Don't worry, Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On does end eventually. Be brave. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted October 17, 2017 #986 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I'm thinking of starting a new series of inspirational quotes. To start with, here's U.S. Secretary of "Defense" James "Mad Dog" Mattis, "the most revered Marine of his generation". Take it away Jim: You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn’t wear a veil. You know, guys like that ain’t got no manhood left anyway. So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually it’s quite fun to fight them, you know. It’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right up there with you. I like brawling. The first time you blow someone away is not an insignificant event. That said, there are some *******s in the world that just need to be shot. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." Doesn't that give you immense reassurance that the world's most military nation is in safe hands? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, nor has it, since Maj Gen Mattis said those words in 2003, 2005, 2006...only now he's in charge of the entire Dept of Insanity Repeated Thrice.. makes it even less so it's not a new phenomena, just getting ugly... uglier if you consider that the left is now pushing for war with Russia!

Space Commander Travis Posted October 18, 2017 #992 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I think I'm going to have to go down to the Cimputer shop. my Keyboard seems to have developed a habit of suddenly freezing up when you're in the middle of typing something , and you don't notice until you've got to the end of the sentence you're typing and realize tha That half the sentence you've been typing hasn't come out, It'll rectify itself if you pause for a moment but it can be very annoying, as I expect yo You can appreciate. I think it must be the Keyboard since the computer doesn't seem to freeze as other things will still be working. I don't know if anyone can offer any help or advic?

A lot of freezing problems are related to wireless issues. If the PC seems to be working otherwise okay, the first thing I'd recommend is plugging the keyboard into another USB port if you can. It should be a USB connection if the PC is under ten years old. Beyond that you might have to look at port settings, etc. or simply try another keyboard. I have to say I've had many keyboards over the years, ranging from cheap to high-end gaming keyboards, and I've always found a cheap Microsoft keyboard to be the best if you don't need fancy features - hey Microsoft need to be good at something right! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted October 18, 2017 #996 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Well thank you for your advice. I'll try poking it in somewhere else and see what happens then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Commander Travis Posted October 18, 2017 #997 Share Posted October 18, 2017 In other thoughts, the people across the road are poking about under the bonnet* of their car again. They did that all the time with their old ford focus, but they haven't needed to do it so much with their shiny new (03 reg) Mondeo. But it sounds like that's getting knackered now as well. * or "hood" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep expecting it all to go quiet after Christmas, but they usually seem to survive. Maybe they keep them for the Eggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
