Ed P – Yes, I think you are quite right in what you say and have been looking at some UPSs for them as and when all is repaired. This was a hit on the tel line which took out a few things linked to it, but the mains was OK. Perhaps a UPS would be preferable to a surge protector?
Have been looking at the mobo – can’t see anything out of the ordinary apart from the slightly blackened inside of the Cat 5 socket – so I suspect a new mobo will be the first replacement and then try the CPU and the RAM – though this can be tested beforehand on a different PC.
Hoping it’ll just be the mobo.

Not had time yet to do much with it but looks like the surge came in on the tel line – b/alarm, phone and BB dead!
Probably blown the router too – no homehub as such – just line to router – to PC.
Might have a look at the Hager stuff, see the price and advice them accordingly.

Yes, the owner said there was a ‘hell of a bang’ at the time, I said it was her PC knocking at Heaven’s door!!
Obviously will need to check PSU, RAM, HDD, Optical – which will be easy, I have to assume the mobo has gone to PC Heaven so it may be a replacement job and then see what state the CPU is in on the new mobo.
Isn’t life sometimes cr*p?? But if it wasn’t, there’d be nowt to complain about!!

To date after a very short inspection post mobo removal – nothing stands out but it was a quick visual inspection. No obvious holes or components hanging on by thin wires or burnt tracks for the sake of their lives at the moment!! No smoke either!
It’ll be a case of remove, inspect, test etc. etc.
The Cat5 socket on the mobo is not the same colour as on delivery!! ‼‼‼
I strongly suspect an act of God – He must be anti-Windows 10 – never had it on any other OS!! ?⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Thanks Duke, I certainly select the Power Off option in the ‘start’ menu – will check the rest of your suggestions tomorrow.
Will update.

The Pope and Trump are on the same stage in Yankee Stadium in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Trump and says “Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, but will go deep into their hearts and they’ll speak forever of this day and rejoice!”
Trump replied, “I seriously doubt that! With one wave of your hand….Show me!”
So the Pope backhanded him and knocked him off the stage!
AND THE CROWD ROARED AND CHEERED WILDLY
and there was happiness throughout the land

A mother was working in the kitchen, listening to her five-year-old son playing with his new electric train set in the living room.
She heard the train stop and her son saying,
“All of You B*****ds who want off, get the f**k off now, cause we’re in a hurry! And all of you B*****ds who are getting on, get the f**k on, cause we’re going down the tracks”.
The horrified mother went in and told her son,
“We don’t use that kind of language in this house.
Now I want you to go to your room and stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nicer language”.
Two hours later, the son came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train.Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, ”All passengers who are disembarking the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for travelling with us today and hope your journey was a pleasant one”.
She hears the little boy continue,“For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on this train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.”
As the mother began to smile, the child added“For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the fat bitch in the kitchen”.

Australian, an Irishman and a Scouser are in a bar.
They’re staring at another man sitting on his own at a table over in the corner.He’s so familiar looking, and not recognizing him is driving them mad.
They stare and stare, until suddenly the Irishman twigs:”My God, it’s Jesus!”
Sure enough, it is Jesus, nursing a pint.
Thrilled to bits, they send him over a pint of Guinness, a pint of Fosters, and a pint of bitter.Jesus accepts the drinks, smiles over at the three men, and drinks the pints slowly, one after another.
After he’s finished the drinks, Jesus approaches the trio.
He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the Guinness.
When he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of amazement: “My God! The arthritis I’ve had for 30 years is gone. It’s a miracle!”
Jesus then shakes the Aussie’s hand, thanking him for the lager.
As he lets go, the man’s eyes widen in shock.
”Strewth mate, the bad back I’ve had all my life is completely gone! It’s a pure Miracle”.
Jesus then approaches the Scouser who says,”Back off, mate, I’m on disability benefit.

Police cordoned off Glasgow City Centre this morning when a suspicious object was discovered in a car.
It later turned out to be a road tax disc.

A Primary Teacher explains to her class that she is a Liverpool fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they too, are Liverpool fans.Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, “Mary, why didn’t you raise your hand?”
”Because I’m not a Liverpool fan,” she replied.
The teacher, still shocked, asked, ”Well, if you are not an Liverpool fan, then who are you a fan of?”
”I am a Manchester Utd fan, and proud of it”.The teacher could not believe her ears.
“Mary, why, pray tell me, are you a Man Utd fan?”
“Because my mum is a Man Utd fan, and my dad is a Man Utd fan, I’ a Man Utd fan too!”“Well,” said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, ”that is no reason for you to be a Man Utd fan. You don’ have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mum was a prostitute, and your dad was a drug Addict, what would you be then?”
“Then, in that case” said Mary smiling, ”I’d surely be a Liverpool fan”.

Military Truisms
• Aim towards the Enemy –instruction printed on US rocket launcher.
• Cluster bombing is very, very accurate. The bombs always hit the ground.
• Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered
automatic weapons.
• Don’t ever be the first, don’t ever be the last, and don’t ever volunteer to do anything.
• If your attack is going too well, you are walking into an ambush.
• If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan your mission properly.
• Don’t draw fire; it irritates the people around you.
• No combat ready unit has ever passed inspection.
• Any ship can be a minesweeper . . . . once.
• If the enemy is in range, so are you.
• Tracers work both ways.
• Friendly fire isn’t.
• Five second fuses only last three seconds.
• Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
• The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already mined it.
• Incoming fire has the right of way.
• Clothing stores only two sizes: too large and too small.
• If you can see the enemy, he can see you.
• And never tell your Boss you have nothing to do.The more you meet people the more you understand why Noah took animals instead of humans
Medicare – Aussie Style.
The phone rings and the lady of the house answers,
“Hello.”
“Mrs. Sanders, please.”
“Speaking.”
“Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband’s doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from another Mr. Sanders arrived as well… We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good.”
“What do you mean?” Mrs. Sanders asks nervously.
“Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer’s and the other one tested positive for HIV. We can’t tell which is which.”
“That’s dreadful! Can you do the test again?” questioned Mrs. Sanders.
“Normally we can, but MEDICARE will only pay for these expensive tests once.”
“Well, what am I supposed to do now?”
“The MEDICARE Helpdesk recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don’t sleep with him.”

The US Postal Service created a stamp with a picture of President Trump, but the new stamp was not sticking to envelopes
This enraged the President who demanded a full investigation.
After weeks of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:The stamp is in perfect order.
There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.

And to think all of this started from a simple question I posted – MM is alive still!!??

Thank you all for the input, I will try getiplayer and give it a go before the big day.
Bob, the Druid in the National Eisteddfod (NE) do not think they are descended from God’s chosen own. Personally I abhor the Eisteddfod and what it stands for – yes it is a forum for the Welsh to show their talents but it is also a breeding ground for nationalism. Nuff said on that.
I remember a few years ago in the local regional paper a discussion had taken place which involved ‘train spotting’ and the attire normally associated with those who love that hobby and who have to stand/sit on cold, windy platforms.
In reply a high ranking Druid from the NE commented on their attire and derided it to the extreme until someone responded that as a Druid – he walked around a field dressed in a white dressing gown or smock, wearing a white shower cap on his head whilst also sporting white wellies.
There was no response to that comment from the illustrious Druid.

Thank you one and all, it will be August when I try this and probably it will be from Sky Q as this will allow me to tape the whole ‘caboodle’ as I call the Eisteddfod. Just not my cup of tea at all.

The A55 Expressway has helped a lot – gets you into the jam faster!!
In the old days when I was a young copper, access to Anglesey was via the A5 – passing the Crem at Bangor, through the city and along Upper Bangor and the old C&A Hospital to the Menai Suspension Bridge.
I remember one hot Saturday when traffic was queuing back miles and miles some wag stuck a note up on the A5 by the crematorium, it read:
“Anglesey Full“.

Bob,
I do sympathise with the problem – on my patch it was caravans – we have 100s of them. At the end of the season I was amazed how many quality o/b motors were still attached to powerboats and simply left by the caravan over winter despite the caravan site having secure facilities. Come spring we’d have a glut of stolen items reported from various caravan sites – strange thing was we never ever recovered any of them. They’d report stolen things like 22-26″ B&O TVs (in those days!!), quality radios/CD players, carbon fibre fishing rods and reels and God knows what else – on a personal basis – I still think they were never there to steal in the first place. It was an insurance scam.
I took it up with a few ins cos. suggesting that their cover should specify what valuable items were in the vans and what had been left over winter with a rider that they would not cover what we were told was being stolen – answer – Yes it would be great if they could do that, but the ins bus was so cut throat that it would only take one company not to do it, that the others would lose business. In other words – pay out and increase the premiums for ALL annually.
It would be interesting to see if the Lincs Police and others who run these schemes ever had feedback from the public to say how effective their leaflets had been.
The biggest problem in the UK is the “IT WON’T HAPPEN TO ME – ism”

Years ago when I was in the police I suggested this re cowboy builders in this area – another very lucrative sideline. The tragedy is that it doesn’t work – people are not really interested in it until they get scammed and then the remembered something they read in the local rag / library etc. etc.
The Lincs CC and Co. are probably doing it to ‘show they are trying to do something about it’ – knowing full well that 99.9% of their population will not bother with it until ……!!
The moral is – You can take a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
Perhaps I should add that when I was on CID my favourite crime was fraud – mental chess with the perpetrator but I always kept a sign about my desk with read:-
Doing a good job around here is like wetting yourself in a dark suit, it gives you a warm feeling but no one else notices.
You can tell, inform the public in so many ways, even more so nowadays than in my time, but unfortuntely whilst technology has moved on, you still have to deal with the Mk1 Human.
