Talk here about whether the next James Bond should be a woman. Why not a transwoman? At the start of the film he/she could stand at the end of the empty sewerage pipe. Then instead of pulling out the gun and firing it, they could shout down the pipe "Well hello honky-tonk" The plot could be...

It does appear that Trump has given in to Putin and will advise Ukraine to give away a great deal of land for peace in the short term. Putin is not a general by any stretch of the imagination. He was ill prepared for his invasion and knew little of his enemy. In three years he has achieved only...

Sometimes I'd print the statement out on a piece of cardboard, with the message "THIS IS A STIFF REMINDER" in large letters. Occasionally, I'd threaten County Court and they would always pay up then. A solicitor once told me that it was a simple task to do a DIY County Court claim. Providing I...

Many years ago I was at a client's office and she did the Rightclick which I didn't know about then. I thought, "hell I'm supposed to be the expert here, better sharpen up!" Many users don't know that Ctrl+; will copy the cell above in a spreadsheet and a field in a datasheet. They were always...

Well MajP, after all of the years using Access I have to admit, I didn't know about Shift+F2. Probably the single most useful feature I've seen in some time. Plus really useful to be able to expand the entries on editing a Query screen.

I've just had my dog chipped and now use him as a backup device.

The oldest profession is actually the DJ. They've been around since records began.

Just a thought. Why not have an RIP topic? Then this and any more of them can be sat in one place. If someone else is added next week they'll have another topic and we'll end up with the departed scattered all over the place each with a cryptic title. Maybe a new one in Non-Access issues, or...

@DakotaRidge When I supplied software I would take the Microsoft advice of database sizes as maximums and not as a challenge to prove them wrong. It isn't a competition. Yes, sometimes a customer ran databases oversize but I always advised against and refuse to support it. I regarded fixing...

Sometimes I 'll stick some code in the OnCurrent() event and simply refresh certain fields.

Although only slightly related but it brings to mind something I read somewhere years ago. Which was that functions should be stored in Modules rather than on forms for security reasons. It was claimed being in Modules they cannot be decompiled/hacked from an ACCDE as easily, or at all. (can't...

About 18 months ago an Australian politician said that the plus on the end of LBGTQ+ was there for paedophiles. From what I gathered at the time, the comment wasn't universally accepted as fact. But the Aussies do tend to be challenging and a little more direct and less woke than they are in...

It is t do with porn and preventing "children' having access to it. If the government is concerned why teach five and six year olds about trans people and goodness knows what else? In the UK a sixteen year old can vote at the next election but they cannot have a smart phone until they are 18...

I do fear that we are becoming a totalitarian state. It all cannot be laid at Labour's door, although they are enthusiastic. The last so called conservative government laid many of the foundations to where we are today. It is the European way to pass decision making onto unelected officials...

Illegal immigration according to Starmer is 'Irregular Immigration'. Are you on top of it? "Oh, yes we have signed agreements to sort it out" It isn't. It is out of control and appears to be going worse by the week. Over 25,000 illegals this year alone. When they arrive they are given free...

In the UK we were embarrassed to see and hear Starmer be a little less than honest and it has been suggested, somewhat deceitful to Donald in their press conference at Turnberry yesterday. In regards to immigration and free speech.

Reminds me of the song with the words "sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time" The thing that gets me is when these guys who clearly have nothing to do and little imagination. They actually think this is a hobby and a great event to go and watch. But obviously more friendly than shooting...

By the way, where is Colin from Essex these days?

IIfley is just a part of Oxford. Oxford is Ok, pleasant to wander around. Our youngest lived there for a few years. There are loads of places like that in England. Broadway, Bourton on the Water, Bibury, The Slaughters, Wallingford all close by. Some actor, Robert Mitchum I think, once said "it...

After a Windows update I'll always check if MS has helpfully switched Telemetry back on. As well as also checking Inking, Tailored Exp, Diagnostic data etc. I do wonder if it is all futile as they clearly state that they will collect some diagnostic data that you cannot switch off. For 'only...
