  1. I don't know what has happened to the forum search facility, it could be due to ongoing webserver problems at Archant.

    The issue with an old post of yours showing up in the "My Forums" view is down to the deletion of several posts of a tiresome little troll.  Yours was the last post, but because the troll posted to the thread last night, the thread became "active" again.

  2. c-dennis, I don't think it is possible to search pages blanches using only a first name and location, you can use a surname (last name) only, or a surname along with a first name, or a surname with a first name and a location.

    You're not putting her first name in the "Nom" field are you? 

    In French a nom is a surname, a prénom is a first name, and (confusingly) a surnom is a nickname [geek]

  3. Silly old you Chancer, it can't be the same person.

    The first Chiefluvvie doesn't list his interest in his profile as "getting at stupid people"

    This one, Chiefluwie does, and he only joined today.

    Still he also lists his profession as unemployed santa, so I guess he must be bored out of his skull.

    Nope, can't possibly be the same person, coz dual IDs are interdit, and we'd have to chop off his head [:D]

  4. Or easy apple juice perhaps?  No skinning or coreing needed.

    Wash your apples, cut away the bad parts, and then cut the rest into quarters.

     

    Put a couple of inches of water into a large pan and add the quartered apples.

     

    Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until they are soft (about 20 minutes).

     

    Smash with a potato-masher, and then put the resulting pulp into a large colander lined with a piece of muslin/cheesecloth or a clean hanky.

     

    Let it drain into a large bowl for about an hour, and then squeeze the pulp to get the rest of the juice out (it'll go cloudy, but that's the best stuff in the apples, so the cloudier the better).

     

    You can then drink it or freeze it until needed.
  5. You could try saying "I want to speak to an operator".

    It works for paypal UK.  I recently had to phone them with a query that wasn't included in any of their pre-recorded messages (although I strongly suspect that their call centre isn't in the UK, or even Europe, given the accent of the person I ended up speaking to).  But she was at least a human being, rather than a recorded message!

    It may just work with other services too.
