Have done - both by email and PM. Thanks

I emailed last week but never heard anything back - did you get my message?

Yes it is. From the sound of it, the thing that's holding you back is actually incredibly straightforward to fix: Go to http://mail.google.com and log in, using the account name and password you set up earlier Click on Settings, which should be located on the top right of the page. This should take you to a page with a load of settings for your mail account. Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP. From the top: Forwarding: Disable forwarding should be checked POP Download: Enable POP for all mail should be checked (this is the setting that will enable you to use OE to read mail) IMAP Access: Don't worry about that one. It'll be fine, whichever option is selected. Save your changes, go back to Outlook and try picking up your mail again.

If I've understood this correctly, you'll actually need to put the addresses of those servers, so: Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.googlemail.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.googlemail.com Fro the sound of it, it's assuming you're setting it up to collect mail from an email account with your ISP. However, you need your account details (username and password) for your new googlemail account instead.

I've never shot anything in my life and the last time I even held an airgun was at a funfair when I was a kid! That said, I do find the idea of going out and bagging a couple of rabbits or pigeons for the pot very appealing. I suppose it's all part of the same hunter-gatherer thing that attracts us to fishing. The thing I really don't get is the appeal of grouse shooting, when all you do is sit there in a butt and wait for the birds to be driven to you. Like I said though, I've never tried it and don't know anyone who has, so maybe there's something about it that I'm just not getting, but it looks more like a video game than hunting to me!

I'm reckoning he's probably already sold it seeing as the post was from July!

... Who can barely conceal his delight.

This is how I do it... Bulk shot hanging off the bottom of the float to cock it and the remainder down the line for fine-tuning. More or less instant depth adjustment and it doesn't damage the line at all if you use the hollow (Drennan?) stops.

Basically, what Ian said. I should add however that both yahoo and googlemail offer free pop accounts.

Don't bother cancelling anything - just stop checking that mail account (once you've notified the people who you'll be giving your new address to, of course). If you're happy with your ISP, then certainly don't think about changing them just to get a new address - just pick up your email from another account. There are loads of places offering free email addresses these days - googlemail is probably your best bet, but there are plenty of alternatives, including yahoo, hotmail etc. Virtually all of these can be set up for POP, webmail and even IMAP, so most of the time all you'll have to do is to add another account to your mail client or a new bookmark in your web browser. The only tricky thing is, as you say, trying to work out which sites you're registered with under your old address and mainly only then if you've got your account set up to receive email notification of PMs etc.

So just how do you kill a shark when you're in a kayak? (Not to mention why the hell you'd want to do that anyway...)

Are you sure they're copyright free? If it was made after 1923 and commercially released, someone will own the rights to it.

I think it's at least as likely that most people simply don't know how and there are fewer people around these days who can show them.

Not that I'm knocking the no doubt splendid information posted here, but doesn't PhotoShop come with a manual these days? I'd have thought if you were keen enough to plonk down nearly £600 for a professional photo editing app, then you'd be sufficiently motivated to read the manual that came with it!

The pictures are certainly shocking, but it's not clear at all from that one page in English what the story actually is... What's this about?

Although something like an iMac is probably going to be the least painful way of doing it, with no previous computer experience at all, he's still in for one hell of a learning curve! If he's starting from scratch though, probably his best bet right now will be the built-in tutorials available through the Help menu in Finder. There's a section called "Discovering Your Mac" which looks like it'll take him right through from the basics ("Menus, windows, and more") to the more complicated stuff. That said, at this stage, if he's never even typed before, he's probably going to be spending half his time staring at the keyboard trying to find the keys...

Never fished up there myself, but I did notice this video on YouTube a couple of days ago which made me fancy taking a bit of a drive! No sign of any cod, but wrasse galore! BTW, if you haven't got a copy already, David Storey's The Codling Crouch is a great book about fishing marks up the North East coast and well worth picking up.

Almost certainly an urban myth, I'm afraid!

Photographer Eric Hosking lost an eye to one. Be very careful round tawny owl nests!

What's a chubb then? A bit depressing that they don't know how to spell the names of the fish they're responsible for...

Why do people do that? Why even go to the trouble of picking up your dog's **** in the first place if you're only planning to dangle it off a gorse bush?

Mine just takes regular screw-in tips, which are available from your local tackle shop.

He must be an extremely anxious sort of fellow if he thinks every picture he can't see is a picture of his lake!
