Does anyone know of a retailer in Britain selling AMSTRAD E3 EMAILLER SUPERPHONES?
I found one of the above in a website which told me that I must register with EBAY first. I have spent at least four hours a day for the past four days trying to sign on with EBAY but because I am nearly 80 and had had an account with them in the distant past it ended up in a comic opera – not so funny.
at all as it almost amounted to age harassment. They already had my name, address, telephone number and bank account number on their books but apparently assumed I was fraudster – they even told me my pet dog’s name was wrong – dogs don’t live forever. My email address was wrong , well I have been with Freeserve, Tiscali, TalkTalk and now SKY and have many e-mail addresses left over from them
That is the trouble with living too long, the whole world changes around you and however fast you run you just can’t ctach up.
God Bless

What a way to run a company when a simple telephone call – which they refused ? – could have settled everything amicably


Haha this is the best question I have read in a long time, thank you for the entertainment lol
I did some basic searching and I found this handy little statement:

"the Amstrad E3 is available from Dixons, Currys, The Link, Argos, Carphone Warehouse, Comet, John Lewis and Toys ‘R’ Us. For stockist information, call the Amstrad helpline on 0906 681 6816 or visit www.amstrad.com."

I hope this helps.
P.s. I only clicked on this question because I though it may have had some correlation to the old Amstrad computers of the 80’s but your explanation had me in stitches and I felt I owed it to you to search around a bit

No one knows there name because they were cowards who hide under a rock!! =D
Bryce | Jan 30, 2010


don’t know but i did read an article years ago in readers digest about a tour guide taking a group though the alamo.
one woman roamed away from the group, and the guide said "you need to keep up with us, what are you looking for? " she said, I just wanted to know if there was a back door.

the tour guide said " if there was a back door, we wouldn’t be here right now"

love that story…but i thought that they all died

The "2 survivors" refer to the combatants "Of the Texans who fought during the battle, only two survived: Travis’s slave, Joe, was assumed to be a noncombatant,and Brigido Guerrero, who had deserted from the Mexican Army several months before, convinced Mexican soldiers that he had been taken prisoner by the Texians"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tex an_survivors_of_the_Battle_of_the_Alamo

There were a number of civilian survivors:

"Susanna Dickinson, wife of Capt. Almeron Dickinson
Angelina Dickinson, their 15-month old daughter
Gertrudis Navarro, 15, sister by adoption to James Bowie’s wife, Ursula Bowie
Juana Navarro Alsbury, 28, sister of Gertrudis Navarro
Alijo Perez, 18-month-old son of Juana Alsbury by a previous marriage. (Became a San Antonio policeman and died in 1918.)
Ana Esparza, wife of Gregorio Esparza, and their four children:
Enrique
Francisco
Manuel
Maria de Jesus Castro
Trinidad Saucedo
Petra Gonzales "
http://www.hotx.com/alamo/survivors.html

As an aside Susanna Dickinson confirmed the death of Davy Crockett and that he died at his post. That upset claims that he had been taken prisoner and then executed.

I think I know how to fix brassy blonde hair…?
Well, ladies, I embarked on my dark brown to (hopefully) icy blonde hair color on Thursday. It is now Saturday and I am finally finishing up the mess I made of my hair. Wow. I haven’t seen my natural shade since the 7th grade, I’m 30 now. :-) My mom always said it was "dirty dishwater blonde" and I was white blonde as a kid – hence the original idea for going icy in the first place. I’ve always colored my hair DARKER at home with no problems, but I pretty much stuck to the mantra: going darker at home=ok, going lighter at home=not ok, GO TO THE SALON. Plus, after a mishap in 12th grade of trying blonde in a box, which ended up with me crying and in a salon chair for four hours and $250 less in my pocket. I thought I’d learned my lesson. I did until Thursday. Anyone who colors at home – especially us darker gals – often are enticed by that beautiful blonde hair – well at least I am. I gave in and started perusing the blonde boxes. I’m a huge fan of Clairol Perfect 10 – I have used Medium Dark Brown or Dark Brown. So I thought I’d start there. The lightest blonde really wasn’t want I wanted, plus it said on the box that the darkest hair for optimal results that one could have was dark blonde. My hair was dark brown with some golden/red undertones to it. So I checked that one off and looked some more. I found Clairol Born Blonde Maxi – it claimed to take dark hair (even black) to pale yellow blonde. I was skeptical, but it sounded like a "lighting kit" AKA bleaching kit was what it was gonna take to get my desired blonde. I read the box and it said I would want to consider toning afterwards with Clairol Natural Instincts – light blonde, afterwards. I just bought the Born Blonde and went home to try it. I forgot to mention that I got some Color Oops (get rid of any excess haircolor) too and used that before the Born Blonde. The directions said it was normal for the hair to pass through an orange stage, so I didn’t freak when I saw orange. After an hour of waiting, the orange stayed. Awe, heck. I’M A PUMPKIN! I got on the internet and started looking around. TONE TONE TONE was the answer I got. Fine. So I walked back to Walgreens and bought the Clairol Natural Instincts BRASS FREE light blonde. Side Note: Brass and I have been mortal enemies the last few days. Relieved, with toner in hand, I applied. The directions warned me not to exceed 10 minutes, I followed suit. After rinsing and conditioning (ALWAYS USE THE CONDITIONER THEY GIVE YOU) – I’m serious. Well…I WAS STILL A PUMPKIN! With Walgreens now closed, I was stuck with my pumpkin head. I started researching more on the internet. I started getting the general consenus that it is quite normal to have to bleach again. Friday morning, 5am: I tried the Born Blonde again, only this time I used the Ultra Blue – a kit that promised no brassiness. For double insurance I bought the L’Oreal Brass Banisher to tone with. I applied the Born Blonde. Left it on for almost 2 hours, until I started seeing yellow, then rinsed. I wasn’t thrilled, but I had the Brass Banisher, so I did that. I was getting excited becasue I could have sworn I saw the brassiness starting to go down. Did I finally get the shade I wanted? NOPE. I was now a BANANA with PUMPKIN streaks. My hair looked and felt like straw. I was starting to get worried about my hair starting to fall out. My scapl was burning, the nape of my neck was itchy, I had to give it a rest. Last night, I rinsed again with some conditioner and went back to the internet to scour for some more tips and info so I could fix it Saturday (today). I really hated the advice of "just go to the salon" or "go to the pros" – trust me, I would have in the first place. Anyway. I was now faced with two options : go REALLY dark again or neutralize this mess. I decided to neutralize. I am aware that "ash" reduces "brass", but I also know that there is a risk of going GREEN if you go too dark. I went back to my trusted brand, Clairol Perfect 10, and bought the Dark Blonde shade. It is a neutral shade, so I wouldn’t go green nor would I go even further into the brassy range. Plus, having used Perfect 10 before I know that it fades over time – dark blonde seemed the right way to go, plus with the base I was working with, I knew it was going to come out lighter and with some golden in it. I applied it, left it on a bit longer, about 25 mintues then rinsed. I also put a dime size of ‘Blue Shampoo’ and very gently washed my hair before using the color conditioner. And….FINALLY….SUCCESS! My hair is a nice beigy, honey, wheaty blonde – a "dirty dishwater" blonde with some goledn hues – very much similar to my natural shade. I think? :-) I am relieved, plus it’ll be a good base when I decide to lighten it with a ton of highlights BY GOING TO THE FREAKIN SALON – OR – if I decide to go darker at home. I hope this helped any of you out there who are either thinking of starting,

Does it really take 80 days to go around the world?


Only in the movies.

In real life, it can take be done in many different time frames:
- About 2 hours if you are in the space shuttle.
- The first people to do it in an airplane took 175 days.
- The Rutan Voyager did it non-stop, without refueling in just a bit over 9 days.
- Wiley Post did it several times in planes, with and without any other crew. His shortest flight was 7 days and 19 hours.
- Steve Fosset did it in a balloon in 13 1/4 days.
- Francis Chichester did the first single-handed sailing circumnavigation by the clipper route: nine months and one day. Quite a few others have likewise done solo around the world sailing trips.

And so on.
