    In a bit of a pickle!

    Is it possible to get our old messages back?

    I've come back onto the forums after one of the admins kindly showed me how to log back in (I was having problems after the upgrade). All seems to be working, but blimey it does look a lot different! I was going to look at some of the recent messages I've posted, but there doesn't seem to be...

    Last night there was an earthquake where I live. Living only a couple of miles or so from the epicentre, I felt hardly anything at all, which is very surprising given that I had friends outside the area posting messages on social media about what they felt and heard. The last quake I can...

    Slow cooker recipes

    I have started using my slow cooker again after a couple of years. As my home has now been made Alexa-friendly, the idea is to get the slow cooker scheduled to turn on and prepare my dinner in time for me coming home from work! I am currently making a stew - made with beef, carrots, celery...

    Limerick game!

    The aim of this game is to write a limerick using your own CF user name. Not as easy as it sounds! Here's mine to get us started. There was a young lad called Ant, who came on the forums to rant! He posted in haste and, utterly disgraced, found it far too late to recant!

They were were sometimes good fun but at other times incredibly frustrating because no-one could work out the answers! And even more annoying when the solution should have been so obvious! Here is a...
