  • Yahoo Answers. Objection response ignored.?

    Someone made a frivolous objection to an answer of mine. I duly sent a reasonable response but nothing whatsoever has happened. This has happened twice. Has anyone else had this experience?

  • Insomnia is driving me crazy!?

    My sleep pattern has been blown out of the water! I sleep in two or three hour segments and then am wide awake. This often carries on through the day. Fortunately, I am retired so that doesn't matter.

    Does anyone have any recommendations as to lifestyle or medicines which will help me to get back to a normal pattern?

    Thank you for any advice that you can offer.

    Can you identify this dog, please?

    I was driving along a remote track, here in Greece, in a terrible rainstorm. I saw this chap looking rather woebegone and stopped my car. At first he was very cautious but then came bounding towards me. He was in a terrible state. Soaking wet, of course, and his fur was very matted. Anyway, he was bathed and brushed at home and is a very friendly creature. Our French Pointer isn't very impressed, though!

    Can anyone suggest what sort of breed he might be?

    Thank you.

    In moment of madness, I "upgraded" to Windows 8.1 from XP.

    Disastrous!

    Can anyone please tell me where I can go from here to return to my beloved XP?

    Thanks a lot.

  • Tiny nodules on my dog's head.?

    Dennis is a 13 year old French Pointer. Recently I have noticed very small nodules appearing on his head. They are no bigger than a pin head. I think that they might be dead tics but am not sure. They do not seem to bother him at all but I am concerned. I live in Greece and it is an hour's drive to get to a vet so any advice will be welcome.

  • Has Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Answers gone utterly crazy?

    I have been using Yahoo Mail for many years quite happily. Now it has been "improved" and I am completely lost!

    Similarly, I have answered many hundreds of question on Yahoo Answers but the new version is a retrograde step.

    Does any one else agree with me or am I alone?

  • How many dog owners sleep with their dogs?

    My French Pointer is thirteen-years-old and is my faithful companion and friend. I will cry buckets when he goes to the Great Dog Kennel in the sky! A few years back he started to sleep at the bottom of my bed and, when it got to winter, crept under the bed clothes with me. Great, it saves on heating my electric blanket! At this point I have to say that there is nothing whatsoever sexual in this arrangement.

    I am just interested to know how many other dog owners sleep with their dogs and will admit to it!

  • My Yahoo Mail has gone crazy.?

    A week ago, when I logged on, it told me that I had 25 new mails. There were two. This figure has gradually increased day-by-day until this morning, when it tells me that I have well in excess of 100! There was one!

    Incidentally, I agree that the new layout for both Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Answers are quite appalling!

    Thanks to anyone who can help me.

  • British couple adopting a foreign adult?

    My wife and I have a devoted (and very intelligent!) 25 yo Bangladeshi houseman. We live in Greece but would like to take him back to the UK from time to time and maybe settle him there with British nationality. Does anybody have any experience of such a situation or can you point us in the right direction. If we can adopt him would that give him the right to British nationality? All answers will be very much appreciated..

  • Non-resident UK citizen looking for a good offshore account?

    I have been a customer of the Bank of Scotland for more than thirty years, most of those as non-resident. Now they tell me that they cannot continue to operate my account and are trying to persuade me to move to an off shore account I have a fairly substantial amount on deposit as well as a current account. The new rate of interest on transferring my deposit account is quite ludicrous. 1.5% as opposed to a very modest 2.7%. Does anyone have experience of operating an offshore current and deposit account with which they are satisfied?
