    Broadband suppliers

    I've been a Orange/Wanadoo/Freeserve or whatever they're called now customer for years, and have finally decided to give them up as a bad job. I recently had an email from Orange letting me know they were "doing some work on my line". Ever since this I have had lots of problems connecting to...

    Bearded Tits

    Anyone please advise where I can photograph Bearded Tits in the Yorkshire area? I had been hoping to get them at Blacktoft but the general opinion seems to be most birds are to far away to photograph. Any help or advice would be most welcome.

    Is it OK to ask about mobile phones on here?

    I've just bought the Orange San Francisco/ZTE Blade android mobile and it's the first phone I've spent more than £7 on. I'm now ashamed to admit I've no idea how to connect it to the internet or to my PC. I'd like to be able to get rid of some of the apps on the SF/Blade that I'll never use...

    The older I get, the more forgetful I become. Can anyone recommend a downloadable programme that sends me pop up reminders telling me I have to do something? I used to have one that looked like a yellow "Post-It" note but as I mentioned above, I can't remember what it was called.
