Mice have to get their take-aways somewhere! I mean did it look a particularly well fed, healthy, and discerning mouse?

Those knives seem to have yellow rosettes attached just at the moment! All in the *spirit* of political ballance of course! Come the next election whatsisname might just turn out to be the only survivor of the trio.

Update: Apparenty the payload is a new variant of the Sober worm which trys: "to disable antivirus programs and send copies of itself to any e-mail addresses found on the hard drive." Comes in three flavours: CIA, FBI and Paris Hilton. (Hotel or Bimbo?) Take care!

Earlier discussion on mice set me thinking how very long I've had my trusty optical Logi Mouse. Although it's still working just fine I decided to have a look at state-of-the-art rodents. Perusing the Logitech website I learned that "optical is obsolete" and that with a MX1000 my "computing experience will never be the same". Now, being a s-o-t-a sort of person, this was just too difficult a proposition to resist. Santa has therefore been instructed to gimme! Here (for your envy) are the links: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products...,CONTENTID=9043 http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products...GB/EN,CRID=2090 Warning: Do not all rush at once to replace your pathetically outdated optical mice with this curvaceous beastie - yes, even the many Bedlingtonians long known to have "tricky polished or wood-grain surfaces". The resulting laser display over Bedders could seriously detract from all those magnificent Christmas lights on the Front Street! BTW it is widely rumoured that this device actually started life as a design for a contactless, ever-sharp, electric razor - until the unfortunate series of accidents! So, it is not recommended that even the electric-razorless persons here continue to experiment with one along those lines, however appealing the convenience of a dual-usage mouse/razor may be.

The only real question is: Do you want to pick up a virus by executing the .ZIP file? And the concise answer to that is <Delete>!

Hm... maybe those damn fireworks weren't quite so bad? http://members.cox.net/transam57/lights.wmv Neighbours from Hell?

You might want to post a (slightly more formal) version of this to the Public Notices section. There it won't get burried by other posts.

You may have seen the recent TV coverage about the Guide Post dental practice that's cutting its patient list from 6000 to 2500 and requiring local people to agree to pay £14 a month, plus a £10 joining fee. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/tyne/4436160.stm Do you feel that local dentists are abusing their position, or do you think that the Government is letting us down badly?

Comment: This isn't working, but only 1 million of the 342 million end up on the ground outside of my door.

http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/Bedlington_C13.htm I find the maps particularly interesting: http://communities.northumberland.gov.uk/007095FS.htm ..and scanned in sufficient detail to be really useful. Congratulations, and a great job lads and lasses!

I've posted some pix taken on Tuesday around 14:58 p.m. to the Gallery.

It's up to locals how things develop. We'll sort and categorise albums according to what's uploaded, but the individual albums are 100% under control of the owning member. Ditto with the forums really. And the Blogs are well.. just blogs!

I'm not arguing with the quality of the food, and have already said that it wasn't bacterial food poisoning. Far too quick for that - and believe me, I know what bacterial food poisoning is like! They certainly aren't Chinese, and I'm sure their food wasn't offended. The way I felt when I wrote that, it could have been expressed a in a lot more un-PC way! At the end of the day the problem was badly handled by them, and I don't have to appologise for being made ill!

An exellent chinese meal from Golden City on Front Street East last night. Beef Ku-Bo it was; top ingredients, well prepared, and very tasty. From previous experiences they do a good line in crispy noodles. Some years back this establishment went through a rather rough period when the food was often barely edible, and poorly prepared. Once or twice it was taken back - an extremely rare event here. But, I believe that the establishment has changed hands at least once since then. Keep up the high standard, and congratulations Mr.... no, Claire Short might have something to say!

Don't think so. Only they have the power to do that! It might have been a one-off night, or even a one-hour event, but I'd bet anyone else served the same time felt ill, though may not have realised why. Been going there for many decades, and will surely return at some point. But, just at present, I've gone completely off F&C. When the craving returns the next ones will doubtless be from Moby !*!@#'s on the Glebe Road!

Actually, it's the rollers that collect the gunge. The ball acts as a sort of offset-litho printer and transfers the grease and hair to the rollers. Scrape them off with a something not too sharp, use a cotton bud for the final clean, and, for good measure maybe give the ball a scrub in hot soapy water, and towel dry it before refitting. Then, good as new! I've used optical mice ever since Logitech introduced the first ones with special mouse pads, twenty odd years ago - about £50 a throw then - and wouldn't use anything else. They produced the first one without a special pad too. A principal since extensively copied - including by copycat Microslop! I'm still using the original ten year old one of those right now. Magic!

Probably no need to. An, at least partial, restore is probably possible. We're working on it!
