Particularly if there aren't any kids living there!

Or, "Have you been put away, Stuart!"

Methinks your case rests, MikeK.... :sneaky:

Talking of air hostesses, there's a TV ad for Virgin being shown at present, with "lookalikes" as passengers and staff. (No, I don't see the point either, but....) You have Prince mincing up the aisle as a steward, Billy Jean King and the bald drag queen bloke as seated passengers, but my Mrs...

A pint of whatever Tony's on, please... 🎸

Many thanks, Dibs-h, for your time and expertise. Smashing advice, and crystal clear. Cheers.

Perfectly, thank you. I know I jumped from 8.1 to 10. I wonder if I also moved some other stuff from an even earlier laptop...maybe. The D: "version" has some (to me) strange files in there : quite a number of dynamic link jobs (e.g. install.res.1028.dll), a few *.ini files, even a setup exe...

Thanks, gents... I've found out what's hogging D: drive. Me. I've a lot of music theory data files, far too many youtube keyboard/guitar tuition videos, all in one main folder containing dozens of others broken down to different categories. In fact, the My Doc's folder is a mere (relatively)...

Afternoon... The curious thing is that I don't remember even using the W'share job, other than perhaps giving it a trial when first downloaded! It was certainly uninstalled many, many years ago. Many of the folders/files within were gobbledegook, so I took the plunge and wiped 'em all. In a...

True story. I was once involved with the roll-out of an updated business accounts system for one of our main High Street banks, which involved checking that the customer had (1) received either the 46 floppies (!) or the new-fangled CD, and (2) if they required assistance with the installation...

Good man! I'll give it a whirl right now and report back. EDIT : well, it released just short of 500MB, but the Documents folder still remains gigantic at 130GB. In answer to a reply below this - Thanks, by the way, seanf! - I do have TreeSize Free installed, and it's showing that Wondershare...

My laptop. C: drive with Win10 operating system and the programs I've loaded over the years. External D: drive, to which I save whatever takes my fancy, to various named folders and sub-folders. My choice. So far, so good. Came to save something to D: yesterday, only to find that it's full...

Many years ago - when I had a life - I used to organise the travel arrangements for various artists, including Deep Purple. After one of their Japan trips, Ian Gillan brought my wife and I some gifts as "thank yous", and mine was a really neat Casio calculator. This was very early days, when...

Ooof... Sines, and cosines...my copy at school ended up very dog-eared! God knows how or why. Didn't understand them then, and definitely wouldn't now!

(An old 'un, but a goodie...) More strikes. More picket lines. Activists with loud hailers, revving up the crowd... "Whadda we want?!" "Hearing aids!" "When do we want them?!" "Hearing aids!"

Our local naturist club is having a meeting at the Community Centre next Monday. I might nip along if I've got nothing on.

Yes, XTiffy...me too. The plumber admitted it could've been literally a dry solder joint - that's how bloody ludicrous it is. When I checked it turned out to be just over 6 years old - a bit older than I remembered - but what I also found amazing was the 12 month only warranty when originally...

Turned out to be a PCB problem....or more accurately, 2 PCBs. Our plumber had to seek advice from a colleague who works on Vaillants "all the time", and in their opinion there was little point in replacing the main unit and not replacing the smaller LED display one. So £300 lighter, but at least...

Funny how little things remind you of other stuff....these sports jokes sprang to mind after my better half offered me a Polo. Apologies if they've been featured before : perhaps even by me! Football commentator interviewing David Beckham... "Good first half, David. The second coming up in a...
