    Time to Go Electric with Tesla?

    I love Tesla cars, I love the idea that it may well be possible to rent the car out like an uber, and make enough money to pay for it (maybe)... I also need a new roof, and I wondered about having a Tesla roof... Just wondered if anyone else has been thinking similar or got any advice.

    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...

    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...

    Debate - There's no such thing as Racism

    I would like to propose the notion that there's no such thing as racism, it is in fact a natural Instinct designed to protect us, and what we perceive as racism is in fact bullying. The reason for this post is that was watching the latest episode of Star Trek, and I noticed a strange looking...

    Just cut my nose off!

    I have about 200 YouTube videos demonstrating various problems and solutions in MS Access. Now, I get my fair share of thumbs downs, which I accept because I see other excellent YouTube providers get them on what I consider perfect well presented videos. There's no accounting for some of the...

    Peterson vs Tolle

    I so nearly posted a major blog here yesterday, "a wall of text" as I understand some people call them! Why? Well, I had just had an hour long chat with my brother, and he mentioned he had recently read "The Shortest History of Germany" - and of course Auschwitz came up in the conversation. I...

    The trouble with Social Media...

    Imagine this scenario. You are down the pub, you venture into one of the taboo subjects with some other regulars at the bar. Now, they're not your friends, they are just people that turn up in the pub on a regular basis, you know their first names. You might know roughly where they live, you...

    What sort of Internet do you want?

    What sort of freedom do you want on the internet? Should credit card companies be allowed to stop you playing violent online games, watching porn or anything else they see as bad? Should they be allowed to decide what you are allowed to do? Jordan B Peterson and Dave Rubin discuss their joint...

    "Jolly Blokes"

    There's a television soap that I have nicknamed "Jolly Blokes"... One of my wife's favourite soaps, and that's how I am aware of it. I often find myself becoming interested just because I'm sat in the same room. It's a bit like I'm witnessing a conversation between two friends and I...

    The power of introverts | Susan Cain Considering myself a bit introverted, I'm not quite sure that's true, it's more like I hate extroverts! I really loved this video. Next time I watch it I will drop in time indexes and descriptions to the bits I think are the most interesting/relevant...

    "Tinycards" from Duolingo

    I was wondering whether to mention this within this forum. I say that because some of the software I have seen mentioned here seems very sophisticated and the software I would like to mention is very basic, but also very good, if you know what I mean. I've been learning Spanish with Duolingo...
