    Thanks for that review, TSS. I missed it at the cinema and it was one of these "I'll go see it if there's nothing else on," type films for me but think I'll add it to my (very long) 'to watch' list, which still isn't as long as my 'to read' list...

    An update, on this service. Having posted my passport off last Saturday, I received an email Tuesday confirming the safe arrival of the passport, and that it was in a queue to be checked.
    Today, I received another email confirming that my new photo and information given had passed said check, and my application has been approved.
    I will receive another email when my passport has been posted.
    Excellent service, so far.

    I was having trouble with my laptop. The keyboard was intermittent and the mouse pad stopped working. Anyway after lots of swearing and bashing of the keyboard, I gave it to my brother to see if it could be mended. He took it apart and said does the dog use the laptop? Puzzled I said not that I know of but who knows what he gets up to when I'm not here, why? He said the keyboard when he took it apart was full of dog hair and as soon as he hoovered it out it started working again. :oops:

    A Rambler friend of mine gave me a rather cute little HP Tower PC, keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc.., about a year back, because she was fed up with it overheating. I asked where she used it. When I suggested I just do an investigation and fix, then give it back, she declined the offer. She was that fed up with it. I took the side off to reveal a ton of carpet fibre and dust in the poor thing. Not only blocking up the airways but into the components as well. A thorough vacuum and it was the easiest fix I've ever done. The PC is now working fine with a person who has never had enough spare cash to buy a computer, and was therefore computer user illiterate. So a good thing came out of it. Even the Rambler friend was pleased.

    my 2005 PC with XP Windows is still going. I fire Old Bessy up when I need to print something but it does need hoovering out every couple of months or it sounds like a helicopter landing. P.S. it's just as fast as my 2017 laptop with Windows 10 and I can't get used to the complete silence when it's on.

    His passport photo looks as much like Tom Robinson as C.Ronaldo's bust looks like C.Ronaldo. So I'd say no.
