    birding with a disability

    Nina, Have a look at www.motability.co.uk . I don't think it's anything to do with post code. I think you've been given some duff gen. Anyway, have a look. there's a couple of phone numbers on there that you can ring. (It's nice to be a poser in an 05 Tina instead of the M Reg. Vauxhall Astra) H

    birding with a disability

    Nina, I have a mo0biltiy car. My main reason was that I wanted reliabily. On my brother's advice (RAC Patrolman) I went for a Nissan Almero and in 4 years I've had no problems. I have the Tino at the moment. You're allowed to do 45,000 over 3years. Insurance is free, so are servicing and...

    birding with a disability

    Nina, It seems to be a good idea to have a disabled shoppers group. A bit like The Fat Birder started with the Disabled Birders Association (DBA). I'm not much good at that sort of thing. I tend to see the others point of view too much and end up agreeing with them. Not much good when you're...

    birding with a disability

    Nina, It was a bit strande at first then I treated it as I treat most things. Good humouredly and a bit of a joke. If you can laugh at yourself, it's half the battle. Everyone was very nice, actually, but there are some people whom wander around in a little world of there own. Y'know, don't...

    birding with a disability

    Nina, Letting someone know where you are going is nothing to do with having a disability, although having a disability might affect when you let people know where you're going. I used to do a lot of walking in "wild places" and I always phoned someone (usually the wife) to let them know where I...

    birding with a disability

    DJ, I believe it's 6 blasts of the whistle for assistance. As Henry said, let someone know where you're going and what time you'll be back. Also, it's a good idea to take some food and water with you, just in case, depends where you are, of course. There're high energy foods on the market that...

    Which Tripod & Head?

    Seems that you have camera shake and it takes about 1 sec to settle down. I take it that you are using remote control. No expert, BTW, Brian. Perhaps Andy could advise. H

    "Beware New Spyware"

    Norton 2005 found a three that caused medium risk. 2 of them from file name mediatickets.exe. Showed them to be in a hidden folder "local service". They apparently do nasty things to your "trrusted sites" zone and attempts to fraudulently install trusted publishers. The other one was Hotbar...

    Norton Anti-Virus

    The mysteries of computing! When I clicked on my desktop shortcut to open NortonAv, I was told each time that in order to run the Av I had to restart my computer. This I did (a few times) to be greeted by the same message. For some obscure reason I right clicked on the icon in the taskbar. I was...

    Some Basic Computer Concepts and Programs

    Carson, Thanks for that. I've been running NortonAV for some years , now. Ain't a techy and don't want to be. Just as I want to get into my car and have it get me from A to B with no hassle. If there is hassle then the RAC can deal with it. It's their job. Having said that, about a week ago I...
