th century blacking-up? At the end of the day they all tend to be stereotypical 'tarts' intended to make fun of women as an attempt at entertainment
