It probably has, but just a bit obscure !! For curiosity :-- Have a look round for a "Num Lock" key, on my laptop it is to the right of the top row "Fxx" keys, near the "PrtSc" (print screen). Press it and a led should light up somewhere. A group of keys on the right of your keyboard will now...

May I be so bold, to say that this is a fundamental problem. If you accept the institution but object to an individual you will have a continuing problem. (not least because they will continue to breed !) Rewind to Magna Carta which did well ( in its day ) to limit the freedoms of...

Awwww, sorry, that was my fault for answering "republic" in response to your request for an alternative. I muddied the waters and as a consequence I seem to have got flecc into some bovver ! Lets not end it on that note, twas a good natter so far ;) You said earlier and I would say that...

Good point, yes I remember the Barracks business, topped his carbuncle nonsense of some time earlier.

Any such 'damage' would be limited (possibly even neutered) if we required all royal correspondence to be published, then they would only have the constitutional role. I think we have a QI moment here :) I can already hear the klaxon sounding if I were to say "Republic" ! I guess that is what...

Yes ! Technically, though, they can only do damage to those things that are the responsibility of our parliament if our politicians (in particular the cabinet) allow themselves to be so influenced. However we know that our politicians are upstanding principled people that would not suck up to...

68kg, so that's ok then :) ! Many thanks for the review, most interesting. :) :) yes, very tempting, price is in the easy bracket , ,

Hi Alistair, that was a quick reply, thanks. suggestion = maybe prepare a map edit : on your website /edit of the vicinity and facilities for us out-of-town hicks in the stix

How right you are ! But being of somewhat advanced years myself I'd rather not dwell on that/those aspect(s) of life Would he have to sell his mother's house(s) to pay the care bills ? ????? as my offspring may have to do,,,

Agreed. As a newbie to this forum I decided that the initial urge to buy an eBike ('this week') to try out this mode of transport should be moderated to a 'read and learn excersize' over at least a few months (till the spring maybe!) So I was delving in to this thread from time to time every...

Hmmm, on reflection I think I should amplify that ! :- I bear him no ill will, nor early demise, on a personal humanitarian level;. If he abdicated and became an 'ordinary' person I'd wish him a long and fruitfull life. However, as he is a potential monarch I have a political view of his...

I'd prefer it if she outlasted Charles. I agree with all flecc's posts wrt to Charles and his interferences in government (aka "black spider letters") ( I hope my agreeing with flecc doesnt damage his reputation too much ;) ;) hehee ) -if- this was not blatant party political ensnaring of the...

The "right to bear arms" in their constitution, when was that formulated ? In the times of flintlock, muskets, muzzle loaders, swords ? If their laws were restricted to ancient arms perhaps it would make sense. However, "arms" in the modern world has quite a different meaning. A nuclear weapon...

Except for the poor Canadians who have now been denied this paragon ! The poor, soon to be impoverished, Canadians ? :) d'y'know it seems only a moment ago that bigEddieG was chiefie-in-charge, can it be a whole decade of sir merve, dear me, how time flies :( Alister Darling for chief...

When you put it like that , , yes, true ! ;) Perhaps there should be a sub-forum called "Discharging Post" !! :) :)

and very naughty of you ! Mansion Tax to me is typical of their hypocricy, a few years ago they were bleating on about the iniquitous Council Tax being tied to property value with no relation to ability to pay (little old widow still living alone in the family home) and thence proposing a local...

Good one Jim, I can trace my paternal ancestors back to English 4g-grandfather/3g-grandmother (I think 4g-gm was Welsh! heck!!) [My maternal ancestors were border reivers, so we dont know if they were hung for stealing cows from the English or sheep from the Scots, so we dont talk about them ...

Debate and BNP, isnt that an oxymoron ?

Hahaa, you are trying to 'foster' a disputation ?:) , beware this thread may need to be 'taken into care' :) :) If that is all they are then I would vote for them, sadly they pretend to be a mainstream political party with a prospect, so they feel the need to have policies on all other aspects...

Hahaa ! V.good. But consider : who is the fool, the person who built the gym in town or the person trying to get there ? I was recently identified as a potential candidate for a (new) heart-drug trial, would have involved visits to BRI, middle of Bristol, no parking, impossible to get there...
