I'm out.I definitely believe that they will be back in the Final next season. As an aside, can you see Mourinho singing with his team’s supporters like that? he hardly waves to them as it is and they are getting p***ed off with the krap they are watching atm. That expensive Everton import is now being seen for what he is: just a battering ram to clear the defenders for the better front players. Want to see VVD deal with that next season. Apparently both Lukaku and the other mega-buy Pogba, want out before next season.
Incidentally, I have a mongrel nephew who supposedly supports Man U (from the usual 100+ miles distance) and went on FB to laugh, complete with offensive language, about Liverpool being knocked out by Real.
I answered with ‘Oh yeah, remind me who got to the REAL Champions Cup Final, and who won the Mickey Mouse Euro Third-rate cup? Who was beaten by Chelsea in the FA Cup Final? Who is the second-best team in Manchester now?’
I received a derogatory reply about Forest of course, to which I replied ‘I was waiting for that, why can’t you leave out some of the deliberate spelling and bad grammar, I know you can do it right, from the last letter you wrote years ago?’
But the real replies came from all my other Forest – supporting family, who blitzed him and his mates. Best one came from my eldest niece: “At least we support a local team that we go to see at every game, not some posh overpaid bunch of Prima Donnas 100 miles away. How long does it take to save up to see 2 or 3 games a season, if you can buy a ticket?!” Cracked me up, good lass. Nephew nobhead has not answered yet, realises he made a big mistake with the Forest remarks and is not welcome at other family houses now. Another niece came up with “Where were Man U when Forest were neck and neck with Liverpool in the League and European Cup years?”

I'm out.Same thing happened with Firefox, basically. An update had to be supplied, to “cure” an update. It’s way past time that all browsers and AV programmers, communicated better with each other, especially concerning such a basic thing as Security Certificates. That is what can really mess up your day, not being able to use a browser. Or any browser, come to that.

I'm out.I just re read your initial post Marc. Can you reproduce the Security Error code, and the Security Certificate? Was that last a request to install a Certificate, or a message that the certificate was not allowed by the browser?
I ask that because Firefox threw out my Kaspersky Certificate after an FF upgrade, a couple of weeks ago. I could not get anything to work in Windows7/64, except in IE11, which I hate. Then I found a way around it in Kaspersky, which will not help you of course. Try googling “Security Certificates and Chrome” – I believe from several other forum posts, that this came up after browser updates. It certainly did in Firefox, which had so many complaints that they brought out another update to fix it.
EDIT: OOOPPSS!! Chrome does have a problem: –

I'm out.JB, this is the later version of my own stereo 2:1 speaker system. It’s powerful enough for the desktop and the wired centre bass “Woofer” goes under the desk. It has a Bass control knob which can adjust for more or less bass. I have had mine for many years, always given great service. If I leave off my hearing aids, stick on some Stones or Creedence/John Fogerty rock, pump up the volume and bass, I get complaints from SWMBO. A useful tool for those “I can’t hear you” moments” There is absolutely no distortion at those times.
EDIT: should be one green plug from the cables out of the centre speaker. That goes to the green socket in your mobo’s sound card.
EDIT II: This Logitech is more powerful, for a bit more money:
Logitech is a well respected brand.

I'm out.Your Orangutan is still there in the post, John.
Did you know that “Orang-Utan”, in all the many Dayak languages of Borneo and Sumatra, means “Old Man of the Woods”?
They believe that the apes are the spirits of departed humans.
“Right Turn, Clyde!” from the Clint Eastwood movie “Every Which Way But Loose.”
An ape more intelligent than some humans, and about 5 times more physically powerful!

I'm out.Could it be the date/time is wrong in BIOS rather than Windows – if you have checked that ignore me but worth a look.
Valid point from BL: also, how old is the PC, how long was it switched off/unplugged? BIOS batteries, when they are older, do not like losing the charge trickled in 24/7 when the wall socket is plugged in and switched on. Try a new CR 2032 BIOS battery, available anywhere. I always run a power cable to a stored PC, leave the power socket and PC PSU switch ON (if there is one fitted at the rear of the PSU) and PC switched OFF at front panel.
I have a feeling that not all those browsers could be wrong!

I'm out.Thanks Steve, I will set that up myself when I return from Chemo later today. What a useful tip, in view of how my life has gone lately.
Cheers mate!

I'm out.BL I agree that the Muslim Paedo gangs are as evil as they come, but people are beginning to view them as all tarred with the same brush; look at the hate spilled across social media. This does not equate with the Muslim friends I know: for one example, a young couple live next door to my niece, whose husband was left crippled by a massive stroke. He is a very big lad and my niece is quite small. When she needs to take him anywhere, this young couple put him in his chair and then into the car.
The most ironic, stupid thing I learned a couple of weeks ago, concerned a Sikh mate in Nottingham. Vijay was out late, and attacked by 3 thugs yelling the usual “Paki” garbage. How they worked that one out, to fit a 6’6″ Sikh with a turban, I will never know. But unfortunately for them, Vijay is fully trained in his people’s own Martial Arts. He wound up having to call an ambulance and police to the scene, having put all 3 on the deck. The mistake his attackers had made was compounded, when Vijay’s cousin was one of the two coppers.
Certainly there have been some very disgusting crimes against young white children by some Muslim groups, just as with some white groups, but that does not mean that all Muslims, or all whites, are the same. One of my Iraqi mates has said many times how disgusted he and his people are with these gangs. He also says that what they do is totally against the Q’ran and they should be banned from their mosques.
The problem for the police, is being accused of “institutional racism” by all the left wing lawyers and do-gooders. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

I'm out.I have an A5 book that I made myself from a cheap plastic A5 ring binder and Landscape A4 pages, which I cut centrally, to make 2 Alphabetised A5 pages. I used Open Office to design the pages, type out all my passwords, reference details and short “Help” files into text boxes which expand with more typing. I used 3 layers of sellotape along punch holes to stop the pages tearing. As I produce new/changed passwords, I cross out the old, write out the new and later print 1 new page. The small A5 book is easy to hide from prying eyes. I have the page templates in a folder on my desktop.
Firefox saves passwords if you ask it, so I occasionally trawl through Saved Passwords in FF and delete the old stuff.

I'm out.Ed, that last suggests that the Boombox may not be properly screened. I would investigate the innards.

I'm out.It certainly does, Spedley. The man is a violent, foul mouthed, racist, waste of space. They should put him in the Wing that houses most Muslim offenders. Perhaps he would be radicalised. Or something.

I'm out.I never had a problem getting any of my German Sheppies to eat, but every single one would go right off drink at the wrong time: when it was really, really hot. Stupid buggas just would not drink. I found the best solution with the last one, who lived in the workshop with me at work: he loved ice cold milk. Yes, I know it’s wrong, but I let him drink just enough then started dribbling cold water into the bowl and he fell for it. Eventually he drank so much water that his belly was distended, after which he had a HUGE urinary event and I made him lie down in a cool corner, with a breeze playing over him.
My Army dog Blue, I would buy and boil up a Sheep’s head, and make up a thick stew with carrots and whatever dry biscuits I could find, let it set. (he loved carrots) those two were pure-bred German, proper Deutscher Schäferhund, with all the papers. They were both massive dogs, but my Blue had been bred as an attack dog and had to be carefully kept. My workshop dog J-J was maybe a little larger, but due to his early life of abuse, he hated everything and everyone except for myself and the garage staff. I used to make him a sheep’s head stew too, every 2 weeks, he loved it. An Army vet gave me that tip for bigger dogs, reckoned it gave them stuff they didn’t get in tins and dry food. I never actually gave any of my dogs tinned food, always got to know a local butcher and got scraps: all good meat, that humans would not eat. I got them knuckle bones as well, stripped out the marrow from bones and cooked it in with the sheep’s heads. The living proof was always a healthy dog. J-J was not the garage dog, he was mine and would go home with me, once he knew the family and decided they were not for eating!

I'm out.It’s all fully secured Steve and I don’t bank using a mobile, don’t have to. Missus uses her laptop to bank and I use this desktop, we can reach the branch easily. IT specialist & network engineer gson has made sure everything is fully secured, although I have just changed my passwords and other details, I do it at irregular intervals. The annoying thing about TSB (and other sites) is that they don’t accept any other characters but lower and upper case letters and numbers in passwords. I like sprinkling a few odd symbols about.
Yesterday morning I had someone “shoulder surfing” at an ATM. Before even inputting my card, I gave him my best snarl and an invitation to ‘go away’ which he did, accompanied by stares from two more people waiting. Complete stranger to them both, they said. That’s his pitch ruined, bet he finds another.

I'm out.No Richard, my weight has not recovered, although some of that is down to increased physical activity and some to my continuing resistance to biccies and chocolate! The beauty spot we visited yesterday was Rufford Country Park, in my birth county of Nottinghamshire:
The county has always been well endowed with such attractions, but Rufford is well worth a visit for anyone who is around the Sherwood Forest area. The lake is a huge area, although some years ago the presence of the Nottinghamshire coalfield and its attendant subsidence issues, caused the lake bed to split and massive amounts of water were lost. I have some photos of the damage somewhere, but nowadays you would not think that it had never been anything other than a large, tranquil body of water, with lots of waterfowl. There are always lots of visitors, but the lake is so big that there is always a quiet spot somewhere. SWMBO and I walked about halfway round the lake, which is 150 acres, so we must have walked a fair bit and explains why neither of us took more than a few seconds to fall asleep last night.
I am now at 10 stone and 11 pounds and none of my trousers fit! As I have a parastomal hernia on the left, my abdomen is unnaturally extended on that side, which creates occasional comments from those who do not know me (and know no better) with regard to a Beer Belly. I correct these people by explaining exactly what happened to me, which usually has them changing facial colour. I have to wear high-waisted trousers in order to keep everything in check and free from abrasion. The only place I have found that makes these, is https://www.chums.co.uk/ and they have generally been fine, until the last order of two pairs of trousers, dropping two waist sizes. One pair was fine, but the other was 2″ longer in the leg than the label stated. I had also ordered a leather belt, which came obviously used, damaged, broken by some numpty trying to make further holes in it with an inappropriate tool. You can bet that i sent both belt and trousers back, with photos of the damaged belt and the difference in leg length shown by comparing trousers and measuring clearly with a seamstress’ tape. (SWMBO’s) Why does no one carry out their workplace duties accurately and conscientiously anymore?

I'm out.No such entertainment here. Been to a beauty spot about 60 miles away in Notts all day, just boring blue skies and 25ºC until about 6 pm, when we went home. Still warm here now, no entertaining weather.
Bummer.
