If you mean this one the woman drove 100 miles to meet her sister and they had a MacDonalds.

In the image of the MAC filter settings you have it set as “Allow” with only one MAC address in the list. My understanding is that the filter should either be set to “Block” with no items in the list or “Allow” with the MAC address of all the devices listed.
Allow – Allow only items in the list and block all others
Block – Block items in the list an Allow all others
If you can turn MAC filtering off I would try that.

After watching Muppet Christmas Carol we always dig out Muppet Treasure Island

It’s because click lock is on. When you selected the word helicopter you probably double clicked it. On the track pad this is set to ClickLock. The cursor is locker to the pointer. When you delete the word with your backspace the click locked cursor remains to the left of the typed text. When you type the cursor moves back to the locked position so the letters appear backwards.

Norwegian forest cat they have lovely fir. 🙂

I had a Vauxhall zafira and replaced the parts that were causing them to burst into flames. I did get my money back after some long emails.

This is due to adware redirect installed on your PC rather than an issue with STW.

It’s a bottomless pit the more you put in the more it will cost. The service will always be on the brink as costs will increase to match the revenue.

Busses that have “Up to every 10 minutes” written on them.

A penguin drives down to the seaside but his car breaks down just as he arrives. He takes the car to a local garage and the mechanic agrees to check it over but can’t do it for a couple of hours.

While waiting the penguin, not wishing to ruin his day out, decides to go down to the beach and have an ice cream.

A couple of hours later he returns to the garage and asks the mechanic what’s wrong with teh car. The mechanic tuts and says “Looks like you’ve blown a seal”.

To which the penguin says “It’s just a bit of ice cream!”

I guess you have checked spam,junk etc. but I have experienced emails sent to an Apple ID account being dropped without trace. Can you get them to send to a different mail account?

The bottom picture could be Pipe Organ Tuning Cones. Are the flat ends hollow or solid?

The top picture is probably quarry tools as others have suggested. Maybe for clearing the dust out of holes for splitting the rocks.

Another woodburner question…

i.e. If everyone maintained a proper 2 second gap (i.e. ~62.5 meters at 70mph) then it would be a lot easier for oncoming traffic to slot in without the need for anyone to move over. But they don’t

But everyone would either need to slow down to accommodate the extra car or pull out to maintain their 2 second gap. If they pull out then those in the next lane will have to pull out or slow down.

Batteries flat? As Mattyfez has just said.

You get them in nuclear reactors, they’re called Fission Chips 😉

I hate buses that state:
“up to every 10 minutes”

Denim should be 100% cotton they wash a wear better. Stretch jeans look a bit like jeggings because that’s basically what they are.

It seems odd to stop selling such popular cheeses

Illchester, It’s staggeringly popular.

Apparently there’s no way to set defaults but from some random site I found:
“The PT default mode is to use SUM if all the data in the range for that
field are Numeric and to use COUNT if there are any text data or blank
cells.”
So if there are blank cells you could put zero’s into them to change the way excel handles the data.

As others have said backup everything.
Are you sure the noise is coming from the Hard Disk and not a cooling fan?
Here’s a link to a hard disk noise site.

In theory you shouldn’t put a socket on one end and a plug on the other.
Each cable runs from a socket to the panel in the cupboard. Then a short patch cable goes from the panel to the switch.
If the phone line is in the same cupboard then the router can go there as well otherwise it needs to be near a network socket so it can be patched into the switch along with other devices.

You will need to keep the network switch accessible in case it goes wrong needs replacing/rebooting.
I have used these:
12 Port wall mount patch panel
Run all the cables to a single point and put this on the end then put the switch on the wall and use short patch cables to connect.
If the router is in another room you can patch it in from here as long as it’s near a wall socket.

If the router is in the loft it may be better to plug the extender into a socket on the first floor so that it is nearer half way between the devices and the router.
It probably won’t help much though as a wifi range extender has to receive and retransmit each packet and this can half the connection speed even when it is near both ends.

Tune a MW radio to 600khz and see if get a loud buzzing/crackling or clicking noise. It may be that Electromagnetic Interference is causing your problem.

get the “WiFi analyser” app for the android tablet. It’s great for seeing which routers have the best signal and their channels.
