I did as jukebox suggested about two months ago, a “tune up”, We have a service that protects our printer, tablets, notebooks etc. it was done remotely and took about 20 minutes. My computer, a Lenovo runs as fast as it ever did without adding parts. Worth a try!

Smudger, you never know these days :)

Just read your story Michael, very poignant if I might add! Through the eyes of a ten year old, everything was crystal clear. For your mother and grandmother I am sure there was a lot more detail and raw emotion! We moved from Aston about 18 years before as a 7 year old and never knew anything...

Happy Birthday Michael with many more Happy Returns, enjoy your day!

Welcome to the BHF Andy! Such a sad story for you and your father, when I emigrated it was emotional for a 19 year old but nothing compared to your grandmother, such difficult times!

Do you remember a lecturer Mr Thomas who taught structures/strength of materials ONC came to class in a cloak and mortarboard? Very tough teacher but I learned SO much from him that I have used all of my adult like!

That is great news! Why do these museums and some libraries keep closing for extended periods? It would seem that in a museum for example you would close off part of it and do the renovations and complete progressively. Or am I missing something?

Happy Birthday Michael, enjoy your day with many more happy returns!

According to Wikipedia/Google, National Express started in 1972. National bus company in 1969. NBC took the Name NEC in 1972.

Very well said! I think that most families lived within themselves, not all but more than today. We/I knew what my lot was and for the most part lived within, not that we did not have aspirations of grandeur! If you just look in a modern kitchen, microwave, ice maker (ours makes craft ice), 8...

So very very true! We look at our grandchildren who we love dearly, they have no idea of what we dealt with. They are all embroiled is the here and now, and to be fair that’s what we did! However it would be a great learning experience for them to look back 50 years and see the revolutionary...

I used to start screws with a hammer (never a joiner) now I have self drilling screws on a battery powered portable drill with a very nice led light and magnetic screw holder. How easy is that, sorry off topic!

I like, I remember it now. Have heard that in a LONG time!
