Elderly folk in Britain haven't been careful! We have a similar site to Forum Garden called SagaZone (Saga is a magazine for "oldies"). It has just been shut down because of unpleasant comments, some really nasty and racist. The organizers have just had enough.

Chocolate ! Of course I would have to keep sampling each new batch as it came in. Don't suppose though I would end up making much profit!

<t>Defrag is only really needed when your drive gets full up. You can check the percentage, but it only really matters if everything starts to slow up badly.

<t>Seems to be some confusion about changing an email address. (those that know all about it, don't read any further). If you have a POP address, which is one usually set up when you sign up with a company, it will usually end with the name of the company-eg. (your name @ aol com). If you...

<t>WINSTON CHURCHILL. Just to find out if he was the great decision maker that was needed in the time of war, or if he really was the obstinate old bugger that half his staff considered him to be. There are so many stories about the man, but to talk to him directly could have been an eye-...

<t>I have nothing planned for today. I'm sitting out in the garden, the sun is shining in a glorious blue sky. There's a gentle scent from the colourful flowers, the birds are singing in the hedgerow, and occasionally a butterfly drifts by in the warm, gentle breeze. It's absolute bliss - what could...

My mother found it increasingly difficult to keep up with all modern technology and the increasing pace of life. She was always shaking her said and saying "I've lived too long".

Trouble is, I'm often thinking the same!

<t>Memo to Marie and Richard. There is one thing that is not very often mentioned about memory sticks. Yes they are wonderful to use; so easy to put files and and so easy to get the gen back, no matter what computer you use. BUT - remember that this wonderful, tiny storage medium is so ea...

Wish I'd never started this. Now I've got to quickly get a gang of brickies together to repair Hadrians Wall. I'll just leave a small gap to let them all get back home, and then quickly seal it up.

Yes, we get along fine. The thing is, that when you reach your later years, neither of you have the energy and strength to argue anyway!

Might be in trouble here, but is there room for our Prime Minister? Make sure you bury it deep so nobody will find it for a very long time! Afterthought! - what will the finders think it is, and what did it do?
