I recently got a new laptop which has cyberlink power DVD 8 installed on it. When i click to use the software however it asks for the CD-Key. As i was never given a CD-Key i assume the number should be stored somewhere, does anyone have any good ideas as where i should look?

I am rather foolishly going camping near Dartmoor, Devon, England next weekend and i am getting a little worried by the general crapness of the weather. Fingers crossed it wont be too bad but if the worst is to happen what activities can people recommend in the dartmoor / north devon area which wont result in my drowning or freezing to death. Thanks for your help

I'm sorry i doubted you people of Britain. Finally we have Christmas number 1 we can be proud of.

Who agrees with me? and who's wrong and disagrees with me, and why?

Man Utd and Liverpool both lost yesterday and Chelsea losing today. This league has gone all strange on us. With no team in the league being able to show the remotest bit of consistency who do you think will finally take the title this season?

The candidates include Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Spurs, Man City, Birmingham, Liverpool and Fulham.

I know one team in there looks a bit ridiculous but never count anyone out. Liverpool could theoretically still win the league!

My money (all £10 of it) is on Aston Villa. They are the only side in the top half (with the exception of Birmingham) who are actually showing signs of improvement and winning consistently.

OK he's a good footballer and had a decent season but really?

own up who voted for him?

I have a couple of grand to save but have no idea where to put it. My bank (HSBC) advised me that the best place was a tax free cash ISA which was offering 1.75% interest.

Now i know the base rate is only at 0.5% so amazing deals aren't likely but i'm sure there must be something better than this. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

my laptop wasn't on and i have a very short memory. Susie perry recommended a cooking website in which you put in what food you have in your cupboards and it gives you recipes. anyone remember what it was called. This was on the gadget show about 30 min ago

I have some fantastic panarama shots from Peru but no software up to the job of stitching them together. Is there any decent free software out there that i can get to do the job?

A - Phil Brown (Hull)

B - Rafa Benitez (Liverpool)

C- Paul Hart (Pompey)

D- Zola (West ham)

E- Gary Megson (Bolton)

eight red cards in the premier league so far today. is this a conspiracy by the referees or are the football players just all in a bad mood?

I was perusing the isles in my local supermarket this evening trying to decide what cereals to get when It occurred to me that i hadn't had Golden Grahams in a long time, which i realised was odd as they were always one of my favourites. So off i go to the cereal isle to get them and to my shock they weren't there! i was most vexed by this but decided to continue my search in the nearby Tesco so off i went.

Alas Tesco was also lacking in the golden grahams i so desired. maybe i was just unlucky but now that i think about it i can't remember the last time i saw a box. Have they been discontinued? am i to live the rest of my days never again to enjoy the honeyey, wheaty flavour?

I have just retuned my TV to find that now i get a very bad signal for Five and no longer get ITV3 or ITV4. What benefit are we supposed to be getting from this change? i'm now down to only being able to get 10 channels. Has anybody actually gained anything from whatever change they have made?

I'm not talking about big, poisonous tarantulas but the pointless daddy long legs that we get in this country.

It seems illogical because i can't work out what about them could possible be scary, what do people think is going to happen if they are left in the room with them?

If someone can explain what is scary then maybe i will have a reason to stop picking them up and holding them in front of my housemate.

I have just returned home from holiday in peru. On my way out i had two flights, one from london to new york and then another from new york to lima (peru). i unfortunately missed my 2nd flight on the way out because my first flight was over 1 hour late and i couldn't get through customs in time. I was automatically booked onto the next available flight the next day, however this meant a 24 hour stay in new york. My question is if continental should pay for the cost of the hotel? (i.e. do they have any legal obligations to do so?). Both flights were continental airways flights so it is their fault that i missed my flight.

If anyone has anny experience of something like this their advice would be much appreciated.

muchos gracias

It should be the easiest thing in the world. You decide what you want to eat, go to the shop, and buy it.

However for some reason i always fail in this simplest of tasks to buy what i intended. it's like the shop has some sort of hold over me. Today i went to simply buy some bread, mushrooms, milk and beer and i some how ended up with Tuna, carrots, strawberries and milk.

I don't know how this happened, i saw the strawberries and tuna reduced so bought them and in my head that was 2 down and 2 to go, one of which i knew was milk the other a vegetable of some sort.

Am i the only one with this problem? or are there other freaks like me who can't shop properly?

The ants have finally taken over! But how to rid of them? a few ideas so far are:

a lot of boiling water - and i mean a lot

a giant centrifuge to tear them apart

nuke them

anyone got any better ideas of how to stop the invasion?

how? i mean i know anything is possible but surely even England aren't that crap?

can PM Gordon Brown survive this latest round of questions against him and his leadership?. How much longer can he survive before he not only loses his party the next general election but reduces them to the third or fourth party in the county?
