Peter Abrahamson I think that a mixture of fruit, cereal or oats porridge, eggs and bacon, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee, does it nicely for me! But then I would be eating too much! They say eat like a king at breakfast, a prince at lunch and a pauper at supper.

How to protect your PC from "WannaCry"

Just an Ordinary Owl? @owlwings (43910) • Cambridge, England 16 May 17

I don't expect this to be much of a discussion. In fact, it's more of an 'informational' (even a 'recipe') but if you have Windows Vista, Win 7, 8 or 10, here is what you need to do. It involves making a couple of new rules for...
