Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

I've just had the Norton notice again asking for restart and updates so went ahead , its done now so have to see what happens . I do auto renew cynic as i like to keep right up on security .

Both my windows 10 (HP) machines run slow after a few days. For some reason they are getting thousands of internet clutter, although I use them only occasionally and clean up virtually every time i use them. I run Norton on all my computers. The Mac has no problem.
The clutter started only a couple of weeks ago and typically I have to remove over 4000 pieces of garbage each time.

Just googled Windows 10 updates and there was an anniversary update , one thing that's been happening is freezing of page which i was getting this morning had to switch off at main switch twice but then the update message came on so did it . What a day .

me too
i have restarted having completed updates and was then asked to run "quick scan" which is now in progress
taking its time but it's quite an old machine and i haven't used it for a couple of weeks

IT - perhaps you need better firewall or built-in spam filter

btw norton has now finished its biz, so reckon that was the trick

Fred , just the 3 :-)

Norton is awful. It slows up PCs

The PC brigade are out i see . I've got it , it works OK for me and going through torturous things like what's the best security etc would drive me nuts .

Vicky,

Don't do it.

Things are bad enough at the moment.

Why you run out of Wine .

Is there a

You still run out of wine then Freda .

The 9 white perpetual students (black lives matter) that stormed the runway and delayed flights at City airport for more than 6 hours were all let off without a fine. How nice. Urban warriors no doubt. I think I will try that at Heathrow this afternoon. Obviously airport security and the civil inconvenience of 9000 travellers are low down on the list of priorities of our judiciary. It is not only the ECJ that needs a good shakeup.

Perhaps they highlighted the lack of security.

that is irrelevant .... that they had been a "public nuisance" at the very least should surely warrant a fairly chunky fine

Check their pockets to see how much they can pay, or else who is going to pay for the keep and the likelihood of repetition of offence.

thanks hays .... unfortunately can't find it as i'm sure it's interesting

Looks like there's a lot of support for a change in the law about using mobile phones whilst driving.

When the driver uses a 'hands free/blue tooth' set up this is a very similar activity to, say tuning a radio or adjusting the temperature on the car's heater/air-conditioner.

Is this latter sort of car telephony use OK and a satisfactory alternative way of using a mobile phone? ie. Hands free phone use is OK?

I can't really get my head around why it is/was OK to, say take one's hand of the wheel to hang it out of the window to do a hand signal or maybe flick ash of a cigarette and do this whilst actually driving the moving car - but not to do, WHILST THE CAR IS STATIONARY AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS, say take a munch of a ham sandwich or a slurp from a drinking bottle.

The term "using a phone at the wheel" does need some clarification.

Do the authorities really mean "holding a mobile phone at the wheel"?
