Hmm! We have a pro. army. These guys do this job because they want to. They aren't conscripts. We don't decide where they should be deployed, the Government does(any Government). My sympathies go out to all their families but the guys who are fighting know what they are doing and are well aware...

jjordie....in our IT department we often used to run a dirty keyboard under a hot tap for a minute or so and then leave it to dry out for a week. It always worked. Nowadays, with keyboards being so cheap it does not matter but I'm about to do the same to quite a few key-pads on some of the...

Slinky, it be COLD up here in the North East. We have "lazy winds" up here - they don't bother to go around - they go RIGHT THROUGH YOU!! And sussex gardener is right - sometimes my steering wheel is so cold I can't bear to put my hands on it! So gloves are a must for a few minutes at...
