Maz, wouldn't the real police station tell them it's a scam?

It's fascinating on the latest Americast episode to hear what a Democrat and a Republican politician have to say, as well as getting the inside view on the Supreme Court problem... The death of the US Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, is still dominating the conversation in Washington. Jon...

Stanley, I thought you'd have installed the Gnome Screenshot app, it's dead easy and allows you a choice of options. Click on the Ubuntu Software icon to open the software store, click the spyglass icon top right to get the Search box, type in GNOME Screenshot. This will bring up a list of relevant ...

One of my NHS hearing aids failed. We can't visit audiology at present but I phoned and explained. I was asked to send it in by post. Got a call to say that having checked it they would send me a new one by post. Another call shortly after to say that the new one is the latest model and therefore th...

The Australian coal mine owners, like oil companies, have known for 40 years or more that burning coal was endangering the climate so they've had plenty of time to adjust but instead tried to con us all into believing it wasn't dangerous. Coincidentally, this article appeared on the BBC web site a f...

Using laundry detergent will kill all dangerous bacteria and viruses even at lower temperatures. The detergents physically destroy them.

Just had the post delivered. It includes a flyer from Provident offering me a £1,000 loan at 535.3% APR. The sharks are circling already. And the sharks are not all bankers - I've received an email from VW with a `special offer' to replace my Golf's headlights with LED ones. The special offer price...

Stanley and Plaques have said it all for me - you've done a great job Ian and you've explained it all clearly in your excellent report above. We should kick out Dido Harding and put you in charge of Test & Trace!

It's not a problem for me at all Stanley, just something strange!

And by the way, Mrs Tiz has now donated!

Just done a bit of testing with Firefox browser zoom settings. Any level above 110% will expand the banner wider than the actual page width. This forces the search box to the right. I reckon that is your problem Peter. Just Try holding down CTRL and hit the minus key a couple of times and see what ...

Is it only Mrs Tiz and me who don't have a donate button just below the search box on the OGFB banner? I've been discussing it with Ian and we haven't solved it so far. I've cleared the cache and restarted the PC but still no button!

I've cleared the cache of `cookies and site data' and restarted Firefox and it made no difference. Cleared it all again and restarted the PC. Still no donate button, as shown in this final screenshot. Everything else works OK as far as I can tell so it's not really a problem. We can sort some other ...

Probably in a few weeks time someone in government will have a light bulb moment and realize that it may be prudent to vaccinate everyone against influenza and minimise the risk to both young and old alike. I expect they would like to do that but there is probably not enough flu vaccine available a...

Tell us when we can donate again. Anytime you like Peter the link on the homepage has moved slightly but you should see it in the banner below the search box. It's not in the OG banner on my PC in the usual Firefox (or anywhere else I've looked on OG pages). I asked Mrs Tiz to look for it but she c...
