WD All and thanks Tim

Add 1 position to each letter DKNY gets ELOZ; then take one letter away (the 'Z'). Very crafty clue, lol

I didn't know The Simon Park Orchestra played the Van Der Valk theme. That tune will be in my head all day now!

Beauty!

Nice one Tim, thank you.

thanks tim

wd all

Thanks for playing, everyone. Someone else doing tomorrow?

Not sure if squares or Aspro will be doing one tomorrow, but will look in to see. I probably won't do another films one until next weekend (running out of suitable titles...I might be forced to dip into Lollywood cinema! ha ha).

Sorry, reg, saw this

12...who?

and thought you were answering with `The Who`!
I`m a bit musical, and this was one of the first tunes I remember learning how to play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV8t3jA-krc

maybe next Friday or Saturday for me to put one up?

Anyone any quizzes lined up for the weekend?

I can do Friday or Saturday if anyone is around and interested?

Assuming Aspro is still struggling to access the forum?

I've put one together but probably have to wait till next week.

I've been working on some during the evening, can probably be ready for tomorrow. But if you want to put yours up first LG, if you have time tomorrow, I can put mine up Sat/Sun. But happy to go either way schedule-wise...

And I can do mine Friday, Saturday or Sunday to fit in with anyone else

Thanks chaps but can't do mine until next week. My quiz is old TV shows by the way, bit of a change from songs, singers and films.

Okay thanks LG. I'm happy to put mine up at 13:00 today, and then squares maybe p.m. today or tomorrow, depending how the time goes?

TV shows should be a good change too, don't think we've done that category yet, look forward to that LG.

Tomorrow early pm to put mine up is fine.

That sounds good squares. So the schedule is squares tomorrow and LG next week.

No sign of Aspro again today, so guess he must still be having tech issues.

I have an issue where my laptop goes to sleep, but when I 'wake it up' the internet connection is down (not always, but most of the time) and I can only get it back with a complete restart (which can be a bit annoyingly slow these days). I don't know if any tech guys would know a possible cause and fix for that? The connection is hardwired to the router.

Is your house phone connected to the same hub? I had a similar software problem years ago that whenever the phone rung, I lost my internet connection which were all hard wired.

That's a good thought pp. The phone and router are indeed connected to the same hub. I'll try some experimentation with that in mind, many thanks for the tip, much appreciated

It might be worth checking with your provider for any software updates.

Thanks again pp, I'll check that too.
