I have had an itchy reaction to the washing powder. Our doctor has prescribed some ointment for me which is good but only for a while. I have noticed that when I take my shirt off the irritation stops so I assume it is the soap powder. I am on my third brand and I'm still having an allergic reaction.

I was hoping there is someone who can recommend a soap powder that is made for people such as myself, that does not cause an allergic reaction.

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know who this "Steven Dennis" is that I keep getting forwarded email messages from? I put them straight into my junk folder because it is no-one I know. Cheers.

I recently bought a used HP Elitebook 840 G8 Business Ultrabook 14" FHD. It has been working perfectly but kept getting this nagging message each time at start up to change my password Windows 11 pro which I set up originally for a local account.
Unfortunately I can't remember the password so I ignored it and eventually it locked me out, and when trying to change the password it needs my original password which I don't have.
Is it anything to do with HP Wolf security which is on the splash screen at the start.  Is there a setting in the bios that I could change.

These two eagles are brooding two eggs through to the end of Winter.  The female Jackie has been on the nest all night in quite bad conditions, it's mid-day there now:

Big Bear Bald Eagle Live Nest - Cam 1

The nest is located in Big Bear Valley in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. It is about 145 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine tree. The nest is the current home for Jackie and Shadow, a local bald eagle pair

I saw an interesting programme recently on stealth aircraft and they said that they are "invisible to radar," which is not quite true, but to all intents and purpose they are invisible to radar.

As you will know, a beam is sent out, it reflects off the aircraft and returns to the operator. A simple enough premise. But that does not work with the stealth aircraft. With these planes, instead of the signal returning to it's origin it is reflected off the aircraft at about a 45 degree angle and so does not return to the operator. Very clever, I thought. There are some very smart people out there.

But also of interest and in a similar vein; in WW1 radar had not been invented and so they had aircraft spotters on the coast and when enemy aircraft approached they would call the airfields and scramble the fighters, but invariably the warning came too late. But another smart fellow came up with another clever idea and they built oversized parabolic reflectors looking out over the English Channel and they could hear the approaching aircraft long before they saw them and were able to scramble the fighters in plenty of time to intercept the enemy. Very clever.

I am very interested in sound recording of all types and I have a small handheld parabolic reflector with a microphone set at the focal point about 30cm in front of the dish and I can hear normal conversations from a distance comparable to across the road. It is excellent for capturing bird songs from a distance and I don't frighten the birds away. I have some lovely recordings of Tuis (my favourite) singing away. Beautiful.

Just discovered we have an infestation of these things.
Never really seen them to this extent in the past and never realized how many we had until it was too late!
I opened a bag of rolled oats i bought about s month ago and it was full of the things flying out. I think this is how we bought them here.
It pays to keep a trap to monitor for them.
My mate tells me he has had them too. Seems it's a bit of a problem at the moment. I know it's a massive headache in the grain industry and they are somewhat resistant to fly spray. 
Had to throw out the majority of my breakfast cereal and even stuff I thought was well sealed in plastic containers and somehow they have found a way inside.

Vodafone has dumped us over to Sky and I am not quite sure where to seek some help because it is certainly not from Sky.

Using the old Vodafone box, when we switched off the TV, the box would remain on, but with the Sky box when we switch off the TV the box also switches off.

Is there any way I can change it.?

Which TV Ads grind your gears?
Ones I dislike the most are the Mother Nature ones specificaly when the guy runs out of power in his EV and the power outlet doesnt reach his car to top it up , and then along comes Mother Nature to sort it all out!

The Electric Kiwi ad where the word broadband is used several times in a monotone sound that is supposed to be singing and they are playing cricket in the back yard.

I do have several others I could rave on about but what are yours?
