    Well, I'm still getting error 1114, and have not been able to visit the site all day... Will wait and see... BTW, can't get on site, ergo can't see Richards solution!

    Jon... AWF not working!

    I read Colin's comment about the access world forums not working for him, it had been working nicely for me, until I read his post and and then I got the same looking MySQL message that Colin showed. The error message was "MySQL Error 1114" searching on the internet it says that the temporary...

    Bit of a slump

    I love this site, and I wish I could be more active. The first problem is I'm very busy at the moment, and the second problem is the things I want to talk about are so Woolly and unformed in my disorganised brain. Also, on the other end of the scale I'm embarrassed to say what I'm thinking...

    Do you pursue subjects you were not “very good” at?

    My father was a very astute businessman, made himself a load of money! I have spent a miserable life trying to be good at business. It's only recently (last 10 years or so) that I've realised I just haven't got the nouse for it.. I know I should have been a teacher!

    The last mosquito...

    The nights are drawing out and the house is getting colder. I'm wearing my jumper in the office to try and delay the onset of late boiler syndrome. If I can eek out another week or two before having the boiler on then I can save a shilling. That's a long way round of saying my office is a bit...

    The Dentist

    Was that a deliberate play on words? - If so, I think Jon missed it, or ignored it!

    Bathroom laws, trans and little boys

    I was brought up to use the concept of chaperoning. This means I will not allow myself to be in a position where someone could say that something happened. In practice, this meant if any of my children had a friend over, and I had to take the friend home, then my child would come with me. I I...

    Dr. Jordan B Peterson - Professor and clinical psychologist

    There's a reddit group in opposition to JDP, from what I've seen it's very respectful, so well worth reading:-

    Suspending Parliament - What's Up with That?

    I thought this podcast on the suspension of parliament was very good:- https://podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3Mud2hvb3Noa2FhLmNvbS9yc3MvcG9kY2FzdC9pZC81MDIz&episode=ZDAzMmJiNTEtNTMwNC00N2IwLTlhNGItOTYxNjg2NTRjNGEy

    Time travel. Whose reality?

    Yes I have read it Richard, it's one of my favourite stories. Basically Asimov relates exactly what's happened to computers. The fantastic increase in computing power. The only difference really, between how Asimov saw computers, and how they actually are, is that Issac could not foresee the...

    Time travel. Whose reality?

    I am writing a story which is based on time travel. The premise is that when the first industrial sized space elevator is created. I'm thinking of a tube several miles in diameter, with tube riders, container-ship sized spaceships tethered to the tube by some sort of magnetic levitation. The...

    I think it's a good thing you didn't managed to talk to him Richard, I think you would have been wasting your time!

    Sceptiko

    Exactly! I haven't wasted any time on it either! My son asked me the other day if the moon landing actually happened, he's being drawn into various conspiracy theories. That's what has raised (again) my interest in this sort of thing. Mind you I do recall being drawn into conspiracy theories...

    Wow this guy is amazing he saw a UFO and wrote a book about it, had a near death experience and wrote a book about that, and now he's had a "Peak Experience" (I've no idea what that is) and wrote a book about that! Now I hope you can see I'm sceptical...

    Hello, World!

    With regard to your tagline, about Bruce Lee. I was reminded of a podcast I listen to the other day, I sent a copy to my son who is interested in martial arts and I sent it through WhatsApp using this link:-...

    Cookie popups, privacy warnings, GDPR...all driving me nuts!

    And you've got my Gander up now! I'm just recollecting watching YouTube videos, they pop in these bloody adverts, and they repeat the same damn WIX advert time and time again. I do my own WordPress sites on a small hosting service which have been very good up until now! That's the story! Why...
