Ah. When you attached to Hotmail with a separate app (like Windows Live Mail) you generally use one of two protocols: IMAP or POP3. Sounds like WLM must have used POP3, as that protocol moves emails onto the local machine, whereas IMAP doesn't. So, it sounds like all you emails will be in a local file somewhere on your machine. You'll need to open that file somehow and get the emails back onto hotmail/outlook via your new program, if indeed it allows you to do that. Suggest you use IMAP-supporting software in future, to keep your emails on the hotmail/outlook cloud.

The US constitution is going to be very important over the next few months to keep Trump in line, but AFAIK the constitution offers no protection to non-US people, unless they are on US soil. So the judge can step in to deal with people being held at US airports, but cannot make any judgement on the wider policy.

Foxy, Windows Live Mail is just a frontend for the old Hotmail (now outlook.com). There's a number of alternatives: Mailbird is one, Thunderbird (from the people who bought you the Firefox browser) is another. Personally I use the website/webapp interface, but use the X-notifier plugin to tell me when I have new email, and gives an easy shortcut to the webapp. It's available for Forefox and Chrome (well, and Safari and Opera).

When you frame it like that, you are right. But if you look deeper, when you look at the current woes of the Labour party and (to a lesser and slightly different extent) the Democrat, you have to ask, why have a certain set of what were previously supporters moved away and voted for a different set of people? Why did parts of the UK that benefited quite a lot from the EU vote against it? Why does Labour's northern heartland suddenly look like slipping away from them? Why have parts of America that benefited from Obamacare and other Democrat-style policies vote for the sort of millionaire businessman that should, on paper, be anathema to them? And let's not muck around, we're talking (predominantly white) working class. It's no great earth shattering revelation to say that over the past half-century, 'The Left' have moved from a grass-roots labour movement in the UK, and little-guy vs big-guy populism (in the original sense) in the US, through to a thoroughly urban identity-politics movement. So, feeling unloved, the working-class lot have looked around. You could even say they're a bit on the rebound. They are certainly sick of being taken for granted. So, yes, they were indeed able to think for themselves and did vote how they saw fit. But until Labour and the Democrats realise how they got into that position in the first place, they're never going to woo the working class back. But maybe, just maybe, they don't actually want them back. But that would be electoral suicide, wouldn't it?

Trump is a businessman. May was clever enough to treat him as one, rather than as a politician. Went in with a defined agenda, put potential deal on the table, extracted a few concessions, massaged his ego and finished up with the offer of a business jolly to meet the CEO.

As a true liberal I always get annoyed when people misuse the term to mean 'illiberal lefty'. I blame the Americans. Anyway, 'twunt' isn't a new creation. It's been around for at least a couple of decades.

I must admit that when I first saw the posters I thought, "It's going be disappointing, isn't it?" And the reviews have been lukewarm, though saying the first half is better than the second.

The problem seems to be that both sides in the Trump debate seem to be working on the ideas that "it's OK for my side to physically attack / be a complete a-hole to the other lot, but it's completely wrong when they do it to us". If you physically attack someone for their political beliefs, you are a twunt. End of.

I suspect the 'numerous times in different sections' was the issue. If you had have posted it just the once in the Businesses section then you might have been OK. Spamming the whole board seems to have been your mistake.

It's just like getting on the bus now. Me too, at least for long haul. Forget about hoping your knees don't touch the seat in front, most of the time your feet, fully stretched don't. Chuck in airport lounges and premium boarding (and even a limo to and from the airport in some cases) and it's worth every penny. And, if you consider that the price of long haul fares haven't changed much at all in the last 20-25 years, business class prices are not bad value. And considering business class on long haul can take up half the plane nowadays, it's much more common. First class is pretty much dying out as well, which is interesting.

Last night's Standard were doing some story on some young people initiative and had a little side box where they talked to the bloke who runs 'Secret Cinema'... "I wanted to thank the women for their march on Saturday for waking us up. I honestly think women and young people are the answer, us men are just useless." Quite obviously a virtue signalling wazzock. Made me wonder why he doesn't stand aside to let the business be run by someone who doesn't self-identify as "useless". Maybe shareholders (if there are any) should intervene to get rid of Useless??

I did mean the staff on the old contracts as the new contracts were BA's response to try to cut costs to get ticket prices down. The main problem for BA is that businesses smartened up on air travel. People flew BA, regardless of cost, because they weren't paying! Most airlines (and BA especially so) "get by" on economy class and make all their profit on business and first class tickets. BA were the business-persons airline of choice, mainly because of the great rewards you got on Executive Club, plus businesses liked them because of kickbacks they got. In the last decade or so, businesses have really cut down on travel costs, embracing the Easyjets and Ryanairs and often cutting back on flying altogether.

... plus Easyjet's new self check-in at Gatwick is really rather cool.

I agree, but since government agencies seem to still break down such stats by individual countries, I can see both arguments. ETA: Besides, if you really consider the EU as a single market, we don't "export" anything to it! (Currently, anyway.)

Well, I'd like to say I've watched the video to judge for myself, but it seems to be nowhere on the internet. (Well, not that googling 'Trump pokes tongue at FBI' hits. I'm a little afraid to play with that search term too much...) Anyone have a link?

I'm not saying it's not worth noting. I'm saying it's a pretty weak thing to put on a list of "Terrible Things Donald Trump Has Done".

Hmmm. Dontcha just wish them Lib Dem 'traitors' were still holding the balance of power? We wouldn't be in this Brexit mess, for a start.

rahrahrah Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Loz- out of interest , what's your view on the loud Trump? A serious danger to world peace, at the very least. But I do think people are getting their knickers in a major twist over stuff that either a) any Republican president would have done or b) stuff they think he might do but hasn't done yet. Plus there are people that will criticise him whatever he does (like poking his tongue at the head of the FBI). He's an unpleasant individual, no doubt. But, like it or not, being a nice person is not a prerequisite to running a country. So, as I would with anyone democratically elected, I'll give him a little time to see what the whole picture will be. To be honest, though, I'm really not optimistic.

re: Biggest export market. It depend on whether how you class the EU. If you see the EU as separate countries, the US is the UKs biggest export market. If you see the EU as one market, it's the EU. Source: many, but mainly HMRC, Nov 16 figures.

British Airways pays its pilots and flight crew over twice as much as Easyjet and Ryanair. Discuss.

'Great' I can see, but you dropped 'United'?? "Where are you from?" "Kingdom". Besides, United Kingdom is no less silly (or misguided) as the United Stated of America.

Woooh, what a meanie.

I thought he was bloody awful when he started, but for a while there he was actually getting to grips with PMQs. But, he's fallen away again recently, back to 'bloody awful'. I think part of the problem at the moment is that he's been protesting against anything and everything for so long and then what is the main subject when he gets to be leader of the opposition? Brexit, which he supports. But I do see the 'what is the alternative' argument. Personally I think they could do a lot worse than Sadiq Khan, if they could tempt him away from London. Hardly put a foot wrong so far. Apart from that, the ranks are pretty bare.

Keano... I suggest you read more of malumbu's posts. They are usually deluged in satire. (Occasionally they're not, though, so read them carefully).

Sounds like your windows install is not in good condition at all, Foxy. I think a reinstall is your only hope.
