    LibreOffice Calc

    Thanks for the reply. The files are small basically new sheets with just a couple of columns and maybe 20 rows. I have tried version 7 which made no difference, I have also tried an older version (6.3) which also has the issue. The computer is also quite new, with a 3600 CPU, 16gb ram and NVME...

    LibreOffice Calc

    I have started using LibreOffice suite and in particular LibreOffice Calc. However I've noticed that it takes an age (say about a minute or so) to load a saved file for the first time. However when opening another file without closing the first one it is near instant. If LibreOffice Calc is...

    FIFA 19

    Took me a while to get the FUTBIN working had to go to PC. https://www.futbin.com/19/squad/3032160 That should be my squad and formation hopefully. All have basic chemistry at the moment and all are tradeable except for the GK. If I kept Fernando Heirro he would slot in and replace Gimenez...

    FIFA 19

    Opened a bunch of card packs spending all gold I had in club. Got lucky with a 91 CB Fernando Heirro Icon with last pack. Seems to be worth about a million. Should I keep or sell him? Is he a good Icon?

    Capital Gains Tax with second property.

    As far as I know if they sell their main property they are not likely to pay capital gains tax on it due to 'private residence relief'. See this government link www.gov.uk/tax-sell-home . The full detail of the rules for tax efficiency when you have two homes is a bit more complicated and I'd...

    Advice on neighbour's howling dog.

    Don't really see a problem with this. In an ideal world the dog wouldn't be left alone or only for very short times. However, in the real world people need to work to pay bills. It does depend on the dog though, if the dog is getting very stressed by staying alone for a long period of time then...

    Private car sale woes - 3 year update - car driven with no MOT

    Agree that you may need to check out the conduct in work issue. No-one knows the full overly bureaucratic policies but I vaguely recall for my work policy there may be something about selling things in work. Now I think that is more proactive selling it by advertising etc, but I suppose it...

    Merge lanes and self righteous drivers

    If I wasn't clear I think it make sense when there are queues and everyone should be using both lanes but when there are no queues (just a few cars) then travelling down the empty lane to try and make progress is 'pushing in'. But to be clear I mean that when the few cars are closely packed...

    Merge lanes and self righteous drivers

    Looks to me like the traffic is faster on the single lane on the GIF :p. That said, the benefit of merging and using 2 lanes would be to prevent congestion somewhere further back and having a knock on effect which slows traffic down elsewhere if everyone was in a single lane queue when 2...

    Police Taser their own race relations adviser in Bristol

    Some people have different experiences in life that change their reactions. Also he was an innocent victim, not guilty of any offence, maybe he could have handled it better. But if you had previous bad experience at the hands of police how would you react? Would you give your name if you thought...

    Police Taser their own race relations adviser in Bristol

    I agree, doubt she intended to hit his face. Look at her body language (she's stiff especially her free arm and look at her facial expression); I think she's just completely out of her element and unable to deal with those situations. At a minimum needs retraining or she shouldn't be a police...

    Police Taser their own race relations adviser in Bristol

    I think what Craterloads and dl8860 are saying is pretty spot on. Sure he could have avoided the situation, but he did not do anything wrong either. Also I can see how he would take offence at the officer's tone given the likely history of him or people he knows being stopped unjustly...

    Car passanger opened my door into adjacent car - Help!

    Totally agree with this, such a compensation culture nowadays and I mean one where people want and seem to get more than it actually costs to correct. That does not encourage good behaviour and honesty. If someone did minor damage to my car and owned up I would go with a reasonable quote to...

    Police pull motorist for driving too slowly

    While I agree it would seem slow, I think it is ridiculous the police stopping them for this especially in Northern Ireland. After all in Northern Ireland we have a 45mph limit for 'R' drivers on the motorway, which is frankly silly and less safe than allowing them to drive to the same speed...

    Electrical Query - Burns / Electrocution

    Thanks darael that was the kind of thing I was after illustrating how the insulation works :). Also thanks to those other replies that were trying to be helpful rather than flippant.

    Electrical Query - Burns / Electrocution

    Well surely if it was just a piece of metal connected to electricity the whole thing would be live. So I assume it must be like the heating element in a kettle or hob which is a metal coil covered by insulating material to prevent the outer surface becoming live covered by another metal or...

    Electrical Query - Burns / Electrocution

    If you touch the metal part of a soldering iron would you just get burned or would you also get electrocuted? I'm fairly sure you just get burned, but why is this the case? Surely if it is metal with electricity flowing through to heat it you would be electrocuted too? Wondering a similar...

    Motorist kills my bicycle

    From looking at it I don't think you do need to contact the police. I think it's only if you were asked for information and did not supply it. So if you asked them for it they either have to show it to you or if they don't have it with them then probably produce it to the police (although I...

    Family wedding dilemma

    Like others have said they probably have to draw a line somewhere for cost. Frankly I think weddings and the like are a waste of money, especially inviting people you have little to do with half the time. It would also depend on how close your sister's partner (and sister) is to them. It's...

    Eleven children injured in Blyth park dog attack...

    Staffies get a lot of hate that they do not deserve. Firstly the Staffy is actually recommended as being good with children by the kennel club and is nicknamed the nanny dog. Any dog can act out if the owner is bad. And like others have said certain breeds seem to attract bad owners. If...
