Has Hamas ever asked for an end to this conflict? Or even a ceasefire?

At home. As a structural engineer I was surprised how they could collapse into themselves so quickly. Later I understood it was to do with the desire for the fastest lifts/elevators that left them vulnerable. Mind you, I don't believe that any building could withstand that level of force.

I've thought for maybe ten years, nothing is private anymore.

I'll look at those. I have experienced payment failures when buying in another country on a credit card. Everything proceeds until the final payment conformation that falls over. In the end I switched off the VPN and it went through Ok.

I see that Prince Harry of Montichito is trying to wheedle his way back in. Presumably it is due to Megan's nagging because they've run out of material with Netflix. Or maybe divorce is around the corner? The marriage has already lasted longer that I thought it would. Megan probably never tried...

I have been using Access since the last century and have never used a calculated field in a table. Mainly because I've had the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I'm not totally in control of them.

Why do so many sites now need you to confirm you are human? It must be a piece of spy software similar to CAPTCHA that logs some other site to log onto your PC. Generally, I will immediately close the prove you are human tickbox. Then find another that doesn't. I am always on a VPN, so I don't...

They are probably switching on the phone camera as well. All electric cars and some other newer cars have microphones and cameras inside and outside. MG and all other Chinese cars no doubt download everything for whatever reason. So if you have an MG, apart from knowing exactly where you have...

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...

I rang Boots up the other day and after the number options it said "If you want marijuana, press the hash key"

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...

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...

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...

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...
