  1. Eccles church could be demolished for affordable housing block:

    So, a conservative estimate of at least another 50 or so cars wanting somewhere to park, and they say 18 parking spaces are planned.

    That area is already suffering a severe lack of parking spaces! 🙄

  2. I've had a re-think and I'm currently testing an account with Mailo.

    I created a new calendar and imported my Google Calendar - then I did a search for the series of events that Zoho couldn't find and . . .

    Success! Mailo listed all those older events!

    Another bonus is, it was so easy to add both the emails and calendars to my desktop and phone.

    Mailo looks promising so far!

  3. It's back to Google Calendar! 🙄

    A few months ago, I exported all my calendars/events from Google Calendar to Zoho Calendar.

    Today, wanting to search for a series of older events from previous years - Zoho reported no results! 🤔

    Upon checking in my still existing Google Calendar, all those events were there since 2019. 👍

    I'll have to have a re-think on this one! 🤔

  4. This gave me one huge smile! Whatever happens between now and the end of the season, at this moment in time it's never been so apt!

  5. Fingers crossed, that 'I don't need no doctor' during their strike action in the UK:

  6. I had the pleasure of attending the Bachman-Turner Overdrive concert at the Manchester UK Free Trade Hall in 1975 (OMG, was that really 50 years ago?) and was so pleased to find this more recent concert on YouTube:

  7. Out-of-office messages blaming Democrats for shutdown sent on behalf of some federal workers without their consent:

    Firstly, let me say that I NEVER discuss politics on any online forum, and I won't be starting now!

    I seem to recall that, when I was furloughed during COVID, my then employer added their own out-of-office (OOO) message, which I considered entirely reasonable.

    For all emails sent out, there was always a company 'signature' added which was basically an advert for the company anyway.

    If you're out of office (vacation, etc) would it be an idea to take responsibility away from the employee - instead have the company do the out-of-office message?

  8. At long last, after about 20 or so tries to complete game #5 I finally did it! 🥳

  9. Exporting last months emails from Thunderbird, using the ImportExportToolsNG extension:

    Result:

    1. Linux Mint Mini PC - nothing happened!
    2. Linux Mint Laptop - nothing happened!
    3. Windows 11 Laptop - worked as expected!

    When I say nothing happened, I had searched/selected the required emails and pressed the 'Export' button - nothing! 😞

    Anyone else had problems with exporting their emails? 🤔

  10. Any Zoho Mail experts here? I have 3 domains in my account (1x com, 1x net, 1 x org) with 'com' being the 'primary domain'. I have a filter set up to forward specific 'net' emails to a Gmail address. The emails forward but I notice (in my Gmail account) that 'mailed-by' is showing as 'com' (my primary domain) and not the 'net' domain. Is there any reason why this is happening, perhaps I've missed some setting in my Zoho account? 🤔

  11. I'm still getting great service from my HP ProBook (S-series) 4530s, that I bought in October 2011 (I've still got the email and invoice from when I ordered it!). It had 4GB RAM and a 250GB HDD, I've since doubled the RAM and replaced the HDD with an SSD. It's currently rocking Manjaro Cinnamon, which seems to suit it better than Linux Mint did - don't ask me why! Even after all these years, it still looks as good as it did when new - I never mistreat my hardware!

  12. The Walking Dead The Ones Who Live S01E03: It looks like Michonne did a 'DB Cooper', but instead of jumping from an aircraft with ransom money, she jumped with a human prize!

  13. I never for one minute considered Shane to be a 'villain' in The Walking Dead. He was quick to adapt to the apocalypse and he did the right thing by looking after Lori and Carl, but was ultimately a victim of circumstance.
