  1. Thanks r-c for the suggestion. I ended up doing various things ending in re-installing AOL Desktop. Seems to have worked.

  4. Even the League of Ireland champions drew with them in Poland.
  5. As asked previously Alice by first mate, what would you do?
  6. Hugo and Sol?
  7. What's the point I ask myself? When is he going to play?
  8. It would still bug me though.
  9. People who stand on the left hand side of an escalator. Isn?t there an unwritten law against this?
  10. I thought there was a computer geeks thread but maybe it been consigned to the dustbin. Anyway, if anyone can advise what's wrong, thank you. I use AOL Desktop 9.7 to access my email and various favourite haunts such as here. However, for whatever reason if I want to play a video on the BBC News/Sport website for example I get the above message. This has gone on for some time but now it's bugging me. If I access the same website using google chrome I have no such problem. I've been messing around now for a while and haven't found a solution, though I imagine it's probably simple. I just don't know enough. Can anyone tell me the solution?

Greenr perhaps? The problem with this post is you imagine aliens think like you. They probably have a way of thinking completely alien to you. If you were to walk across a trail of ants and stopped to pick your nose, do you think the ants would wonder why you bothered them? They might but you might be blissfully unaware of them or not as the case may be. Either way it wouldn't matter.

I was there maybe an hour earlier and if that's all it was, it was certainly overkill. There must have been 15 police inside and outside the station. When I arrived they were escorting a kid to the van.
  13. Wonder what made Sam think he could?
  14. Sorry for the delay in thanking you for all your suggestions. I've been busy trying to source a replacement for the glass topped garden table we broke.........
  15. Dining room chair with pale fabric covered seat has a nice yellow stain on it, now dried. Help..........It's in a house we were visiting and the owners (nephew and wife) are away in Brazil.
  16. According to Arry there's nothing wrong with Remy's fitness. It's more to do the the other guy not wanting to leave. I'd have thought Remy was a steal at ?7.5M.
  17. Be careful how you answer that one!
  18. Just wait till you start snoring ed.
  19. Have a visitor coming and it seems pretty pointless getting another card for one or two journeys we might make.
  20. I'm not arguing that the past didn't exist. It's just our word the the present that no longer exists.
  21. Well my colleague is Indian. I'm not at work but I could email her if you want to tell me what you want translated.
  22. No. I don't mean the past exists in the present. Only that the present is all that exists now. What happened in the 'past' may indeed affect the present because most of us find it difficult not to try and live there or in the future. Thereby missing the only moment they have that's actually real, the present. We are in the top half of the hourglass. What's in the bottom half is what was and is no more.
  23. Can our keyboards type Hindi script?
  24. Existed yes. Exists, no. That's paraphrasing me?? You're probably right as a lot of the 'present' is an illusion.
