Could try downloading the latest driver for the modem from the manufacturer's website

Out of interest what modem do you have?

This site may be of help if AVG does not remove the worm.

I have been known to push the odd prawn every now and again. It may be of interest to some that the Crystal Palace Chess Club meets in Sydenham every Monday evening. Details here.

Chessmaster is for chess wimps. Rybka 3 is for real chess players.

Thanks for those kind words, but my PC skills are no more than average. I am however a dab hand with a Search Engine.

Good Luck.

Suzee said, Didn't dare try the train so left home after 9am, got a 75 to Lewisham and then DLR (after 15 min wait) to Bank. Was a slow journey but seated all the way and handy if you work in that part of London. I, like Suzee, chose this way into town this morning, setting off about 9.30am. For tho...

Marymck, There was a brickworks in the area that is now occupied by allotments to the south of Fairlawn Park. I was told by an elderly neighbour that the houses on Fairlawn Park, built over a period of years in the 1890s, were built of bricks from this brickworks. The Stanford Map of 1862 shows a fi...

Yes, there must be some Garland postcards of Fairlawn Park out there somewhere. I have a couple of his cards, quite badly faded, that he produced whilst living in Fambridge Rd, Lower Sydenham.

All the best,

Howard

Steve, At the risk of being extremely cheeky, I don't suppose you have any images of Fairlawn Park itself. I know this end of Sydenham Road seems not to have been very popular with the postcard producers of the early 1900's. I have only ever seen one such card, reproduced in the book 'Sydenham and F...

Steve,

Thanks. That's terrific.

Howard

Steve, Would it be possible for you to upload a bomb damage map that includes Fairlawn Park? Such a map was included in the following thread, but I was hoping for an image with a better resolution. http://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1478&highlight=bomb&sid=c9ba4b1fb970c91108aea4d23...

As the OP has used his presumably real name and address here and aired his suspicisions in a public place, and thus is easily tracable, I would venture that he would have been better off keeping schtum, and at least his windows intact. It may not be puff, and those dealer types play rough. Anybody ...

About half an hour ago I walked into my living room and, glancing out of my window, noticed several items, of what looked like fast food wrappers and bags, being thrown from several windows of a parked car. The car had four occupants, one female and three males aged late teens/early twenties. A minu...

I noticed this interesting collection of documents relating to the 'Sydenham Tradesmen's Cricket Club' c.1930+ on ebay. 10 kilos of documents no less. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/UK-1930s-Cricket-Large-Archive-Sydenham-C-C_W0QQitemZ200242760182QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200242760182&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

An accountant would be prosecuted for encouraging tax evasion. Tax avoidance, on the other hand, is a different matter. If one can travel by a cheaper method without breaking the ticket restrictions that seems OK to me.

... and this is their e-mail address.

second thoughts, best not put their e-mail address on the forum but here is a link to the relevant webpage.

According to the book 'Forest Hill & Sydenham' (Coulter & Seaman), Tannsfeld Road was a latecomer in the development of central Sydenham. The site became available for development after the demolition of a house on Sydenham Road called 'The Elms' in 1894. There are two photos in the book whi...

maybe they enjoy what they are doing and the way they do it and aren't interested in modern concepts such as marketing, Marketing a modern concept? 19th Century, surely.
