Two deaths, but just over a mile away since 1999 - one in '04, and one '09. I remember both of them: a drunk in an HGV killed a kid on a moped, and a seventeen year old killed his girlfriend on his way back from the pub. Where I used to live in Hampshire had over two dozen in about the same radius. Ideological Purity is no substitute for being able to stick your thumb down a pipe to stop the water

For that money, they can hire me for six months and I'll come with at least one hundred better improvement idea as the OP.

Then you get news about the sad sack who was voted off, then news about the Sad Sack who finally won it. Then you get the news about which Z-list sad sack (I refuse to call them Celebrities) has agreed to be on the other version of it. Plus last year we had yards and yards of news about how sad other sad sacks were going to be when the last ever Big Brother finished (can we sue them for misrepresentation?), then news about how sad the other sad sacks were because the show was over. That is not news - when will they learn that those people that care about the show already know what is going on because they've watched it already, and the rest of us don't know and don't care Graham Librarians rule, Ook!

Penderyn isnt a bad whisky, rates as good as a 15y/o gledfiddich, it is certainly one to have in a decent collection and certainly better than a lot of exported brands and just about any blended but you do get a better choice with scotch!

I remember a good few years back watching a TV programme about the brain. They asked the studio audience (before the show) to write down what you could do with a brick. Most people wrote about half a dozen things down. One guy wrote down over two hundred things and would have carried on if he had more time! OK some of them were frankly bizare but it was still very creative. Graham Librarians rule, Ook!

Sound advice, but I'm glad my wife didn't heed it all those times she tried to dump me when we were dating. I'm pretty sure she's glad too. :~

Solved it thanks to a colleague. I need to override the PreTranslateMessage message in my tree control class (it was already subclassed so that it wasn't a problem) as follows: BOOL MyTreeCtrl::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) { if( pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN ) { // When an item is being edited make sure the edit control // receives certain important key strokes if( GetEditControl() && (pMsg->wParam == VK_RETURN || pMsg->wParam == VK_DELETE || pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE || GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL))) { ::TranslateMessage(pMsg); ::DispatchMessage(pMsg); return TRUE; // DO NOT process further } } return CTreeCtrl::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); } Graham Librarians rule, Ook!
