I've never used What's App, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and any others that I've not heard of, and guess what , I'm still alive and communicating with family and friends.

The real question is should a dumb 74 year old past his sell by date who only uses email, browses the Internet and does a bit of Excel move from win 8.1 to win 10. All opinions appreciated. Brian PS I do some online shopping and banking to but I know that the difficulties with win 10 and...

Council tax reduction is not a right just because you are a pensioner, it a means tested benefit , which as usual discourages aspiration and saving, the level of savings that disqualifies you is pretty low. However you missed the point if the 4 working children left home the council tax for...

Why is the council tax fairer, an old couple living on a small pension will pay the same as the family of six living next door with 4 children working, they won't pay anything but will be entitled to vote. It was the idle left that rebelled against the poll tax not the poor such as my mum and...

Let me clear a few things up 1 I was wrong to say the uk poll tax was on a sliding scale, it was not, but some people eg students, only paid 20% of the rate. 2 you had to pay poll tax to be on the voting register 3 yes I do object to those who contribute nothing having a say in how the money...

Well it was not ignored as I responded, so you must mean I poo pooed it IE I disagreed with his statement, I guess the I was not supposed to do that. One other major point, you obviously see Doc as a gun nut, I don't, he has never come across that way. Brian

The poll tax was on a sliding scale, my old mum who only had her state old age pension managed to pay it. Why should those who do not contribute have a say in how the money is spent? Brian

Of course the benefit system is flawed, but to make it fair would require an army of inspectors and could cost more than it saves, nonetheless I am sure some simple changes could be done, tightening it up would be a vote loser, we saw what happened when Maggie tried to introduce the Poll Tax...

We're you asking for the criteria using text boxes on a form or with pop ups.if the former make sure they are formatted as dates if the later use the parameter keyword to format the pop up. Specify parameter data types You can set the parameter to accept only a certain type of data. It is...

Doc who supplies the weapons is immaterial as they should only exist if you are part of a well trained militia not just for the hell of it. Brian

How does he get a bus pass at 50, is there something you are not telling us? Brian

ALC mentioned his wife in his op , if we include observations of others then people who insist on pressing a button already pressed, eg pedestrian controlled lights, lifts (elevators?), why do they think it will make things happen more quickly? Brian

Coming on this forum and arguing with Blade, that must be the biggest waste of time in my 74 years. Brian

Having an extra slice of coffee and walnut cake Brian

:confused: :confused: Any chance of an English explanation? Brian

I've raised this point more than once but the gun nuts won't respond in an intelligent way, if at all. Notice that Col wants somebody to start a thread that meets his standards and that would interest others, why doesn't he do it? Brian

Plog DocMan addressed tad's post in the very next post. Is it wrong to correct a flawed formula? That people jumped through hoops to say it was not totally wrong was either a bit of fun or stupid, it is wrong , end of story. the formula I gave is 100% correct 100% of the time, and yes there are...

LOL yes I didn't allow for the fact that used NOW() not DATE() so maybe you are correct, in fact you could follow the trend if we start in 1/1/13 then in 14 it is 6 am , in 15 it is 12 am , in 16 it is 6 pm and in 17 it is correct, then we repeat the cycle. :D But let's do it correctly as per...

I am sorry doc but this is fundamentally flawed, a person born 1/1/15 will be 1 year old on 1/1/16 but that is only 365 days thus your calculation will return 0, thus it is incorrect on all birthdays for three out of four years , below is the correct calculation Age: Datediff("yyyy",[Date of...

Aw! Come on Frothy, don't you know that the only reason Japan didn't invade America was because the civilians owned rifles which they would use to shoot down the Japanese planes and destroy their tanks? No!! Then you haven't been paying attention to Blade's and D7A's posts. Brian Sh@t I had...
