No - that didn't work either

Neither of those worked. Tried changing the resolution, as that was my first thought at what the problem could be - but no such luck. As you also spotted, no scroll bar, and you can click inside where the writing is, but you can seem to get it to go "off the screen" or highlight all the te...

Very surprised at some people's ages, I must say!

Ok, I'm 29!

is this a laptop or a desktop ? I would try connecting it to another screen and see if you still have the same problem. Since you said you formatted and re-installed windows twice then this is looking like a hardware issue rather than a software one. Very weird though! Not such a bad idea - its a l...

I'm in the same position as you Scarlet!

Arrgggghhhhhh!!!!

But isn't 29 the defacto longest year in a women's life I have some friends that have already celebrated their 4th 29th birthday :lol: :lol: Well when I hit 30 in February, I will overtake my sister for the first time. She claims to still be 29, despite being 29 for 13 consecutive years now!! I've ...

and it certainly was not moi :shock: :shock: :shock: I hope my secret isn't out! Fayz, you promised!! But in all seriousness - it wasn't me (before some of you start thinking it was!!). I knew where Fayz lived/worked before I became a mod - and besides, I'm not clever enough to abuse my powers like...

What is "frandship"?? Sounds quite dangerous!

Morning all!!

Moved to Politics forum.

Mr&Mrs - you have been warned on numerous occasions before, and still you insist on attempting to heighten racial tensions. It won't work, so don't waste your energy!

Sorry to hear that Ian.
Sometimes the body can react in amazing ways, and you never know, just seeing an old friend again (you), might be as good as any treatment available.
Best wishes

Zoots

I suspect the door trick works on some older cars, you know, some of the early remote central locking keys, as opposed to the modern encoded keys you get now.

Has anyone tried the battery thing and got it to work??

Guess that explains the mystery PM's that are sent to the good lady members of this forum!!

One tip that does work is if you have walked away from your car, and then realised you haven't locked it but the car is out of range. If you hold the key directly against your forehead it will double the distance of range!! This does actually work!! :) That's because your body acts as an antenna. I...

Well, its supposed to be subtle and unobtrusive. Guess I need one of those new, sleek looking shark fin antenna's??

I've just had a thought (ok, run with me on this one - it doesn't happen often!). If Dubai is so over-run with guys, then surely, all things being equal, there must be a place that is over-run with women?? Anyone any ideas?? I've got my suitcases packed ready to relocate to wherever this place is!! ...

Shame you are in London then Sara

And a good thing that I'm very near to Nottingham (the city with the highest ratio of women to men in the UK!!). Just don't tell my girlfriend I said that (good thing she's on holiday!)

And why did he not come to the big meet etc (although we were lucky enough to have Smartd join us)??
If he makes money out of every post on the site, he owes Arnie and Liban several drinks!!

Well, life must go on I guess!

Oh, and she is mighty fine - but needs to keep that tan topped up!

Can't see it. It just shows the original post. That's strange mate. I'm not a mod here so can't check on that for ya. Only us Mods can change the Polls once they are underway! I've added your "both" option, and am just about to add Ian's "None" option - but I sincerely hope nobo...

What's the deal with this toothbrush Ian?? Would you recommend it??

zaidinamdar wrote:wouldn't it be simpler and more understandable if we stored the number against the name "EMERGENCY"

Only problem with that idea is that I have a number saved on my phone called that, and its the number that I call in emergencies - not the number I want calling on my behalf!

Ok, big update people. We have problems!!! The Zimbabwe Dollar has been replaced by .................... The New Zimbabwe Dollar.

Well, they are about the same size as a golf ball anyway.
Could be classed as senior management - my Uncle was a senior manager at a bank, and every wednesday he used to play snooker and ping pong (or Table Tennis) with his boss - and lose of course!!

I could understand your comments if my salary was related to the amount of posts I made, but I can assure you it is not. Mine is :wink: Chill :wink: Enjoy you weekend as well.
