I'm royally peed off right now. Have just discovered thar the latest update my PC insisted on making has removed and apparently obliterated my desktop folder of saved games. Those are games I downloaded and paid for over 20 years ago and that I still play every day, Despite me being the first internet expert in the family, my son overtook me in the 30 years that followed. I've tried everything I can think of to get my folder back. Let's hope my son has more expertise and can restore it for me when he visits at the weekend.

last week I was told 'no internet access' . I tried all the usual-pull out the plugs etc - nothing. Then I was told some downloads turn off your internet access?? WHY??? I had to go into settings and turn it back on. But it was several hours of frustration before I was told that. I just wish there was a button I could press that said 'NO MORE UPDATES' I dont need any more!!

2:19 am

Jacula

I know just how you feel, deeha!

I looked on the internet. Can't find a definition for FL6/27. I suspect it is pronounced like least and is some obscure Scot or Middle English word.

12:28 pm

LuvWordGames

Fl 6/27 please?

12:29 pm

MollyL

This is a sincere question. What am I not getting? I thought Harry and Megan walked away from the "Royal family life". So why are they now angry that their kids may not get their "Royal family" titles/

12:30 pm

MollyL

Are they wanting it both ways, or did I miss something?

12:39 pm

hokie carla

I have no idea, but maybe their argument is they just gave up theirs and the kids should get theirs.

12:40 pm

hokie carla

and rehi

12:44 pm

hokie carla

finally found my last word thanks to Luv, but it still took forever. still need a clue, Luv?

12:45 pm

hokie carla

soooo close to finishing one on my own

12:50 pm

MollyL

Could be Carla, but I don't think it works that way. I think with that royal family stuff you are either all in or all out.

Clue for fl7 please....

5:45 pm

Uneaixoise

Nm!!

5:50 pm

Gillie

It looks like it made it into Collins English Dictionary (and maybe others), despite being a proper name, and Enable must have picked it up that way. Dictionaries!

5:52 pm

Gillie

It's the sort of thing that's bound to occur in a word list compiled by automated data trawl, but imagine the man-hours involved in checking every word!

5:52 pm

MollyL

I found "a Woman of loose morals" British?

5:53 pm

Gillie

Oh well, I guess we have to let Enable off the hook.
