Kind of general South America....not just Columbia, so a bit not on the money.

These are Aussie that can't pronounce Junta don't forget. The vagaries of Southern American cuisine are likely to be off the radar.

Yay! :T
Hope you carry on feeling good.

I have Monday's blood results back. I am not anaemic.



Mine is Dell and I'm very happy with it too.

Do any of the NP have recommendations for cordless landline phones for use in a house with thick walls?

We didn't like Dell's because the power cables don't last and the battery needs replacing every year or so. Also they have annoying software built in that we can't get rid of.

For cordless phones it has to be Panasonic. We have solid internal walls and get reception 100 foot down the garden, with the base set located at the front of the house. We run 3 extensions off the base with no problem. Call quality is good and the intercom works properly. I chose them because they also sell a booster unit if you need to boost the reception, that I didn't need to buy.

So, two lots of banking win. Two big chunks being transferred to solicitor..... just the last bit + bill + stamp duty to transfer tomorrow.

I do hate money/banking, it's all such a faff with its many rules, codes, numbers, signatures, cards, books, limits ..... even if I'd had my NW card and the book, I'd have still been turned away if I didn't have my passport. I've only got a passport to use for ID.... good job I took it with me or that'd have been another banking fail

Doing well. When you have all the money with the solicitor I'll tell you my story.

Another vote for Panasonic here. Similar range to silvercar.

When I bought Dells for my office, I just reformatted the hard disks and reinstalled Windows, without the carp-ware.

Take a look over here for an easier solution, but do a backup before trying it:

Have invitation to supper on Saturday, need to return call tomorrow. Feeling good today so tempted to accept. Don't know what tomorrow brings so concerned to.

Dither, dither, dither.

Know the host well enough to disappear and kip, don't know other guests at all, so will forever be 'that weird woman who just...went to bed'

Or you might just feel fine.... and be fed without too much effort beyond deciding what to wear

If you don't know them, it doesn't matter what they think

Go, get fed, then tell us what you had

I do just love the way people on here pull together at the drop of a hat. Sometimes 'NP' is such an understatement.

When I replaced my laptop, I spent a while in PC World just trying out some of them, to see which keyboard layouts I liked best and which seemed least flimsy. Dell have always seemed pricey for similar spec.

Gen, If I had a brother I'd want him to be just like you.

Thank you.

Back when I was a lurker (probably even before the inaugural NPT) it always felt like you (lir), Gen and NDG were siblings Just something about the way you interact and communicate in general.
